I should probably be honest, though: this is kind of sneaky thead creep. I only don't mind it because it's creeping in the direction I think we should be going (ie, all-purpose pop culture board) in a post-Jossverse world.

But -- is it sneaky thread creep if we're discussing codifying a change?

So we're really just talking about a change to the slug and header (and possibly title) assuming that the thread regulars are okay with this?

Current thread header (info on top of page one of thread) reads:

Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.

Current slug (or whatever, on the main page, and message center, under the link to the thread) reads:

Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more.

1) Would the same spoiler policy suffice (or what is the de facto spoiler policy now, for non-B/A comics, books, & more)?

2) Should the thread name be modified a little?

3) How should the header and slug read?

Can anyone think of any other questions or issues?

Sneaky because it's not "hey, do we want a comics thread?" It's, "Hey, we're already using that thread for that anyway...." when the truth is there are people interested in comics who have never been into that thread (see MM, above), and clearly not all the comics conversations are in there (see any other thread). I think publically changing the focus of that thread will lead to the same amount of increased traffic as opening a new thread, honestly.

Should the thread name be modified a little?

I'm all in favor of changing the name altogether -- to The Android's Dungeon and Comic Shop.

Or, Frodo's of Shelbyville.

Have you seen the Angel thread lately, or the Minearverse today? (That's not a flip question, nor am I ragging on the comic lovers. I'm just trying to state it plainly. The conversation is happening, it's just dispersed).

What if we don't change the name, or don't change the name much (i.e. The Jossverse and others in Other Media), and just add "and other comics" to the header and slug?

Popping to end of thread to assure all that votes are being received.

Resume.

Did we really allow the chick in FLORIDA to count our votes??

Indeed I have. I am for us having a comics thread. I just think we should go through the process, and not just slip it by.

How about something like:

"Other Realms"

Subheading: "Other Media such as Graphic Novels, etc., including Jossverse Comics."

EDIT;

For instance:

Other Realms 1: Rebirth isn't guaranteed.
