Hasn't it come up and been shot down multiple times? Wasn't avoiding topics like that one of the main reasons for the gf in the first place?
You know, I remembered that it was grandfathered in after I made my anti-TV thread posts. I didn't bring it up because I decided that, after the most recent gf discussion, I didn't want to go there again.
ETA: And Steph explains why I didn't want to bring it up better than I could.
I think we agreed that the grandfather clause card can't be used unless a cite/link to the discussion/consensus is provided. Or maybe I'm just making that up.
Okay, I just didn't remember a general TV thread discussion ever getting that far before which, as I understood it, was NOT covered by the grandfather clause, as it never got serious attention.
I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong about that, but that's why I was curious.

No, you're not making that up, Wolf.
That doesn't mean I'm not crazy.
I think brenda's right about a general tv thread fitting under the grandfather clause. But since it's a moot point right now, I think it doesn't warrant too much debate at the moment.

I agree, but again, the TV proposal only became moot, because we were asked to stop to address a fund-raising issue, which now may not exist.
So - again, I ask - please - if someone wants to challenge an eventual TV thread proposal using grandfather, dig up Betsy's wording on how to challenge, and then dig up your cites where we consensed-out-of-commission a TV thread, and do so pre-emptively, so we don't have a bunch of people already invested in formulating the ballot. It'll make life easier for all of us.

Just to clarify - it was a technical issue and it still exists.

Yes, sorry, there is also a technical issue. But I think Raquel stopped, based on Allyson's plea for us to stop and fundraise. I don't think the proposal died forever. I think it died until we know if we can have a new thread or not (technically - and what that'll entail financially) - and so if someone wants to stop it because of the grandfather clause, they should do it now, and put us out of our misery now.

My plea was to stop until we knew more about board health, and fundraising was about a doomsday scenario, in case board health reached a critical level that meant moving to a dedicated server.
We shouldn't be discussing thread expansion until we know where we're at now, where we will be at the start of the new teevee season.
What we should be talking about is tightening up what we have already, which seems to be moving along, now, anyway.
Adding to the house of cards now seems a bad idea, since we can't see the foundation, yet.
