Now tagless for your comfort.

I can't find Minearverse 3 anywhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Here's a hivemind question:

I'm using all of the posts from that night (pertaining to raising Nilly's trip money) in Nilly's story, "Random Acts of Paypal."

It's important to show how it organically occurred.

I'm unsure how to go about doing that, given we own our posts.

Is it something we could vote on as a community? I could upload the story to B.org somewhere (or host it myself) so people can read what I'm talking about.

Would it be better to email individuals whose posts I'm using?

It's just such a HUGE chunk of Buffistas being quoted.

I'm looking for opinions on how to proceed.

I think it's safer to do person-by-person, sadly (for you). I don't think (though I have no legal or any other factual basis for this) that buffistas.org owns anything -- I think each person's posts are his or her own. I don't think I have any ability (even through a community vote) to say it's OK for you to publish Buffista X's words.

hip deep in pie

Allyson, why don't you put a call out in Press, with linky to the discussion, and ask for permission to use the posts, and let people email you yea or nay, then after a couple of days, see who's left whose posts you need and email them for permission.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I agree with Jesse. If I'm remebering an old old old thing that came up with a lurker, we each own what we say.

To make it easier, maybe you could Nilly the beginning of the conversation and say, "Please email me your permission to use your posts." ?

Or, what Sue said much quicker than I did.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Might be good to put start and end points on that, since the conversation no doubt did what they always do, and wandered off topic at a certain point.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Natter 44?
I disbelieve.
