I think press is good for something time limited. An event, a special sale (don't know if the latter is appropriate in press - 10% off on photo editing is starting to get awfully spammy). But if one has or is part of a business or non-profit, that is there after the sale ends. Just like other buffista sites, I think the existence of business or non-profit one owns or is an important part of is appropriate for a permanent list.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

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!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Voting will start tomorrow night. We'll need someone to volunteer as the vote counter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't have a strong preference one way or another so I could count the votes but I haven't done it before. Is it hard?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What I do when I am the counter is set up a filter in gmail for the subject line for Y and N and then gmail sort of counts for me (although I double check). Other than that, you just have to check your email in case someone messed up. The important part to remember is hat we have to have a quorum of 42 people voting for it to pass. (I think that is the right number)

It's easy, Laga. When someone votes, an email is automatically sent to you. The direction they vote is in the subject line so you don't even need to open the emails if you don't want to! Plus, like Sophia says, you could set up an email filter to count the votes for you.

Wait: are we voting on the proposal as-is, or are we voting for a business thread with an affiliate link, or other?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
my understanding is that there are two things on the table now: a biz thread and expanding the affiliate links page.
votes can go to lagarat at gmail.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Erin, as the original proposer, you get to word the final proposal however you want: you can either leave it as originally proposed, or make any chages you want it based on the discussion we had. In particular, you can have a vote on thread-only, or include a recommendation that we add a new section to the links page for buffista biz.
You can also propose a thread name now, or leave it TBD.
