Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Well, we can definately consense on asking for the icon. Does anyone want to make the request, and perhaps ask for a time frame (like, if it takes a few days, we might as well vote.)

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

OTOOH, we're making a change to our masthead.

This is the only part I'm concerned about doing without a vote. I'm not opposed, but I think we need to respect our process.

Isn't that kinda the *entire* part?

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

Yeah, that's the entire part.

After that, individual Buffistas can contribute however they like, or even do something as a group to file with the f4w site.

Just guessing here, but I don't think there is much turnaround to adding the name to the icon... unless we wanted to try to talk them into using our font for the Buffistas part which would probably require the help of one of our stompies. Just a thought.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

On the face of it, I am in support of the idea, I think most of us are. So I guess the question is do we vote or consense on this one?

We don't need to vote to put in a link, right? Changing the masthead is a bigger deal, but then again, this change would only be in place for as long as the strike (which yeah seems too long to me when I think about folks out of work).

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I'm not opposed to a bullshit consensus to put up the icon, but if we want to vote on it that's ok by me too. Either way, I'm in favor of doing it.

(This post, like DVD residuals, is mostly useless.)

Yeah, I would much rather put our logo on the sign, which is just a photoshop thing.

We don't need to vote to put in a link, right?

Perhaps we could put something in the " A community dedicated to discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness. Read our FAQ, then join the fun." Like... We support the WGA writer's strike, more information at (link to fans4writers). If you want Buffista strike talk it is here (link to Minearverse).

Only, you know, better. And change the masthead after a vote?

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

Although I personally want the image up ASAP, maybe not everyone here is actually in favour of the strike, and would like the opportunity to vote against the site supporting it.
