I was going to say January -- post-holiday blahs and boredom, new year, etc.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I say October.

I like October. It's a nice low key month when it's not the holidays, not just getting over the holidays, not just getting back into school, not during the summer doldrums, etc, all the things that distract people from posting or following along. And sort of a lead in to the holiday (and television!) season, so a good time for people to dive in.
And also because it's now!

That's what I was thinking when you both said October!

Could you put the month in your proposal, ita?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Official wording so far:
I propose October as an annual delurking and locating thread where everyone is encouraged to stop by, lurkers and regular posters alike, and say a little bit about themselves so we can learn about the people we don't post with, or the people who read but don't post. Also, people are encouraged in that month to enter or update the location field in their profile, with the note that they can be as vague as their country or as specific as their street address, with the options inbetween of state, province, zip code, city, and the like--whatever feels comfortable.

OK. Deep breath. Delurking to ask where I should put in my vote for the delurking thread.

Hello, SolangeK!
Look for a post in Press very soon. There will be a link to a voting poll, and that's where you can cast your vote.

Hey, SolangeK! Glad to see you! And voting, too!
Also, what P-C said. ::nods::
