Who ARE core Buffistas? I hear this term a lot but I think we may all have different definitions. Does core mean people who post a lot? People who do work like stompying? People who make noise in B'craxy? To me, the core is folks who would radically change my experience of the board if they stopped posting--posters like (off the top of my head) ita, Betsy, Hec, Teppy, Paperdol, Nilly, Erika, Aimee, KristinT, Jesse, GC, ND, JZ, MsBelle, Bon, Tommy, Frank, BillyT, Cindy, Connie, Cashmere, Flea and I know there are WAY more I am forgetting. I don't know what "Core" means to anyone else. For me, core is people who make my experience here as rich and fun as it is.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yeah, but he was addressing *my* discontent
Ahhh, got it.
what's fixed for some is still broken for others.
Sorry, Plei, didn't mean to open any old wounds.

Who's counting the votes? I voted last night and still haven't received my confirmation email.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
See, but I am in the Gang of 14, but I don't think I am a core buffista!
Seriously, I am sure each person defines it differently, although I bet that ita would make everyone's list as she has so much to do with the technical aspects.
I tend to think of core buffistas as ones that I remember from way back at TableTalk, but I am sure others think differently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The confirmation email doesn't have anything to do with the vote counter. It's sent out automatically. Check your spam folder and see if it got tossed aside.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And I'll point out again that the inclusion of NP has never yet made a difference as to whether a thread was created.
Numerically, no, but I still feel like it's created an expectation that it's okay or even encouraged to vote "what she said" rather than what you actually think of the proposal. And if voting was supposed to reduce BS consensing, that's not the direction to go. (Down with NP!!)

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
I thought it was the Gang of 16?
Or is that the number of the Bitch Cabal?

See, but I am in the Gang of 14, but I don't think I am a core buffista!
Sure you are! You, like, organized the first F2F and stuff! Even though you and Erin aren't around as much, you're still Hard Core, drat it!
In my mind.
Of course, everyone will have a different set of Core Buffistas. Which rules, in my opinion.

This is, of course, the real reason that There Is No Cabal.
