Buffy ,'Get It Done'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Wow. I've just been reading at peoplesforum that there's going to be a planned outage to encourage people to donate -- they're not making the $3000/month that it requires to stay afloat.
I am immensely glad and relieved that we've found some equilibrium and a place to get on each other's nerves and snipe and comfort and filter and challenge and code and gift with some degree of stability.
I wonder how much of that is the licensing for the WebX software. Given that WebCrossing is starting to charge for WX, they're probably increasing the fees for the software, too.
It's the same amount he's said he needed for months. And that amount includes his salary.
Yeah, I just took a look at some of the posts in the funding forum. Yeesh. He needs a cluesticking.
Do we want to have another contingency? In case we need to have an offsite discussion, or something?
Is there any reason we couldn't use the Buffista community LJ? I know that's not what it's there for, but it's there. And free.
A lot of people aren't on LJ, though -- as a place to look for an announcement of where to find us, it's fine, but for any extended discussion, nsm.
That's true, amy. I was just thinking that now that LJ registration doesn't require an invite code, and is free, that it's not too far removed from joining PF.
We can still use WX, depending on what the contingency is. It wouldn't work long-term, since free users are limited to 10 posts a day, but it's still available.
ita, Lance is currently getting a severe cluesticking. Whether it'll do any good, who knows?
So yeah, a secondary backup might not be a bad idea.
