ADMIN: Locking the comm, the ongoing poll

[virtualinsomnia]

Okay, so as it stands right now, we're quite a bit short of what we'd need help-wise to make it feasible to lock just the adult posts.

Basically, with the amount of help that has been offered, we could assign one year (+ or - a couple of months) to be split amongst the volunteers, which would leave about 3 years to be tackled by kernelm and myself. That's close to twenty months worth of posts each that would need to be gone through, every single post being evaluated on a case-by-case basis. And though I appreciate and even agree that the comm would be better served by only locking the adult stuff, I just don't have the time to go through that many posts by myself, and neither does he.

I'm going to give the poll another day or two, but if things continue to go as they have been, expect me to begin the full lockdown sometime this weekend, or perhaps early next week.

Thanks for all your input, guys! And also, thank you to everyone who volunteered to help. It really means a lot to me, even though it looks like your help probably won't wind up being required.

ETA 08/24/07: We've gotten some more responses in the poll, and the numbers are starting to look better. I'd still like to get a few more helpers if possible, but things are looking up. I'll actually go through and get a more thorough break down of the numbers this weekend and let you guys know how things look.
