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

Are there really folks out there who know where we are at PF but can't find us at WX or here?

If we're at PF, there is no here, so people like Perkins who needed the link reposted wouldn't have easy access to the info.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The Buffista Yahoo! group is still functional. If both "here" and WX go down at the same time and we have to fall back on PF, the URL can be posted through the Yahoo email.

If the PF non-member blocks have teeth, then I can concede leaving pointers in each abandoned thread header. But I'd really rather not.

Just my atavism talking.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well, considering the problem poster at issue has been reading here, she may already have the links to the new folder.

Don't know that pointers would be a problem.

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

Anywhere we put links to thenew destination is going to be pretty publically visible. Lance has stated that member folders are supposed to be access controlled, and if a PF user starts circumventing those, he will get involved.

That's good teeth.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I also bookmarked the PF link, so I'm set.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Jon, you don't know how hard it was to wait that long. I wanted to give until 10 minutes after midnight in case my mail was slower than usual -- but I'd been counting as they came in, with a spreadsheet, so it wasn't hard to post as soon as it was over.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'd like to note that once again, the AYES have it. Our record of voting in everything proposed still stands.

Which speaks well to the process of crafting a proposal, or maybe we aren't as many different types of wrong-headed crackpots as we'd thought.

Well, Burrell, I kind of expected this one to be a shoe-in. I'm not sure something that everyone hates would have a chance to make it all the way to a vote. I mean, this actually derailed at least 1 or 2 things that were in the queue ahead of it (I'm assuming because everyone wanted it done now and/or were swept away by the glory that is msbelle).
