I'm wondering if the "Order" thread should either be closed or renamed to reflect the 2006 airing to help reduce the confusion of it having anything to do with the 2009 airing...

Any suggestion on how the renaming should reflect the 2009 airing? After all, 2006 ordering made sense once the series concluded. I suppose we can close the thread, but I'm also interested to find out if anyone can provide an alternative suggestion.

For now I did what we did with the other episodes and just manually added "(2009)" to indicate that it's the new episode 4, which is in sync with the way we (were) listing the episodes on the main site.

I'm not exactly sure where to put my question because I feel that its inappropriate to put it in the Q and A topic because it relates specifically to the genderbending of Haruhi but I also feel that it's kind of off topic from what is being discussed.
I dont really know how to explain this so it might end up being a bit rambly so sorry about that but here goes.
I was wondering what would generally be considered the first design for the genderbent cast that are recognisable as the designs in common use today?
For about the last year I've basically been emersed in internet theory studying everything from how information flows on the net to how projects like wikipedia actually work which conecided with my watching of Haruhi and the discovery of this website.
What facinates me about the genderbending project are two observations, one the re writing of the novels is one of the rare examples of the production of a book being crowdsourced (Taking a task normally done by a designated individual in this case an author and giving the task to a large group of people in the form of an open call) people have theoriesed about it being possible but its never actually been done.
I'd also be interested to see if contributions to the project followed a power law distribution, where the top 10% of contributors provide 90% of the contributions.
The second observation being that in terms of the fan art it appears to be an example of collective intelligence.
What I mean by that is according to convention wisdom, if a group of artists distributed throughout the world with little to no contact is asked to take a specified character from one tv show then draw them in the opposite sex there should be as many different interpitations as there are artists.
but there isnt, theres one character design that is the approved design and any deviation is wrong.
Why did that happen? I've not really been around long enough to add real insights into this occurance having other members of the community shed some light on how the project developed in its infancy (assuming those members are still around) would really help me shed some light on how collective intelligence works.
As you can see the topic of discussion is more about how the project functions rather than actually writing it.
That doesnt help me find out what the earliest images are and I'm assuming theres a difference between the various groups working on the project such as the english language group and that japanese group.
For that, I think you may need to search one of the booru sites... Any images from over a year and a half ago would be the earliest.
However, this is not a discussion topic. This would have been better off in either the GB Image thread, the main GB thread or, yes, the Q&A thread.

Due to the delicate nature of its backstory, I suggest a new thread for "The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato" manga (it could probably be named as such). It is a spin-off, but it has deep roots in some very spoilery parts of Volume 4, so discussion would not be ideal in the Spin Off thread. Similarly, it is not "canon", so discussion in the Spoiler thread may be unwelcome by some.
Alternately a laxation of any spoiler rules in the Spin Off thread (with ample warning) could suffice.
I think we're going to have to wait until access to the second part is available before that happens.

^ It is being based upon that same universe somewhat. So there could be some similiarities that could lead to spoilers.

Just wanted to add a little message to the Mods. Seeing as though i have the first post of the Spin-Off thread, feel free to edit whatever you want, however you want, as you see fit to it. (Although i have a feeling you would've done so anyway, even if i hadn't said anything )

So, now that the "new" season is in progress, can we have these threads (plus a generic character thread for the other characters)?

I foresee a lot of problems arising with the Nagato one...
