You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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'm in favor of Dana's idea.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Should I post a link to Allyson's proposal in Press and let people know what is going on?

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.
Why the rush for a strike that's likely going to last months?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It just seems a little silly to me. "We're going to support you! In about a week, after we get the votes counted. Here we come, supporting you! Any second now!"
But if it's not an issue, that's fine. I was just looking for a compromise.

It seems tacky to be a (relative) latecomer to support the writers, when we could just do it now.

That's how I feel, too.

It doesn't seem silly to me at all.
Look, I'm all for it. But I don't like tossing out our rules for something that's not particularly time sensitive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?
I like this. Individuals can express their support as Buffistas. The site can wait for the process.

First of all, there's no rule that says we need to vote on posting a link. Secondly, showing support is about as time-sensitive as they come.
Also, I think we lead by example. Maybe other fandom boards that see us jump to support the writers will do the same.
