It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Keep in mind that not even a quarter of respondents made any comment at all in that final box.

I was going to say.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't have time to do both, daily--I haven't had time to do either, this past week--and as I feel the need to keep up with folks in whichever thread, I feel compelled to choose. Sometimes it's Natter, sometimes it's Bitches.

Yep, this is me -- I'm caught up reading in both, but I only have time to post in one or the other. Lately I've been lurky in Bitches and active in Natter, but I swing back and forth pretty regularly.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmm. That chart woulda been helpfuller if I'd sorted it. Oh, well. Maybe I'll do that after dinner.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Thank you, Liese.

It's very interesting to me to see that Box Set is #3 in the collective heart.

That coupled with TV Discussionistas and fandom votes gives me a new and useful perspective on Where We Are.

You can see why the Supernatural spinoff vote/discussion was such a flashpoint.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Wow. The poll didn't turn out like I expected. I was especially surprised at the number of lurkers and rare posters.

Thank you so much, msbelle and the poll team! Also, thanks Liese, for the table. I think it's helpful.

Because books.

The poll results are fascinating. Thanks so much to everyone who worked on it. (And to everyone who took it. Great turnout.)

Our wings are not tired.

Haven't digested the results yet, but quite a response. Have we ever had so many people actually vote on a question?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Thank you to everyone who put their time in to this!

What I noticed is the large number of people who surveyed as unsure on any question.

What I find fascinating about that is I wonder if there is a correlation between choosing No Preference and being unsure of the effect of things.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Have we ever had so many people actually vote on a question?

No, I don't believe we have.

What I'm getting from the survey results is that we're pretty evenly split about a lot of things, but the one thing we do agree on is that our way of doing things has been working. Maybe we want to make it harder to create a thread, but even that has a weak majority of interest.

I'm getting the pig!

I wonder if there is a correlation between choosing No Preference and being unsure of the effect of things

Not to start a whole, "I voted this way" or "I voted that way" *thing*, but for me, I haven't been a member of any other online communities and have no idea what the turnout of (possibly) creating a number of tv threads will do to this community. And I could speculate whether or not more tv threads will change my attitude toward (or rather my enjoyment of) b.org, but it all boils down to me being unsure what will happen.

No preference, for me, means that I could pretty much care less either way. Choosing unsure, for me, in this situation, just meant that although I care, I can't predict the future... especially without a similar personal situation to compare it to.
