You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay, I have carried out the will of the collective for questions 1, 3, 7, 10, and 11, i.e., I have closed Buffista Corp, The Quotable Firefly, Spoilage Lite: Buffy, F2F Planning, and Spoilage Lite: Angel.

Question 2 isn't to be implemented until after the death matches are done.

Questions 5 and 8 are the repurposing of Previously and Spoilers as Angel threads. Do we want to close the old thread, and start a new thread for each to reflect this?

Questions 6 and 9 involve the consolidation of multiple threads, and threads titles and such still have to be worked out.

Nobody

A total of 123 ballots were cast. Question number 7 may be the first time in recorded history that all Buffistas have been in agreement with each other.

Heh - that was my thought verbatim, as I read the total. I'm tempted to COMM that item.

(and damn that "read new" I posted that in Press at first - yes, I know, the thread name is all over the place: above the posting box, at the top of the browswer window - I need to pay attention)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Questions 5 and 8 are the repurposing of Previously and Spoilers as Angel threads. Do we want to close the old thread, and start a new thread for each to reflect this?

My opinion:

  • No need to close and reopen a new Spoilers, since it's always been Angel inclusive and I assume that there are already lots of discussions about Angel going on there already.

  • we should probably close Previously and open a new "Previously on Angel" since that's more of a shift in purpose, but I could go either way.

Our wings are not tired.

A slug change for the Previously seems enough in my opinion. Same with Spoilers.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think you only change the slug in Spoilers and start a whole nother thread for Previously. Mostly because of archiving. Otherwise it would look like there was never a Previously Buffy thread.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I think slug changes on both would be sufficient.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'd say just change the slugs on both as well.

I just wanted to thank all the folks who hammered out the ballot, put it together, counted, and are going to do all the archiving/changing/consolodating. Y'all rock the party.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

DX, you da man.
