I feel like every time I hear something new about these guys my response is just a solid minute of "...seriously?"

Man, where is my reblog button. I would reblog this in a heartbeat. This basically says everything.

Well, that and this. No shit, that entry hit my droll, I was like.... hoooooooly shiiiiiiit. I refrained from saying that in a comment to the entry, but I thought about it.

The organisation seems to be so fundamentally broken. It's not even just bad people (although there's definitely bad leadership at work) but just... a profoundly badly put together organisational structure.

Just a note (in case others are searching) that your tumblr seems to be [tumblr.com profile] branch-and-root and here's the link to the OTW Board Absences post there. [tumblr.com profile] branchandroot doesn't have any visible posts.

Thanks a lot for making these posts!

...Well, that would certainly help explain why there has been NO movement whatsoever on the one damn thing I have been asking about for the past three years. At the wrangler level, we're informed that pretty much every change that would help us out is something that needs to be discussed and approved at the higher levels of the organization, and then we're essentially told to stop talking about said change until we're told what was decided. But it doesn't look like things are getting decided. That's...really frustrating.

Which begs the question of *why* they even wanted to run. Geez...

And yet, at the same time, there's a small pile of fanfic being produced this year...

No, I quite love the fic myself, but fic takes *time* to write (looks at my own pile of unfinished work), and she's got a small pile of other things to do as well. Being a board member should really take precedent. 40-50% absent? Really? That's pathetic.

I want to like AO3, I really do... I like it in theory, I mostly like it in practice, I very much enjoy having it there, and they do good rescue work. But man, they're screwed up on the organization side. Don't vote on a name, vote on actual deeds!
