Hey folks,

I'm trying to neaten things up around the site somewhat and was looking to enlist some assistance.

One avenue of assistance is that I am looking for suggestions as to what changes people would like to see, and what people would like left the hell alone. Also I think we should give separate sub-forums to the more popular tv shows/franchises and would like to hear which you think deserve their own.

Another is that I am tidying up the TV/other stuff area and would appreciate any real TV-heads, especially Americans to help me identify which shows are dead and which continue to exist.

So, let me know.

Cheers

Um... from the way things are moving around out there, it seems you have a good idea of how you want them.

As long as we know where things went, when you're done, I'm good with that. I haven't been watching much actual tv (on the telly, that is) so I can't help with that.

What about teams? Are they fixable? Can passwords be changed yet?

I'm with Joni. As long as I can find it once it's been moved, that's fine.

I could give you a list of shows that are dead, but it seems like the topics would speak to that. Maybe not really for some of the newer shows, though. Most shows are on haitus due to the writer's strike. Some will definitely be returning, but others might not. We really don't know yet.

I don't know if there's a thread for Viva Laughlin, but it's gone and I don't see anyone wanting to discuss it. If there's a thread for it, I doubt anyone wants it.

I definitely like what you've already done.

As far as American TV, I watch BSG, baseball, and my soap opera, so I'm no help.

If there's a job for a technological idiot who doesn't watch TV, let me know, and I'd be more than willing to pitch in.

I agree!

Add me to the folks that like it. Looks and operates well.

How about 'General Multimedia Discussion' or or 'General Entertainment Discussion' or something similar instead of 'General TV etc Discussion'?

BSG threads that need to be moved:

Not sure how dead you're looking for (off air completely or just canceled/finished?) so I included everything that caught my eye.

Much appreciated, have now shifted most of those, I think it will probably take a while for me to get everything moved, as it has to be done from the forum and not the actual thread, and it requires me to keep going over every bloody page in there, although with all the moves i think it's down to something like 16 pages now, so it gets quicker all the time.

Still waiting for any further suggestions, but maybe everyone is entirely happy with things as they are? Seems unlikely with this crowd.

Doing a little housecleaning, I see? Looks great, so far, and should be easier for everyone to find what they're looking for, seems like. A lot of work for you, Dev, but the results should be worth it....brilliant idea!

Hey, I'm a librarian with an unhealthy need to organize sh!t, and I honestly think the way you've rearranged things is quite good. I think you've gotten to know me well enough to know I wouldn't hold back.

Well, so far I'm quite happy with what you've done, dev. It all makes good sense and things are getting easier to find.

That said:

There was a Greg The Bunny thread and I never knew it?
*sigh*

I don't have any complaints about it either. It's actually made things much easier to find.

Well think how I feel, it never aired over here, and now I am left for all eternity, wondering what the hell it was.

Hehe

lol. I actually own the DVDs of the network show, not the IFC version. It was quite funny.

I think Count Blah is my favorite character.

OK fine, don't tell me what it was then, just tease me some more.

I've wondered what it was ever since it got a shout in the season 4 opener of Family Guy (along with our beloved Firefly)

lol. The basic premise is this:
Puppets are alive, but discriminated against. They're called Puppish-Americans in the show.

Seth Green's character lives with Greg the Bunny. Greg is trying to find a job. Greg and Seth both end up working at a PBS like station on a Sesame Street type show called Sweet Knuckle Junction, which is Greg's dream job. There are other puppets on the show including Count Blah & Warren the Ape (total snob, and a drunk).

The puppets are very flawed characters. They drink, they have issues, they smoke... Basically, it's about the characters finding their way and having trials and tribulations along the way. It's quite funny.

The opening song goes something like:
We sing and dance
but we don't need pants
and we're just. like. you.

We have regular jobs
but with low doorknobs
and we're just. like. you.

Yes we graduate from Harvard
(at the head of my class)
And if you test sobriety
(I might not pass)
See, there's no strings attached and there's no hand up my...

And we're Juuuuuust Liiiiiiike Yooooooou.

OK now I really want to see it.

I wasn't sure about most of the Brit ones, like The Office I figured was kind of active just because of the US version going on still.

You folks think I need to seperate movies, TV, books and comics?

I think you're fine where you're at, without too much more fiddling. In my experience (which is admittedly and laughably little ), you don't want the board to get too compartmentalized.

Re the Sarah Connor and Chuck threads, I'm torn: I agree they're crew shows, but they're also active shows with a fair amount of posting that people will probably look for in the GED subform, not in The Crew subforum. So basically, if I remember where they're at the next time I want to post about those shows, I'm fine with their location. But if I have to spend half an hour trying to remember where they're at, I might yell at you. (Being the senile cranky old hag that I am! )

Fair enough.

(Psst, wont they be easier to find though as they are in the less crowded subforum?)

It's not so much the crowdedness of the subforum as it is me staring at the Main Index and thinking 'eenie meenie miney moe'. Not that there are any monkeys here, of course.

I see your point, but then I would urge you to think, does this star one of the crew? (and the show does not have it's own subforum) Then I shall go to The Crew.

But maybe I think differently from others, so what does everyone else think?

This is why I subscribe to threads. This way, whatever I'm interested in will send me a message when someone posts there.

I vote that they be in the crew forum, for the simple fact that there is a BDH, in each show. Then in that case wouldn't SGA be in there as well since Jewel joined on....or would it remain in GED because it's lumped together with SG-1?

Hmmmm....I'm at a loss...

I have no idea, that's why I asked for everyone's opinion.

Hey, I may be vocal but I'm perfectly happy with whatever you decide. Until I get mad. But you're 5000 miles away from me, so no kicking can ensue.

Then yes, in the crew area, which is one vote... SG as well

sorry it took me so long to get here, dev....I was surprised at first, and it takes a little getting used to, but I like it....I think it's more efficient but then, what do I know?

I like it this way, It's so much easier to find stuff. I'm still getting used to it, but I don't think it'll take me that long.

Shouldn't Slither be under The Crew now?

Yes. I just hadn't moved it because as gossi had bothered setting up a seperate subforum for it before I somehow perceived it as "special" and didn't want to screw around with.

If however there are no objections then I will move it.

So, objections anyone?

None here.

Go for it.

Hey, dev, a couple of things:

Could you add a subtitle to this thread -- "aka The Goners Forum Thread".

Could you then move it to the Jossverse forum? Because someday there may still be a movie called Goners. Someday...

Done and done.

And there damn well better be, I really dont want to have to become the ruler of the world to make it happen, there's too much paperwork involved, but if it is what is required, then so shall it be.

You would TOTALLY have my vote!

Hey, dev, the original Cabin in the Woods thread is still in General Entertainment, could you move it to Jossverse? Thanks!

Why do I have -1 new messages? I feel so -loved.

That's odd. Perhaps it's an Invision Board problem. I remember the same thing happening at Skiffy.

Maybe the sender took it back.

All I know is that you suck and deserve to die and you're over-oppressive and stifle my free speech. I am willing to help with whatever criticism of the site and you personally is required.

But if you could devote a sub-forum to the "Spock's Brain" episode of Star Trek I would be forever indebted and give you hugs and kisses.

(Yeah, useless post, but I'm very tired and drunk.)

Wow! You must be drunk. I've never seen you use so many words at once!

I love this guy!

So where's my "Spock's Brain" sub-forum, you fascist?
