random election mulling

So LJ Advisor Elections:

After reading the comments in my last entry, and reading the ljers who have been mulling about this, I went for [livejournal.com profile] legomymalfoy and [livejournal.com profile] rm (I have no idea who I did third: I think squeaky).

Now I'll show you why.

Platform.

1) What do you think is the value of LJ?

When speaking about value, I feel that the irresistible value of LiveJournal is in its community. We are what makes LJ valuable. The users who post about their day, about their kids, about their last BDSM encounter, about sex and food and everything under the sun. Without its users, LJ is nothing but an empty husk. To continue being valuable, LJ needs to work on retaining existing users by keeping the aspects of the site that are most valuable to them, while at the same time attracting new users by making new features available and taking advantage of new ways of thinking.


More points below that one. Interesting reading. But more important to me; has this person been recommended by people I trust on my flist, the username, and the fact they work Abuse, which means they have some idea what they are talking about.

A complete list of platforms for the people up for election is here.

I hate taking things seriously. Also, may be taking mother to George Michael concert. I--mentioned it? And wow. I've never seen anyone light up that fast.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] rydra_wong has some comments here on the election and candidates.

From what I read, it doesn't help. [livejournal.com profile] penknife (thank God, I was confused on this too) has an explanation.

I'll add that link to my post, thank you. I wondered if those all went into the same bucket or not. They are separate polls....
