Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

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.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Can I suggest, if it hasn't already been brought up, a section on what the right-hand column threads are for, and what to post in them?

Press: General news, no natter Beep Me: Personal announcements, no natter

And I know this risks reopening fresh wounds, so I'll leave off commenting on what's appropriate for Press, but I liked Hec's formulation, which I can't now find, of what's appropriate for Beep Me - something like first-degree-of-separation events only? and maybe going grey announcements that are for more than three-four days minimum?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

But "buffy" "usenet" and "downloading episodes" doesn't?

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

But "buffy" "usenet" and "downloading episodes" doesn't?

Compared to product recommendations? I don't think so.

Does the Tuesday night TNT Angel need a separate mention?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

How about:

You can try to download episodes using one of the multitude of Internet file-sharing schemes or find someone on an auction site who will sell you a set. Buyer beware. Have fun.

Isn't that covered on the TNT schedule page?

Ann, that's a ferret.

maybe going grey announcements that are for more than three-four days minimum?

My general principle -- if I'm going dark long enough that people are likely to say, "Where's Fred?," I'll post it in Beep Me. Generally, this means about a week or more.

I just checked. It's not.

Are we positive that they are still running eps on Tues. nights?

That's a good general principle, Fred.

They were last week.

(On edit: but this week there is basketball instead.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Could someone do me a favor and remove this from the FAQ?

Q: I'd like to find this really cool post someone made about Glory being lame a few months ago. Do I have to look through all those threads?

A: Maybe, maybe not. The Buffistas have their very own search engine, but it only searches Table Talk posts up through Buffy 6. Go to [link] f
