Anytime I go to the Dokuga site it seems like its a pretty tight-knit group of folks.
it is and they're very active in general. they've taken the change well and many of them have stepped up when things were rough. it's just so different; i was drawn into it even though i'm not a sess/kag writer.
Having the nom form in the profile and a constant link to the voting form was very, very handy: no search required.
that's our webmistress, Miss Kagura, she's the brains behind the website :)
but there's no way they can have voting in two places (website + Yahoo)
true; when we switched to the website we left the yahoo group open to collect nominations and votes. the website activity far outweighed what came out of the group. after that it was no contest, the group was out, and we made a clean break away from yahoo.
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.
yeah, it's pretty ugly sometimes, especially toward the end of 2005. as i recall there were major problems with the lead moderator at that time. when the older people complain about mods stepping over the line it pretty much comes back to those episodes.
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.
i put a lot of effort into the group (one of the reasons why i resit leaving it comepletely) and for the most part rl issues don't knock me out like it does others. i don't have kids to take care of, and stuff like that. i know a couple of the mods had serious rl issues. i got to say the job is a major drain; i had to leave 'cause it was dominating too much of my life and, yeah, i get tired of dealing with the same bs :/
