Yes.
ETA: There was at least one proposal withdrawn. Too lazy to find it.

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!

Yes, a proposal was withdrawn. Who wants to Nilly?

In an environment without sound, a lot of the way we judge tone of a post is by the personality of the poster. Words posted by an oldtimer we know may be taken one way, and verbatim words posted by a newbie may be taken completely differently. It really is all relative.
Nicely stated, Wolfram. I agree with this.
I also dislike sockpuppets and would love for them to go away.

Have we EVER opened Lightbulbs without ultimately voting?
Once, I think. Pulled for lack of real interest.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Have we EVER opened Lightbulbs without ultimately voting?
I think so, but I can't remember on what.

Yes, once. I think.
We don't have to vote, you know.
Ah, I'm just posting to hear the sound of my own keyboard at this point....
Also, it should be noted that my comment about too much input even holds true for me. Sometimes even I don't have anything helpful to add to a discussion.
Yes, you may all drop your mouths open in shock now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clovis, Ferrets, Zombies, and God have been here as long as I have.
ND, God showed up after you did. Clovis showed up after that. Zombie Robots way after that.
Not that I think them having been around longer than you makes a difference to how I feel about them. Just that your facts are off.

Was there any sock-puppetry prior to the Phoenix?

Okay. It's felt like they've been here as long as I have. I didn't check numbers on them. They've been kicking around at least a year if not longer, correct?

If I only had a brain...
Have we EVER opened Lightbulbs without ultimately voting?
Yip. I made a proposal and withdrew it; I think it was starting a general TV thread, although I could be misremembering.
