'Objects In Space'
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.

I hate to interrupt the flow, but I have a non-voting question.
No idea if it's my because of my winning personality or because it was just so original, but now I have had several people suggest I keep using the name I registered while we were at WX.
Can I change my name, or do I need to re-register?
I think a stompy can make the change for you Schmoker.
Thanks, Sue.
Done.
I liked it, because it makes me think of Good Omens.
Oh, now I get it. I was confused by the Plei post at WX talking about Schmoker's nice new name.
Of course, I was skimming.
Of course, now I feel stupid.
So, on the real, does anyone object to voting on Cindy's proposal, starting at midnight?
I'm all for the voting.
What form will the votes be in? I get that we're doing it via email, but will there be a web page to send mail from, or will it just be standard email? (Sorry if I sound daft -- I'm not great on technology.) And will we ask people send in their votes in a standard format to ease tallying?
I'm with Dana in the "I'm out of town now, why?"
- First, I oppose 3/4 day span. I will always be out of town for a full week, once a month, every month. But that's just me. If the consensus is consensed, I'll go with the flow.
- Second, I'm very sorry that we are in this discussion, that people have serious problems with the way things have run in the past, and that we're formalizing. I had felt very pleased with the consensus (consensi?) we'd appeared to have come to in the past, and I apologize personally to those who felt inadequately represented in the past, or who were unhappy with the decisions that were put in place. I'm really disappointed that consensus didn't work. I'm disappointed that consensus cannot continue to work.
- Lastly, good luck, and will someone please email me at my profile addy when a vote is being taken, because I find it unlikely that I will be able to keep up with this debate from the road.
We will send an email to votes@buffistas.org, which will forward to jengod, who will tally them.
