not bad for what ought to be a small group of fans.
Apparently - for good or bad - Sess/Kag is where all the fangirlies are running, LOL. I won't complain ~ I love the contest group here, and its quite busy. Anytime I go to the Dokuga site it seems like its a pretty tight-knit group of folks. I'm not surprised voting went so well the last time around. Having the nom form in the profile and a constant link to the voting form was very, very handy: no search required.
(restricting by ip, which is what we do - we monitor how many times an ip can vote - it's must safer than yahoo's user/login system.)
I'm encouraged that they are looking into voting from the website, but there's no way they can have voting in two places (website + Yahoo) and not have issues with it. They need to choose, one or the other. I'd hope they'd move with the times, but it seems suspect, as you say.
nothing that's been said since December is new, by the way, and, jeez, i felt like i was fighting the same old battles again :/
Indeed! I'm probably one of the few "newbies" who's actually gone back and read the archived messages (cuz I'm a big nerd like that) and I see that the guild has struggled with its existence for most of its lifespan. Unfortunately, it seem the people who took over after you stepped down as head mod have some issues with regards to running the list as efficiently as you did. The tighter they squeeze their hold, the more resistant they are to suggestions of change, the faster the guild is going to die. *shrug* Just my opinion, of course.
I don't know what they'd do without you. Seriously. I'm surprised you're still hanging on, even if it is by a thread!
