Heh. Yes, I'm definitely pro privacy. Yay privacy, go privacy!

I thought the vote was to put a link on this site to fans4writers. I don't know anything about affiliating or advertising.

This is what Allyson needs to clarify in the wording of her ballot.

I personally read her initial post as being more along the lines of -- can we go to fans4writers and say "Buffistas support the strike"? (The banners were intended to work both ways. A consolidated display at fans4writers.com as well as links at the individual sites.)

Saying this is an actual concern if we haven't actually asked b.org as a whole if they'd like to do that.

If someone sends pretzels and says "The Fans of The Office support the WGA", who knows how true that is? It's basically hyperbole, because sure thing no one polled every fan. But, there's also no backlash to be had if someone disagrees with the support stance. Individual fans can stand up and say, hey, I watch The Office and I don't support jack, but there's nowhere for them to really direct their ire.

If someone buys pizza and says "The members of Whedonesque.com support the WGA", well, they're a private board. So long as they are a site owner or their representative, they can say anything they want. If there's backlash, that's their risk to weigh up. Current members who feel misrepresented can un-member themselves.

If someone here makes a banner which says "Buffistas support the WGA" they are actually speaking for the community. If that banner draws negative attention, then there is a place that might be targeted in that response. And that's something that the members of b.org need to have resolved as a community.

Do I actually think that there would be negative backlash? I do not. But man, there are some trolls and flat minded people apostin' out there on the interknits. Who knows how craxy they'll be come the dead of winter when they've been on a steady diet of reality television for a couple months?

But also speaking for myself, I can display my support in a number of ways, none of which needs to involve b.org if that's what the majority of members want.

While I am in a PayPal mood, can someone remind me how to donate to the board?

Thanks!

PS: I just saw a donation made recently that I didn't get an email about, so I apologize to anyone who didn't get confirmation from me.

Thanks, Jesse!

I closed the Book Club thread (Harry Potter iteration) and put it away, in case anyone's looking for it.

So, I am not sure where to put this, can someone recommend? Pop Candy links to SMG's photo shoot in Maxim. I'm kind of surprised she did this photo shoot, but whatever. Marginally work safe because there aren't nipples, but not exactly office proper:

Why not in the Buffy/Angel thread? Stuff about Buffy/Angel castmembers generally goes there.

thanks. let me do that.

Just looked at the wording for the proposal. It does not mention adding a link to our site at the WGA page. Did we decide not to do that?
