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.

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...
(edited to make sense.)

I'd kind of assume that, if somebody is looking for a place to discuss Wonderfalls, and has come to a board that's about Buffy to look for this place, then they already know all the middle steps connecting Buffy to Wonderfalls. But, I don't see any harm in changing the slug of Minearverse to reflect it.
I wonder if Tim feels slugged?

I was thinking that if that happened, the Minearverse thread's sequel could have a Wonderfalls title, to be morphed back into Minearverse if Wonderfalls was canceled or whatever.

Maybe not on this board. But there probably *are* people who might know who the showrunner is, but have forgotten or didn't notice that the thread has been created. And if I were in that group and looking for a place to discuss Wonderfalls, my first instinct would probably be Natter, not Minearverse.
Anyhow, changing the slug makes sense, and thanks to Jon.
(And I have typed Tim's name so often int his post, it has ceased to make sense.)

Could someone please put a break in the HUGE hyphenated phrase in this post? Calli "Coffee On My Monitor" Mar 5, 2004 6:26:21 am PST
Ta, ever so.
Got it, Steph. If a little messily.
