We voted to get rid of the "No Preference" option: Nilly "Sunnydale Press" May 22, 2008 11:51:26 pm PDT
Note that the vote itself included a "No Preference" option. I love us so much.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Thank you for propping up my swiss-cheese memory! Dang, I totally forgot about that vote.

Yeah, I'd forgotten it too. At the time, I remember feeling somewhat passionately in favor of Only Vote If You Actually Care, but now that I look back, I (a) never contributed to the discussion at the time and (b) totally forgot about the whole thing until you scratched my memory and I said "huh, we DID have a no preference at some point!"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I know we've had this discussion before. I must also apologize for my Sam Beckett memory. Would someone please tell me again what percentage of active posters is 42?

Define "active"!

(Seriously. We had that discussion during our painful constitutional birthing period, decided that we'd never agree on most-recent-posting vs post-frequency vs posts-in-which-threads vs ..., and 42 is an awesome number and the meaning of life the universe and everything. Hey, don't we have a cheesebutt...?)

OK, how about, total registered 'ffistas? My wee (and pretty much moot) point is that 42 is a small number.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And the 42 came about magically -- people could just enter any number and we took the mean.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Voting Buffistas is probably a more meaningful number. Most of the registered members don't read, probably, much less participate in the constitutional process even by conscious abstention.

And yes, it is a small number.
