random election mulling

[seperis]

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 legomymalfoy and 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: rydra_wong has some comments here on the election and candidates.

I voted the same. But I think we're going to be stuck with jameth *sigh*. He currently has a huge vote lead--partly because he told those who support him to vote for him all three times (which I guess is legal *shrug*).

But this is just the first name. Maybe the majority of jameth's supporters have already voted?

I've learned you can also pick one person for all three options.

*shrugs*

*picks legomymalfoy as a great candidate who is also the only fandom friendly person who's anywhere in the ballpark*

I also voted for legomymalfoy and rm for the same reasons. I think they're currently splitting the fandom vote, which is slightly worrisome, but hopefully fandom_votes will take care of that. (Yes, that's probably overly optimistic. But one can hope, right?)

I've been clicking refresh on the voting too. It's great fun. :) Only a 60 vote difference now!

You've got an extra r in rydra_wong. Also, are you missing a username in the sentence But more important to me; has been recommended by people?

No one has mentioned this for a while (did everyone go to bed?), but legomymalfoy is now 278 votes ahead of jameth now. Hurray for fandom!
