SpPanda wants back in. Should we let him?

Cat, your sig is too large. It's 20 pixels too tall.

thanx, I didn't know that.

[kthulhu]

jesus christ, just let him back already

I agree.

The problem is that "certain people" are beating around the bush on this. Out of the votes cast, there are almost three times as many pro-Panda votes as there are anti-Panda votes. The neutral votes can't be counted for anything conclusive - they just mean people don't really care either way if he comes back, or they are just goofing off (in the case of pie votes).

Obviously, 61 people (most of whom are probably regulars AND know who Panda is, and are probably the ones who will be most affected by his return) want him back, as opposed to 23 who don't, and 45 who don't seem to care.

The "129 out of 90,000" is a sorry copout. 98% of the Org members don't even have a post to their name, 1% have one, and the other 1% are the regulars and big names. Not to be an elitist, but the majority of that last 1% that have any major sway on the forum has spoken, and they want Panda back.

So Phade, you've written the check, how do you intend to cash it? It's a rock and a hard place, I know, having to choose between flim flam and looking weak, or making a conclusive statement (especially against Panda, as I suspect you're considering) and looking like a jackass. That's life, and you forfeited whatever neutrality you had when you made this thread.

We need something conclusive.

A simple yes or no question:

Is SpPANDA going to be allowed to come back?

Mark, that was a most excellent post.

The choosing possiblity of "I like pie" only brought out the people who wanted to show off and act cool. Without this option, the vote would've been more evened out. A simple section of "Yes, No, Neutral." would've been eaisier. Phade is testing how much we really would rather "goof off and look cool" than have a serious vote. So Phade has just proven that a serious critical topic could never exsist to it's full extent on the forums.

I'd contest that. There are almost as many pro-Panda votes, alone, as there are votes of other types, combined.

So either Phade is yanking our chains (which I doubt), or he's trying to be democratic (and probably recoiling at the realization of what's he done).

Anyhow, I wish we could get some closure and finish this thread.

I agree, this thread has reached it's end. The people have spoken.

I agree.. This thread has concluded that 25% of AMVers indeed like pie. Action must be taken, pie must be shipped. 8)

hey, thanks for fucking up the powerfull silence we had going on there

I don't think anyone should popst here again, unless your name is Phade.

my two cents, this thread is dead, and awaiting Phades decision.
