That pink is icky, Erica. >:o It's like Jeff's armor, super gay and flamboyant.

Elections would be fun, but too many people are too stubborn/negative about it. ]:

Eh..point out those people in this short-discussion of the topic. XD I don't see why we wouldn't be able to bring it back. Without staff running, it really isn't a popularity contest, and puts everyone (except those known to stick to only battling and/or hacking) on equal footing.

As of right now, it seems like everyone is for it. ^_^ All we need is a little push in the right direction, more good attitudes, and a plan of action.
 
Ausaudriel said:
But... it IS a popularity contest. XD That isn't the debate. The debate is basically "why does PC need another popularity contest we already have MOTM blahblabh whine whine." x(

Trueeee, haha. Well, if enough people *were* against it, then I guess we don't have to try for it.

But again, those people, as of right now, seem few and far in between.

Different people win MotM all the time, though, so I don't know.

Because PC is a popular forum.

Also true. lawl. XD
 
I think it's a sexy idea.

And to all the people that would wine about it being a popularity contest, we make a sub-forum for them to whine in.
"Whiner's Corner"

xD

Well, to be fair, you are limiting that observation to a fairly small percentage of the forum's population. If another thread was created about it, the response would probably differ a bit more.

Perhaps, but I'd say a large majority enjoy it either way. And although I know PC hasn't been known to be a full democracy in the past on things, where it's either yay or nay, maybe there should be a vote on whether or not the community would enjoy having it back. That would clear up the dust on why specifically people wouldn't want to hold it.

In my honest opinion, if you're against a PC election, you'd pretty much be against the establishment of anything 'new' and 'unique' into this forum. I mean, we can't talk about cake 10,000 times in the DCC, it gets repetitive XD And each section of the forum goes through it's lulls and rollercoasters of activity (Roleplays, battling, graphic art, etc.) so something fun and involvement might shake the place up a bit.

I'm in favor of having a vote on Presidency. Or at least have the staff go vote on it. XD Just as long as, if it's denied, better explanations are provided as to why, rather then just letting the topic be pushed to the back of our brains.

Only the manliest men like pink, seriously. :|

I supported bringing it back. :( I think it'd help get some positive social activity started up again.

Pink is only gay when Jeff wears it. :]

.. actually, any color Jeff wears instantly becomes gay. XD;

Also, time to bump the presidency thread! :D *woosh*

YAY AUDY. <3 Haha.

Yes it surprises me that there hasn't been the 50 millionth yet.

I meant that a separate thread would be more likely to attract attention from members, including that of the nay-sayers, than a few posts in a thread this long.

If a majority found the idea to be acceptable, would it not already be back in place? Indeed, many more members have joined since then, and the vote might change because of that. However, have many of the older members had a change of heart regarding the issue? ...All that I am saying here is that getting one's hopes up based mostly on the responses of a small group of users, only a few of whom happen to be staff, is not exactly realistic.

I believe that Ausaudriel already summarized the general argument against it: it would only amount to another popularity contest, which some people believe is covered in the Member of the Month.

...Since when is cake repetitive!?

Dude, if this come through (Which, I really hope it will), I have a great idea for my campaign posters. xD

Haha, I'd totally help your campaign, Limey, you'd be a great Pres. Perhaps nominations would also be a good idea. trying not to get excited/ahead of myself

EDIT: Who made that sexy DCC title just now, because you're my hero.

You could be my campaign manager xD
I think nominations would be good too.

Indeed, this DCC title is very sexy.
 
Whoa, new title for the DCC again? It might even attract people like my dad X_X (he's a Superman fan, so...)

Random fact: Pink used to be considered a color for boys 'til the 1920s...

And who says it still can't be considered one for them? =D Then they can say blue is a color for girls =D

If I ever have a baby, I'm getting pink stuff if it's a guy and blue stuff if it's a girl. And I'll probably make the boy play with Barbies *kidding; I'm not that cruel X_X* and I'd keep the girl away from them (but I'll let both touch dolls and plushies :3).

And I could help with the campaign, I suppose~
 
I guess I'd be for a PC election, though ironically enough, I am an Anarchist who thinks all forms of government are pointless. However, I think it could be fun. ^_^

I want to be the first Pokemon ever elected to Parliament. :D

Though of course, I have to bring up the point that not everything that the majority of members want around will be coming. Take clans in the battle thread, for example. While a good number of people were for them(and I myself was in the middle of designing one when they were banned), they were ultimately rejected because they caused too much spam, and thus too much work for the mods than was necessary. If an PC election ends up too spammy as Clans ultimately ended up, it'll most likely receive the same fate.
 
I would love to see who would be interested in my endorsement. XD;
