To put something resembling content in here, there seems to be 1322 registered Buffistas, now. Wow.

I think you meant to post those in COMM?

ooops, thanks Jon. Will move.

Is there any place we could accomodate spoilers for the unaired Wonderfalls episodes?
Would the spoiler thread citizens mind having them in there? Would we want to wait 'til after the Angel finale, so that people who don't want to be spoiled for Angel, but want to know what happens to Jaye, could get at least the bits of the spoilers that are out there?
Anyone?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
You want a good blend of comedy and action, without a lot of backstory to confuse the new viewer.
I'm not sure if we even need this sentence anymore -- since new viewers are going to be either watching the show on FX or DVD, there's no reason not to start them with WTTH, is there?
Also, do we want to add a section on getting people hooked on Angel there? Firefly?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Only thing for me is, I wouldn't add the thing about names. As the person who brought it up (only in reminiscence, mind you) I feel really badly that it's had an impact on board behavior. I didn't mean for it to, I was only making an observation, and I think that our culture is different from TT's and there's no reason to arbitrarily preserve their mores. I don't want anyone who has a traditional (read: not real name) handle to feel like they're anything but a true Blue part of Buffistahood. Using real names is a practice that's counter to internet generalities, and I don't think it's something we specifically need to incorporate here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What Liese said. If that is her real name.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Agree with Liese generally, but maybe we could replace it with something (or put something in the registration FAQ) discouraging names that would foster confusion?

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

That text should go on the registration page itself, I think.

I agree. Something about not using names of ME writers, actors, etc.

Q: What's up with the American syndication schedule for Mutant Enemy shows these days?
Considering how often the re-airing schedules on FX and TNT are likely to change, I'd suggest just putting a link to the FX and TNT websites, rather than trying to keep up every time FX moves Buffy. I tracked down those links and included them when I posted my few FAQ revisions.
