Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
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!
I'd say months. So, for instance, if we decide not to do something on May 1st and we decide on three months, the discussion could be reopened on August 1st.
Makes the math a lot easier, says the girl who has to give compliance deadlines in days and is tired of counting.
Katie: I agree, I just wanted it to be clear.
42 people is a lot easier to count than 4.2 months, though. To make this as math-free as possible, I think it should be a simple choice between 6 months and whatever the second, inferior choice ends up being.

Dibs on Monkey-Bot!
Y'know, I think I'm going to have to go with the mostly math-free option here. Anything other than an integral number of months will just get confusing.
I'm with four month, rather than three as the alternative.
I woulda pushed for 12. I would like to point out that although the Phoenix may be six months old, the original TT topic dates back six years. But I'm late to the party, so carry on.
I see 3 months as a more logical division of the year than 4, and so would put it on the ballot. I would still vote for the highest number, though, personally.
Yeah - but I think the people who support six should defer to the people who want a lower alternative on what the alternative should be. Four months has a better chance of beating six than three months. And I do think six is too long.
You know what's weird? Is that, as Jess (I think) pointed out, 6 months ago was the site's birth, and that feels like foreverago, but 3 months ago was when mieskie was suspended, and that feels like yesterday.
Not to me.

Wrod.
Ballot:
1) 6 months
2) 4 months
3) fnord
I change my vote to fnord.
Although in a perfect world, that would be whitefonted.
Edit, but seriously, I still think that quarterly or biannually is the best way to go.
So, I'm firm with three/six.
Or some combination, where three for everything BUT new threads, and six for new threads.
