'Underneath'
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.

I don't really care either way, I think the main problem is just organizing things neatly.
This is my thought too. That, and people who don't know about the Minearverse thread not knowing where to discuss Wonderfalls. I don't want a new thread, but I do think changing the subtitle to something Falls-specific and posting a notice in press as to where show discussion goes might be good ideas.
Or, you know, we could not.
I know we had some discussion about this way back when, but I don't remember and don't want to go back to look.
My thought is that I'd prefer to keep the number of threads that Tim has to keep track of to a minimum. So I'd say keep it in Minearverse on that basis alone. Otherwise I'm good with whatever we do.
Keep it in Minearverse and change some of the slug to provide clearer directions?
Something along the lines of "... the collective works of Tim Minear (i.e. Wonderfalls)..."
I wonder wonder why the wonder falls....
I'm all for a new slug--that way if things get off topic (and when don't they?) they will still be on topic.
How about:
Discussion of the collective works of Tim Minear. Wonderfalls included. Beagles optional.
Discussion of the collective works of Tim Minear. Wonderfalls included. Beagles optional.
Sounds good to me. I think this just needs a slug adjustment.
adjusts own slug in sympathy.
That, and people who don't know about the Minearverse thread not knowing where to discuss Wonderfalls.
Surely this isn't a large enough group to worry about. The Minearverse thread seems like such a logical place for the Wonderfalls discussion that I don't even see the need to change the slug, but I'm a weirdo that way. After all, didn't we kinda anticipate this when we created the thread?
Right. I thought the whole idea of a Timworks thread was for all the potential works he might do/has done, including the ones cancelled so quickly they don't warrant a thread of their own and the ones in perma-rerun on TNT.
Not that we haven't milked 13 episodes of Firefly for 3 showthreads and a spoiler thread, but that was, um, a special case. I think if there is a vast groundswell for Wonderfalls, and it looks like it will survive, and it is enough of a discussion to overwhelm Natter and/or the Minearverse, then it will be time to talk about it having its own thread.
Surely this isn't a large enough group to worry about.
Actually, I expect there are lots of people (possibly not on this board) who don't know who the showrunner for Wonderfalls is. But they may be smart people with good things to say, and seeing a thread titled "Minearverse" will not help them find the right spot for discussion.
Heck, there are people out there who love Buffy and Angel who don't know Joss' name.
I don't think it's a huge concession to make the appropriate thread more easy to identify...
