LOL... maybe a staff member could put a notice on the forum... like under then banner saying "Please vote for the Summer Member Representative" and the link or something.  I think it could work...

Whoever voted for me... THANK YOU!

I vote giggles...
"Some dont believe he ever existed, but that isnt true. He was here, and he was real. The real question is what was he, and why was he here. Many rumors speculate as to what he was. Some believe he was some kind of demon worm creature who would pose as a librarian. Others believed he was an angel sent to spread the word of god. The truth is, I dont know what he was. All I know is what he taught me. Love, friendship, and what it means to truly live. Some call him a monster, something children are terrified by. I only know him by what he called himself. Weird 4." - nicest comment ever!

As for the tie-breaker, remember that there will be finals after this, so the top two face off rather than going with one person based on these results.

I think that's a FW job, but it'd be useful.

I'm gonna put a plug in for myself. I've been one of the most active members on this forum of late. So I can say with a fair degree of confidence that I would be active in the memeber representative capacity. I would work with the other staff members to fulfill the member representative role to the best of my abilities. I would express my opinions, but would respect the opinions of the other staff members as well.

Hopefully I will get some votes from someone other than myself.

We still have almost a full day tomorrow for more votes.  I'm almost thinking of extended a couple just for those who might come on at night.  Not likely to be a factor, but it seems to be a better time to end it.

I think it would be a good idea to require the member representative to be someone new. So that it doesn't wind up being fhfreak every time, especially when so few people other than those running actually vote (the votes of those running cancel each other out).

It's also really annoying for me that none of the staff get to vote. It seems I have great rapport with some of the staff, but little or no rapport with any of the other members.

The whole point of the Member Reperesenative is that the common member get's to have someone they want in staff. It was originally started because the staff felt way out of touch with members opinions. That is why only members can vote.

Don't forget that we're likely to appoint a new moderator at some point for corndog's replacement.  The member rep is there for the members, so that's why the rules stand the way they are.  But regular moderators are pretty much staff decisions now anyways.

Does Fishy and BL know about it?  Because I know BL is gone and Fishy was on earlier today, but I don't know if she noticed that Corndog left.  I think they should know if they don't.

Both BL and FW are aware of corndog's loss of position.   We discussed it a bit in the Mods section.  Although we could probably handle the workload as is, I still think we'd prefer to have two regular mods.

We have the same deal as presidents, no more than 2 terms in a row  ;)

I probably won't vote in this poll, its just so hard to choose and I guess I don't really care who wins.

It should be no more than two terms total not just in a row.
