At some point we need to give it to @Pavlov as a mulligan, but it seems like he ain't ready yet to fulfill the duties of the position. So, who do we stick it to in July?
@mfladd I'd like to fourth this. Starblind is overdue. And @mfladd's point is well taken. Of course if @Starblind does nothing useful (or meaningfully useless or meaninglessly useless--or, hell, whatever is or isn't done) with those domains, it'll be doubly @Starblind's fault.
@mfladd I second this nomination. We need a new goat to blame for the fuko that is way overdue. @Starblind looks like the perfect candidate for this purpose.
@HELLOALICE They have to contribute positively but also screwed up... we argued long and hard one month that a certain shall be nameless person shouldn't get it because, essentially (the short version), of their jerk factor
@HELLOALICE It's always been the people that are, for whatever reason, the people remember from their recent activity. If you want to call it a popularity contest, I guess you can - but it's really about picking someone active who will run with it, rather than drop it on someone random who may or may not post often.
@RedHot Oh f... -ah, goodness, no. Remember that @Pavlov is still on major drugs, and when last heard of he was pranking some poor innocent vegan nutritionist. Wait until he's off drugs and back to his normal self. Wait, that's dangerous too.
@Thumperchick No, you're suppose to come back with something about the K's trying to take over the world was a nasty rumor started by [insert name here].
@Squid_07 I think part of it was the times that it came out. Always fluctuations and not a lot of warning. However I miss them already. I can't wait to see 2.0! I second @JonT
@sohmageek it was an awesomely loose format that once the Offices bandwidth improved would have been great. Just needed some times to grow up like a teenage freshman. Gotta let the child find its voice. Btw I have mad love for you @jont and @hollball . But it's@jont turn as the goat.
I would like to nominate @Starblind for being the winner of @Pavlov's Fuko contest - now proud owner of fukobukuro.com and utsubukuro.com.
I also think it was in the fine print of the contest, that by accepting the prize, the winner would become July Goat.
@mfladd I accept the nom nom nomination and promise that it will be an adventurous month.
@Starblind I know it will be. In all seriousness, I put you up because I find you to be a stabilizing force in our little community.
@mfladd should one win a "prize" because one won another "prize"? these are the questions of our time
@Lotsofgoats that depends on whether or not you see becoming the GOAT a "prize".
@mfladd I agree with this
@mfladd I'd like to fourth this. Starblind is overdue. And @mfladd's point is well taken. Of course if @Starblind does nothing useful (or meaningfully useless or meaninglessly useless--or, hell, whatever is or isn't done) with those domains, it'll be doubly @Starblind's fault.
@mfladd. I guess I'm fifthing this. There has to be some penalty for winning those prizes.
@mfladd I second this nomination. We need a new goat to blame for the fuko that is way overdue. @Starblind looks like the perfect candidate for this purpose.
@connorbush because necromancy
@Lotsofgoats another very good choice.
@Lotsofgoats it shall be a month of communicating with the past in order to catapult into the future!
@Lotsofgoats Can a brother get a link?

he's even doing it on the mediocre forums now
this is what you get for letting his power go unchecked
I nominate @mfladd for being a good person and coordinating the Meh team on Kiva.org
@TaRDy I want to give you a mean stare right now, but I can't - that was nice :)
Since when was becoming goat a reward for being a meh celebrity? I thought it was more or less random. Was it always a popularity contest?
@HELLOALICE I think it's less a popularity contest and more a 'who done fucked up the forums this month' contest.
@brhfl All of the people mentioned in this thread are people who everyone likes, who've contributed positively or frequently. Meh, idk.

i say screw your popularity vote of the none ima go be a freeman
So, it's @Starblind for July then, @JonT?
Really looking forward to a month of literary adventures.
I think we should let @Pavlov choose
@RedHot Oh f... -ah, goodness, no. Remember that @Pavlov is still on major drugs, and when last heard of he was pranking some poor innocent vegan nutritionist. Wait until he's off drugs and back to his normal self. Wait, that's dangerous too.
Blah blah K. Yadda K yadda. Entitled self serving K comment. @thumperchick, your turn to defend the Ks.
@Mehrocco_Mole I've already been goat. October 2014
@Thumperchick No rule you can't be it again...
@Thumperchick No, you're suppose to come back with something about the K's trying to take over the world was a nasty rumor started by [insert name here].
@Mehrocco_Mole I realized that after...
My vote always for @JonT. Who better to blame than him. After all, I usually blame him anyways. And I still fault him for the fall of labstream.
@Squid_07 I think part of it was the times that it came out. Always fluctuations and not a lot of warning. However I miss them already. I can't wait to see 2.0! I second @JonT
