The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Also, will we have a "Goodbye, 2003" thread, like the previous two years?

I was wondering the same thing myself. It was nice to have a place to exchange recipes, coordinate holiday plans, and let your Secret Santa know that your gift was received and appreciated.

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

We usually do that early in December. (I was thinking the same thing, so I checked.) Probably best to wait until after we make the move to the new host.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm a slacker, you're a slacker, who's a slacker too?

According to Dani "Sunnydale Press" Nov 10, 2003 1:18:59 pm PST :

I've decided to just declare an arbitrary cutoff and pass any more names on to Nilly.

I got no names at all, so I don't think anyone has been missed. I've e-mailed Dani and will post in Press once I know exactly what's going on.

I'm deeply sorry for the confusion.

Related to nothing, I just found out some really delicious Angel casting spoiler news and I realized that I have no safe harbor to disseminate it and discuss it without being exposed to hard core spoilers. My question really is, when can we propose to re-open the sadly defunct spoilage light thread?

Please note, this is not a proposal. I just wondered if someone could give me the exact date, under the current rules, when we could discuss opening the thread again.

ETA: After a quick glance at Voting, it looks like we closed the thread around August 24, 2003. So is it February 24, 2004 that we can first propose a reopening?

And as a follow-up question, is there anywhere else, other than Angel Spoilers, that we can discuss Angel casting spoilers, maybe in whitefont?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nope, not with the non-existence of Lite.

Thanks ita. That's what I figured but I wanted to be sure.

dang.

Wolfram, do you want the spoiler confirmed, or did you just want to talk about it?

For what it's worth, the last 10 posts in spoilers have been:

  • bitching about politics and work

  • mention of casting spoiler for an upcoming episode (no details, just the actors' identities)

  • Discussion on whether or not the series will get picked up for a 6th season

  • Whether or not Kristin (of E! online -- formerly Wanda) is accurate

The last post is here: Lyra Jane "Angel SPOILERS" Nov 15, 2003 5:20:06 pm PST

If you click that, you'll be taken to (at least as of now) the last post in the thread, and you can post your stuff. Hope this helps as a work around. However, spoils can and do come in when they come--caveat lector.

Just wanted to talk about it. Thanks for the sum up and link, but I'm too chicken to even pop into the thread. I'll live. ;)
