Oh well! I don't really care either way :D
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Dreamer wrote:Liv -- ah, no, I read that wrong. I see what you mean now. My fault for misreading. :) But it's definitely an idea that can be considered later, after a decisions is made for the current poll. Something to bring up at the next YWS reform! At the rate we've been going for this last year, Nate'll probably have a new idea coming in another month or so. ;)

Totally okay :elephant:
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

Fruits Basket totally rocks! If you don't think so, too bad.

Voted. I may not be active currently, but the reason I had for voting against one is the reason I'm not active right now.

Badges.

Do you need a review?

Last day to vote. I'll be closing the poll at 11:59 pm EST (US), January 6.

If the membership chooses badges over ranks, the effect will not be immediate. I'm still adding Instructors and Greeters, and that will continue until I implement the badges, which may not happen for up to a month from now.

Badges. Like Xbox Live Achievements for YWS. People will strive to get more badges by performing better on the site. Just my two cents.

-D
Got YWS? I do.

I think the badges seem cool... there's one for 1001 posts, but what about reviews? Will there ... wait, the gold stars are reviews aren't they? Never mind then AHAHa but yeah I think a change could be cool - new decade, new thing for YWS. Tis only fair.
