'Objects In Space'
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!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think the crux of my biscuit is that I'm not done talking about Firefly and I want to keep talking about it here
And you can, even if there is no dedicated Firefly thread. No one is saying "After the Firefly thread reaches 10,000, the thread is archived, no new thread is made, and no more Firefly talk anywhere."
Talk about it, by all means. Minearverse, Boxed Set, Natter -- lots of room.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Which is a fine, but actually finding that discussion will be difficult. We've shown recently that people like to be able to quickly find discussion on things, otherwise it gets lost.

Unless Aimee posts otherwise, I'm assuming the text of her proposal is:
Once the current Firefly thread has reached it's 10,000th post, we will discontinue the thread. Firefly discussion will then take place in whatever thread it lands.
Yes
No
No Preference
We need someone to volunteer to count votes. Preferably someone not very vested in the results.

Swouncing
Skimming to the end (I'm still catching up) to post that if there's a need for somebody to count the votes, then I'm volunteering for it.

Thanks, Nilly.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Unless Aimee posts otherwise, I'm assuming the text of her proposal is:
If noone has any other suggestions, then yes. That is the text of my proposal.

Aimee, as ever, I'd argue against having No Preference. I still either people need to choose a preference or not vote if they truly have no opinion.

As ever, I'd argue that if people want to vote no preference, thus putting this issue to rest for six months, then they should be allowed to. If you don't care, don't vote.

I guess, Jon, the thing is, we don't shut up for 6 months. We shut up about a specific thread. But we don't shut up about the underlying disagreement.
For me, Firefly is a prime example. I don't give a shit at all about whether or not there is a Firefly thread, except to say that the way the discussion has played out here really pushes me towards one perspective.
But I do care about the underlying issue of the strum und drang of threads opening and closing. And if only 3 or 15 people vote real votes and the rest vote no preference to shut people up.... well, that doesn't resolve what I see as the underlying issue nor really shut people up.
