Time for a Change

Room for more right now. Need another mod or two, for example.

Maybe the new crew sees it different, but early on we avoided allowing threads like this live on past their use-by date. Wikipedia Review Review pretty much drowned out the rest of the noise at the old place (so maybe we were a little quick to the trigger).

Perhaps a non-public/non-googlable navel-gazing forum would be fun. Or maybe it wouldn't. Either way, this thread is starting to smell like old fish.

I think it's important that this thread is public. I'll move it, though, if others agree with you.

I thought others were considering joining and being part of the leadership team?

Who? I agree more are needed.

I thought Greg said he had a friend interested in joining?

An "outsider" in the mod or even administrator ranks would be nice, if possible.

I removed the last few posts in hope of maintaining some harmony.

As long as you can find an outsider who understands the culture on here.

Note to newcomers: Outsider was the name of one of Poetlister's alternate accounts on here in the early days. How auspicious. ;)

Anyone who is interested in learning more about how that resolved itself may privately message me.

Harmony... yes.

If you [those in the Trustee and Admin positions] don't write a blog post every six to eight weeks, you will be asked to resign.

Wow!

So, can someone confirm that the Cohen brothers movie Idiocracy (T-H-L) was the idea behind the name of this site? I'd never seen the movie before joining the forum.

Those are some tough rules, incidentally!

Obviously did not work out, and we all resigned years ago, but Cthulhu refused our resignations.

I really should make an effort at being less of an idiot, personally: obviously Coen and Cohen are not the same. ^^

It is old fish at this point.
