OK, I think three months is just right. (Note: I'm not sure this will remain my opinion, but I'll spin it out a little.) It's the half-life of the board. If, at this point, we had discussed a single issue two times, for a week each, that seems OK. My birthday was three months ago, and that was forever ago! Time FLIES.
Also? Shit doesn't HAVE to be revisited.
3 Months. It's a more natural division of time.
Clarification: 3 months should be on the ballot, vs. 4 months. My previous post should not be read as an endorsement of the "3 Months" party. Equally, this post should not be read as an endorsement of the "6 Months" party.
All posts should be read as an endorsement of "Monkey".
Tom-- I sort of agree with you about the forming of the ballot with the campaigning-- except if we didn't do this, we would never get to voting. Please believe me on this!
I am ready to whup some monkey ass.
Don't get me started.
The closed discussion period should be:
1) 6 hours
2) 6 months
3) 6 monkeys
That's the problem. You let monkeys onto the ballot and suddenly everybody goes monkey-crazy!
Oh, they're so cute! Oh, they're so helpful! Oh, they're so funny!
Before you know it, the board has been renamed "Monkey", all the threads are called "Monkey", everybody has to post under Monkey-related names, like "Monkey-Luvva" and we're only allowed to discuss Mutant Enemy shows that have monkeys in them.
Well, I say that monkeys are just a bunch of poop flinging trouble makers.
