I have a crazy idea. You know how we have those templates that people give out for voting on VFH? How about we start doing the same for VFD. --Sir Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • CUN • Capt.) 01:55, October 11, 2007

I fear, though that would be hilarious, that it could in theory cause some controversy.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

It would at least encourage voting. --Sir Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • CUN • Capt.) 02:07, October 11, 2007

I dunno. Seems a bit harsh to whomever's page we've deleted. Besides, some of you VFD regs might wind up with more templates than you know what to do with! - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 02:08, Oct 11

Well, Lj's just using one major generic VFH thank-you template now. --Sir Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • CUN • Capt.) 02:09, October 11, 2007

Oh, f'god's sake, why does everyone always bring that up. It wasn't me who started that! Sannse has one, as does Weasel3689. Jeez.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually, if you look at them, you can see that all of my thank you templates are pretty much the same as well, I just change the words, the picture, and the colors around a bit. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 03:01, Oct 11

But I don't think their templates yell at you if you stare too long. Unsolicited conversation Extravagant beauty PEEING 03:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

If you really want more votes on VFD, you should whore VFD'd pages on the IRC. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 18:48, Oct 11

What about getting users who don't use IRC to vote? --Sir Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • CUN • Capt.) 21:13, October 11, 2007

Hmm... Maybe telepathic whoring? - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 21:41, Oct 11

If your really that keen on this Starnes, we could probably put a "Vote For VFD" banner on the Main Page, like we did for VFH during the Great Vote Drought Of Yesteryear. -- The Zombiebaron 21:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Or we could have a gidget that pops us a warning: "Sorry you are not allowed to edit content until you vote on VFD. Now crack your buns and get to it." No, not really. That would be a totalitarianly bad idea. ----OEJ 01:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

That, and we should also flash random passages from HTBFANJS at random intervals to make it sink into the unconscious mind of the noob. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 02:05 Oct 12, 2007

For the radical ideas. Sometimes extremes are the only way to get people to figure it out. Fresh Stain Serq Fet of Pokemon (At your service) 05:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I would delete such a template on sight, out of principle. If enough people complained about it being deleted, I'd put it on VFD and I'd be very efficient with getting it deleted after only a very few votes.

At which point I'd put a broken link to the template on my userpage as an award for deleting it. Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 10/13 14:31

I'm pretty sure he meant a userspace template, not one in mainspace. Userspace is our safe zone, you know. We have a force-field. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 14:20, Oct 13
