Third thing:
We are decided earlier to put out an all-points bulletin to all the threads. This is the draft text:
Attention Buffistas!
Currently we are in a discussion about how issues on the Phoenix board are decided. If you are a newcomer, you may not know that we are entirely self-supporting and self-moderating, so any changes we make are decided by the entire community.
Please visit the Sunnydale Press thread here: (link to the voting post)
for details.
All further important messages about this board will be posted on this thread only. If you are interested, please check Press.
Questions and concerns can be addressed in the Bureaucracy Thread
Thank you so much for your continued participation in our community .
Can someone else take some of the threads and post this? I think there are way too many for me.

Thank you.
I'll take Due South, LOTR and Atlantic Canadians for sure. Feel free to assign more to me if needed...
Also, when are we going to post this?
Thanks Elena!
I am going to post the Press note at about 11:55 (in about 10 minutes).
Feel free to change my wording to make it more fun! I can be abrupt.
For future reference, I'd suggest that the next iteration of the poll take you to a "thank you, your vote has been received!" page after your vote is processed correctly -- the red band is really an awfully small an area to change the text in and have it be noticeable.
Yikes, it is soon. I can take Bitches, Natter and Previously.
Of course, more if needed.
Wow, Jon's form looks great! I'll look forward to voting, soonish!
