Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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!
Katie - I rarely read Natter. I can't keep up with it. If all those subcommunities you suggest roll into Natter, I won't be able to participate in any of it. And it's all about me.
Yeah, I know - I was just writing stuff out to see it on the page and understand it better. That's why I wanted to point out the ones that had active communities, because if we dumped those we'd lose people (like you). Trust me, I'm not making a proposal.
Wow, Kat, thank you for proposing this and following through the discussion, etc. I think that list looks good. What I like best is the idea that each item is voted on separately. It is quite possible that some, but not all, the items will pass. This way, each is viewed on its own.
As worded, I'm pro-everything, though I think Plei's point about WIPs in Bitchy Fic is a good one.
Yeah, if the rider of archiving/renaming BF is attached, I'm likely to vote no. Following something novel-length over five months is hard enough as it is, but other than that, I'm pretty much pro.
Thanks for clarifying Katie. I hope I didn't sound like I was jumping on you.
Wow, thanks for putting that together Kat. I skipped a few hundred posts and skipped to recent to see what was up. I think I would feel more comfortable voting on the thread issues that involve threads I participate in and abstaining on the threads I never visit.
Jumping in late to ask if we are voting on this stuff anytime soon because there are quite a few points to consider here.
Most of the consolidations make sense to me. In particular #5 is a no-brainer and should take place immediately.
Thanks for clarifying Katie. I hope I didn't sound like I was jumping on you.
Nah. I just figure that when it comes to bureaucratic discussions clarity all-round is a good thing.
Good ballot.
The only part I don't like is closing them all and archiving. It makes more sense to my brain to just close and archive PPO, and perhaps change Bitchy Fic's title to Buffista Fic.
This. If we can change the name, and close and archive PPO and Anthology (?) I think it would be more sensible.
The only change I'd request is sneaking in the Ikea thread name for due South/Smallville.
Due South/Smallville/IKEA/Farscape sounds good to me. :)
Due South/Smallville/IKEA/Farscape/ would be hilarious.
