Nope.

I would suggest seeking out transcripts and posting them where available if this issue really bugs you - the additional verbiage seems too much like a disincentive to posting.

Last comment, in the Darwyn Cooke thread:

As above, get checked and do it early. I'm in a rotten state myself due to an entirely unexpected development, but you people can perhaps get ahead of the game with a little forward planning. This is nothing you want.

In the dark future of the 40th millennium there is only war, and bitter metatalk arguments about how the war is discussed and who's fault it was and can we really call it "The Imperium of Man" and the Tau shouldn't be shunned because of anti-anime prejudice.

Suggestion: instead of posting comments such as "I can't see this!", "don't you know this is paywalls!" and "I've made a Meta about how dumb you are!" Try the following:

A) Try asking if there is an alternate way to view the content, or if it's a news type thing an alternate source of information. So you could try "I can't see this in [x] because of [y], is there any way around that?" or "the [x] announce my on the [y] site is… [more]

Weirdly its iRL meetings and Twitter that make me think of MeFi as a community almost more than the site itself.

Possibly I just dig my own little community within MeFi.

I am fascinated by determining the precise location of that fictional locations in Seattle-set TVs and movies would occupy. For instance Seattle Grave Hospital appears to be located at the base of the space needle, and depending on which window view you believe Mr Grey's apartment may be hovering somewhere above the sound.

If we create a MeFi Horror Film Club club can we get the existing posts retroactively imported?
posted to MetaTalk by Artw at 12:09 PM on May 22, 2015

(I am sort of the person currently holding the stick for MFHC so I guess I should go ahead and do that, unless we want to be democratic or whatevs)
posted to MetaTalk by Artw at 12:10 PM on May 22, 2015

That would be helpful - the sticking point in particular hear is it's a bunch of posts by different users.

OK, I've been bold and added Mefi Horror Club as a club... next step would be to import everything tagged mefiHorrorClub. It also occurs to me that when i set it up would have been a great time to inlcude a link to the guidelines in the description and I neglected to do so - is it editable?

I should probably make an announcement post as well - should that be a general FanfareTalk post or sohould i do it from within the club? If I do it from within the club will it even be visible to others?
posted to MetaTalk by Artw at 3:27 PM on May 22, 2015

Pretty sure horrirclub should all be in mefiHorrorClub too, yup.

So, I'm sort of assuming the movie anouncements would still go out in regular FanfareTalk, even though they'd get the tag, is everybody cool with that?
