If nobody else does, I'll take the ungrateful duty of alerting us of the elephant in the room :(
You said you wanted more democracy by having the poll on how to spend the money. You blocked the funds with that for 3 months. I am absolutely OK with that and think we should go through with it! :) Now you want to bypass your own democracy by taking a large sum of money and spending it how you please. This opposes your own agenda. Thus please wait for the results of the poll and only suggest a website redesign if people actually want it. Sorry :( I don't enjoy saying this but it's a natural conclusion and thus needs to be said. Especially considering this statement of your own: > When I've raised the subject of a website redesign in the past, the only > voices I heard in response were opposed to it. Something which you have felt lots of opposition against is the last thing you should bypass a poll for. Also, something which matters on personal *taste* is a poll-thing as well: Design preferences are highly personal. Whether a design sucks can only be answered in a poll in the first place. So please, if you want to bypass the poll, do it with something less controversial, and with something which costs a lot less money than $5000 :) Thanks :) -- hopstolive (keyword for Ians spam filter)
