Hey, I wiggled my butt at you at the Prom!
there is a difference between a butt wiggle and a lap dance. Usually about $100.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Anyway, I took a peek at the Supernatural thread and it is flying along. Which I think is a good thing. I think the fandom element is still very strong glue for this community even if we don't have just one fandom to focus on anymore. It's as strong a bond as the social ones.I want to take this statement as a good thing, but I still kinda bristle. The new thread is working because we are making it work, but, well it's still a very touchy topic for me.
Supernatural is flying, but Boxed Set is quieter, it feels. Not so happy with that.Guess we did talk a lot there. And there was cross pollination for me. Wait, Plei says it better here:
It worked for some, didn't work for others. It did work for me, and now I'm not even in it, and unless something catches my eye next season that I feel hypercompelled to discuss, I won't be. Which makes me sad, even as I'm enjoying in-depth discussion of gender issues in the new thread.

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

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
People call me "Cor" all the time. Perhaps I am 3/4 of the fabled core member.
Kudos on the poll work, y'all. That was a huge undertaking.

Cor--you are the reason I post in music most of the time. Really. I just like the chance to say howdy.

I concur with this. I think coupled with a higher quorum it would make a difference.
Any ideas on what would work best if we raised the quorum?
I'm attached to a percentage of users - either active posters (by one of ita's counts), or of total registered users.
I'm not sure where to peg that percentage though it should produce a number higher than 42.
70% of voters in the poll were uninterested in revisiting the voting rules. What do you think is broken where you are so eager to change them?

Lurkers don't matter because they never say what they're thinking.
But as Jesse has pointed out, people whose names you don't know have given money to support the board. Sometimes even a healthy amount of money.
Lurkers matter in ways we're not seeing.
They're still in the minority, but they participate in unseen ways.

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But many were interested in making it harder to create new threads, IIRC. Perhaps we need to raise the quorum just for thread creation? Time-and-a-half (63) or something?

70% of voters in the poll were uninterested in revisiting the voting rules.
Except that 53% thought that establishing a more difficult threshold for creating a new thread was a good idea.
These two things are indirect contradiction with each other, unless you presume that some significant portion of respondants don't think creating a greater threshold for thread creation is the same as revisiting the voting rules.
