Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
I think Jon and DX know how to set up the vote thing. Above my skill set. But I can send an admin email asking that it happen tonight.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Jon's on top of it.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Ugh just spotted this. Don't know what to say except I was there the first time PC posted about following a girl. Was not there the 2nd time, but really should have set up my hackles more than it did. I apologize for not having spotted him.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Thread opened for discussion of Jessica's proposal. Please let Jessica post first.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Dangit, that's what I get for going to bed early last night. Here we go:
The possibility was raised in the Jossverse and Buffy threads that a BtVS reboot could bring in our first real influx of new members since Firefly premiered. I agree with Plei that a huge increase in active members is unlikely (we don't even allow inline gifs!), we might want to consider updating the "About this site" language to make it clear who we are.
Proposal: Update the "About Us" section and registration page to better represent who we are today, a close-knit community of friends, to set appropriate expectations for new members who may come to us seeking pure fandom.
Current text:
Welcome to Buffistas.org. This site is the online home of the Buffistas, a worldwide community of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly fans.
Proposed new text:
Welcome to Buffistas.org. This site is the online home of the Buffistas, a worldwide community of friends, brought together twenty years ago by our shared love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly.
Basically something that says right off the bat, "we started out as a fansite but now it's just a bunch of people who sometimes use Buffy references instead of regular words".
