Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People! Content! Content! Content!

And in the service of illustrating potential lurkers, here's a nation breakdown of June visitors:

That's an impressive list.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

here's a nation breakdown of June visitors:

For curiosity's sake of the tech challenged, how are those locations arrived at? IP addresses?

UAE. Qatar. It is to laugh.

Yup ... tracing back IPs to nationalities.

So far this month (and this really blows my mind) besides the US, it says:

  • Canada
  • Israel
  • United Kingdom
  • Australia
  • Switzerland
  • Netherlands
  • Japan
  • Germany
  • Spain
  • Austria
  • Hong Kong
  • New Zealand (Aotearoa)

Niue?

I just learned something.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

UAE. Qatar. It is to laugh.

I was thinking that the stompies would now probably be subject to arrest if we ever actually went to one of those countries, given some of the laws about content they have over there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The last vote I counted, I think about 5 lurkers voted. And I think I knew some of them from former TT days and others because they donated money for the Pheonix. So I think those voters are invested but shy. I see no way to cut out random lurkers who want to take over Buffistas (which I don't think would happen-- I think asshats would post) without cutting out those people who I think are just shy or busy (think of katefate, too busy to post).

What bothers me is that there are many Buffistas that were so frustated with the process we went to to get to the vote, or the fact that we vote, that they won't vote. It was sort of what made me want to go into a room by myself and come up with the perfect system, because the discussion bothered people so much.
