in reply to Why did people vote for this?

I didn't vote up the original post because bladx didn't seem to have a firm idea of how the site was run and what vroom's role really was. However, I did the same thing that tye did and scanned for gist rather than details. After rereading it, I do think the tone is demanding and with bladex's rather new status, rather presumptuous.

I think the idea wasn't that bad, but needed a dose of reality. I think a better way to help vroom maintain and improve the site is needed, but I think vroom is the best equiped to figure out how others can help. As the site grows, it's a lot for one person to handle.

As for the $$$ needed. It's on my list for when I've got an actual income.

    I also didn't upvote the post for the same reasons.

    I did add an idea to the thread regarding symbolic ways that people with ideas and itchy fingers could help. It would also be useful to hear back from long-standing community members about how perlmonks has dealt with 'community relations' in the past. I have not gotten a sense, in my brief time here, how vroom feels about the random suggestions and appeals from the masses but I imagine he's become a bit hardened to the "we must do this" tone of a lot of them.
