Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If the board is handling the volume, does that mean we'd be shutting down registrations for personal reasons?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think it's an unofficially proposed suggestive suggestion. Or something.
I do need a place to talk Wonderfalls eps. Need need need.

I wasn't suggesting we shut down specifically because of the MSN article. But more because we've been mentioned in a number of places and we've certainly had a not-insignificant number of new regs in the last week. I think it might be beneficial to the board to shut down registrations for a few weeks and see how things shake out.

I'll sub for Jess PTakeBacker. We're at member number 1413 right now. I think it was 1409 only a few hours ago.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think it would depend on ita saying that we're taxing our capacity too much to accomodate all the new people.
I haven't heard that yet.
Closing regs would be a significant change in our culture, and I wouldn't be inclined to set that precedent especially as it seems like the tide of attention is receding.
My personal lesson (your lesson may vary) during the thread closure push, was that we probably overreacted a little bit. Because I think we probably should've/could've kept Spoilers Lite among other things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I officially propose opening a Wonderfalls Spoilers Thread.

For me? It's personal. I'm hand wringing. I like slow growth. This is too much and I'm not having fun. Which is all my own personal ish.
