Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm all for it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The people are theonetruebix (the Can't Stop The Serenity charity screening person), ElectricSpaceGirl (portland browncoats), Chris Bridges, lexigeek (California Browncoats) and - I think - dreamlogic. (The pizza delivery person from Whedonesque, for lack of a better phrase). I have access to the domain incase they have technical problems, but otherwise I'm not really involved.

They're good people.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The problem with voting is the time frame. If we want to do it, I don't think we want to wait a week.

Could we consensus on it as a preliminary step, make the changes to the logo (or whatever is possible for the admins), and then have the discussion/voting? If it's voted down, we could revert back to the old logo.

What would be great is if that site became the one true site for all fandom groups. Imagine the power all of fandom could wield. Seriously.

Okay, I'm putting down the pipe now.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I like Dana's idea.

Art Crawl!!!

Do we think that the strike is going to be done in a week?

Because, I don't.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think that is a good compromise, Dana. We could also do a truncated voting period or a straight to vote, with discussion happening during the vote.

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

The strike will last anywhere from three to nine months.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Could we consensus on it as a preliminary step, make the changes to the logo (or whatever is possible for the admins), and then have the discussion/voting? If it's voted down, we could revert back to the old logo.

Or, could we consense on requesting Buffistas for the sign logo at fans4writers (which would make Cafepress stuff available in addition to the web buttons) and vote before making any changes to this site?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I like aurelia's idea. I would also not be opposed to a bullshit consensus on the whole thing, but I guess that's not a good precedent.
