Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Bureaucracy 4: Like Job. No, really, just like Job

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Art Crawl!!!

Killing or Unlife.

Question about the Poll: the first part - when you say that nothing should be changed? What is meant by that? We keep only the threads we have? We never add more? Or is it about the administration of the board - we add/delete threads by vote? Or not?

Do you like b.org the way it is and would prefer no major changes? Yes, The board works well enough, now/No, The board needs work.

If you like the way the board runs and don't want to make any changes then vote yes.

If you think there should be some changes (harder to add threads or to propose things or whatever) then you'd vote no.

But it's not about freezing the board the way it is.

Thanks askye, Sean, msbelle, and Hec for drafting the poll. I like. I also like the suggestions people have made.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

When and how will the poll be taken/posted whatever? I'm a little unclear on these things.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am not sure if we will build it on Mr. Poll or what (never made a poll before), but it will be posted all over the board on Monday sometime and it will stay up for a min of 4 days (isn't that the voting time?).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mr. Poll is easy to use, but I don't think "Other" with a text box is possible there. You could do that in Zoomerang, which is free to a certain extent (not sure how many responses/questions/etc.).

Can we leave it up a little longer for the less frequent folk, or those who may be busy? Say a week?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I think surveymonkey.com also allows "other"/text box options and is also free, at least at the basic level.
