You mean the idea for the ghetto? Jeez I wonder why that got scrapped?
I encourage some vote trading amongst the yes/no’s for Wookie/keed and the no/yes’s for Wookie keed so they both pass.

I started championing that idea when JT and microbet and a few other I value a lot took a two week ban on the way to a permaban. I thought moving that idea forward would help convince them to stay, which I really wanted because I thought further subdividing of this forum isn’t sustainable (I still do). When they came off their temp bans the support for the proposal I made in their absence was lukewarm in “our” camp and then we abandoned it. I appreciate your effort, understand why you might have negative feelings towards me about that project, and apologize for wasting your time.

Keeed was lost, and is found.

I thought that was pretty funny, even if nobody else did.
I dunno if anyone hasn’t read this who needs to, but I think that will explain a couple of my votes. I voted against Wookie and for Keeed. Keeed has certainly annoyed me in the past, but I’ve also seen the sincere side of him, so I think he means it when he says he’ll do his best to be a fair mod. I don’t think in a vacuum Wookie would be a bad mod (despite disagreeing with a couple of his stances), but we’re not in a vacuum; this place has a history. I think because of that history, these two votes would be a step toward extending an olive branch to try to repair the divide in the forum. (To the extent people want to do that.)
And I voted against SuperUberBob because he made it clear more than once he didn’t want the job.

I could change my Wookie “no” to a Keed “no” if that helps?
Current vote counts
Wookie 78 yes 41 no
Keeed 80 yes 42 no
Polls close in roughly 4 1/2 hours
Not paying any attention anymore to the drama but voted yes to all.

Don’t think keeed in and wookie out on the number ideal either.

Updated with the totals after clovis’s votes. Since this appears to be a close situation we’ll also be subtracting 1 Wookie yes and 1 Keeed no from the MikeLovesCorgis account that was created yesterday solely to cast those votes.

It got scrapped because you guys care more about drama than helping the forum succeed.
@moderators - Do we want to do this here? I mentioned the ghetto comment because I thought it was fair to remind people of wookie’s role in the failure of the new sub-forum when Keeed was being questioned about it while they are both running for mod. I’m happy to hash it out again since it seems that’s what alex wants to do. But just take a note that I mentioned something which actually happened in context to the current discussion. While alex is just making shit up and attacking the poster and not the post. And of course he’s totally trying to avoid drama because he hates it even though he keeps finding himself in the middle of it.
I had forgotten about this aspect of it so I unhid your post.
I don’t think we need to use this thread to relitigate the alternate forum proposal, which I believe was made in good faith and not to create drama. Sometimes ideas just run out of steam in the face of adversity.

Voted no to all because I wouldn’t wish the job on anyone.

How many times have you been asked to stop dredging this up?
Take it to about moderation. I just reached a gentlemen’s agreement with otatop not to discuss it here.
Looking like Wookie will fail by the slimmest of margins and Keeed will basically depend on the recount.
Oh man, Keed short by exactly one vote.
Are you counting the no vote that the mod team already confirmed they are removing?
