ita, given that there's a group of people who have volunteered to help with the code, I think a top priority ought to be for us to figure out a way that they can do that, rather than you having to feel bad about not having time.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I am thinking of putting Google Ads on the wiki. I will only do it if it is clear that proceeds go elsewhere. It seem like the Buffista Fund For Impulsive Gestures might be a worthy cause. (In recognition for the b.org sweat-and-tears that have gone into it) How would that work? Does the community want it?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Uh, not sure if my Press posts are dipping a toe in Natter. No offense taken over deletia.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really like the idea of a Buffista Fund for Impulsive Gestures. I mean, right now I'm sitting on many months' worth of server fees, thanks to generous Buffistas (have I mentioned how much y'all rock? And I'm especially looking at a couple of you lurkers), so people with extra cash on hand today could throw it in the BFIG instead. But I'm not going to coordinate it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if your personal preferences are anti-proliferation, then all of your reasons are *not* hosting based,
My personal preferences are for what's good for the board. Which is hosting related.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh not! Not the return of the Great Proliferation Debate!
Can I propose that we start a thread for any and all contentious debates that tend to recur in Bureaucracy?
The Debate Team thread. Want to discuss proliferation, voting procedures, and provide purposely provocative definitions of censorship? This is the thread for you!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Could be worse. We could be talking about preferential voting.
Which, you know, has not been a major topic since like last April, so some topics, at least, we can leave be for extended periods of time. Go us!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee! My preferential is to not voting! Deproliferate 4evah!
Anyway, I think we all want to prolong the board's useful life. We just disagree on what will or will not do that.
