I wanted to post somewhere and this seems the best place to do so that I no longer need any questions for the candidate debate. We've got a great range of queries. What we need now is for all candidates to participate and then get members to actually read the threads. The view count is depressingly low.

I'm reading and trying to figure out who I'm going to vote for now that I don't have to waste a vote on me.

Obvious bribes discouraged, although creativity is much appreciated.

In all seriousness, I look forward to working with some of you for the first time and perhaps some of you for another year.

This is sad. I checked all available archives, and current is all time low. By far.

Well I guess my 100 girls strong cheerleader band will do it then. No need for more campaigning

Funny, I checked the view count just today and also noticed that.

I think we need more controversy.

No controversy = boring.

Sad, but I can't say I am surprised by the low view count.

Good to see some good questions for this year's election. However, after I read the responses for the first 10 questions, I don't think I want to spend or waste any more time reading.

Let's face facts -- when TalkBoard is limited to establishing forums and deciding its own internal matters not too many members get excited about it.

Actually, it's very much a sign that the vast majority of FTers are very happy with the site. ^

People will consider it a sign of whatever best matches their own thoughts / biases.

Myself, I have a little higher regard for folks than that.

I think the things we would like to change cannot be changed by talkboard.

They can't even be discussed in specific detail.

No need. We now have a responsive and engaged Community Director and IB staff members. They're always open to suggestions.

The satisfaction with the site has never been higher.
