A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Since thread creation is off the plate, I have a proposal for thread consolidation.
I propose that we begin some minor housekeeping. What gets consolidated is open to debate, but I would like to have an official discussion followed by a vote.
Here is what I am initially proposing:
1. The Buffista Corp thread gets closed. Bless its Cafe Press heart.
2. At some point, post-death match that the Buffy quotable thread be closed.
3. The Previously thread will be repurposed for Angel.
4. Due South, Smallville and perhaps Farscape will be consolidated in some way.
Any seconds?
I'll second that. I think those are fairly painless matters but it'll get us started the right direction.
ETA - I'm assuming those would all be separately voted, right? Just for clarification.
I'll second the idea, Kat, but I'm concerned about taking this to lightbulbs in the normal fashion, as I think this particular subject needs to be discussed as long as it needs to be discussed, and locking it into a four day discussion might be too short.
Brenda, I'd envisage that each is a yes/no vote and they stand alone, but they live on the same ballot. If that makes sense.
Sean, I think a four day discussion, at least with the easy ones and with an eye towards hashing out others that may never make it to ballot is possibly the only way to discuss. If we let ourselves talk it forever, we're going to be screwed because we probably won't agree because we will have strong feelings about certain threads. (In my head, I keep thinking, NO! NOT SMALLVILLE. . .)

KAT - a couple of more housekeeping items:
- Close Buffy Spoilers Lite
(I think it's the one closing we all can agree on.)
Also?
- Change the name of the Buffy/Angel Spoilers thread to "Angel Spoilers"
Elena re: Quotables - I am sorry. I didn't realize how long the deathmatches ran. I also didn't know your Angel-getting was up in the air.

Hmm... good point. Given an indefinite amount of time to discuss, we will dicuss indefinitely.

Works for me. I just wanted to be sure, since one or two of those might have more dissent than others, though they're all pretty doable, IMO.
Cindy, are those suggestions for Kat to add to her proposal?

Kat - If there's stuff we can't include on the ballot for this proposal, but don't realize that until Lightbulbs discussion makes it evident, can we agree to not moratorium it out of business for six months. I can't think of a for instance, but do you know what I mean.

Cindy, we'll be getting Angel on Space on Thursdays (when are they airing in the US?), the big question is when are they going to air on ASN, and will it be before or after the US gets it.
