I thought we were going to put a "Fans support the writers" image next to (or maybe at the top of the sidebar - whatever's easiest for Jon) our logo, not replace the one we have now.
Oh, and here's an idea - why not have the signpost image also be a link to Minearverse, so people who only come here for strike talk (if there are any) can click on the strike graphic and go directly to the thread where the talk is happening?
It can either be a box on the left or right side like Whedonesque:

Or can go next to the header.
It's so not a stretch (hi, connie) to imagine that Buffistas mightn't support anything en masse that I'm not sure why the people who want there to be no or truncated voting either don't think so or don't care.
Sure, connie would probably get outvoted. But I want her to have a chance to participate in our procedure and have her vote. Similarly for everyone who might not have the steel to speak up in the face of all this support.
In the end I think that we are important, and we should respect that, and the vote is part of it.
And not to discount our own importance, there's nothing this board does that would be an actual emergency. I mean seriously. It's not like we're voting to close down Gitmo or whatever.

Seconded
(don't hit me, I know it's just a lovely dream, on top of being natter)

I feel like we're too entrenched in process, and get itchy when we're (to my mind) needlessly bureaucratic. It makes me sad that what is essentially a fairly joyful act has to be so orderly (i.e. a group largely made up of writers groupies has to vote whether or not to support the writers). That's my problem. connie's post moots my point.
I hope I'm now done editing that last post. Sheeesh, my typing sucks.

Oooh, oooh! What if it replaces the random quote generator in the upper right? 'Cause, y'know, we wouldn't have the quotes without the writers!
