Meme Birthday! Party Time

Happy Second Birthday Meme! And Happy Birthday to all of the Nonnies! If it were not for the Gentle Failers, this community wouldn't exist.

We have a couple of exciting plans for the next year, little tweaks and upgrades to make the meme experience better. We are even going to resolve the new post issue, so that everyone is not at the mercy of me and what may or may not be my travel schedule.

Thank you to all the nonnies, for making this the best two years of moderating I can imagine.

All the fail_fandomanon Rules: http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/18405.html
The short version: no embeds, don't out people's real names, don't be that much of an asshole, body fluids are off topic, Mods reserve the right to delete the fuck out of stuff. Meme away.

There's something very... Stalinist propaganda about how hard work is the answer in the face of all the technical and logical limitations of the archive. Like, if we just dedicate ourselves hard enough is going to be able to overcome some problems, yes. (However inefficiently.) It is not going to be able to overcome other problems.

Bulldozing your way through, rather than reassessing and trying to find best practices given your resources, seems like a hallmark of OTW management, and it's the reason I continue to refuse to volunteer for them. I don't want to dedicate myself hard enough to something that doesn't use my dedication wisely. No fanfic archive is worthy of my useless martyrdom.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, I fear and love your Stalinist propaganda analogy!

Really (honestly!) I want them to do better and Make Real Change! Implement A Five Year Plan! Get the VolComrades (not my term but that of the VolCom chair) to Induct Many More Recruits More Quickly and Effectively To Fight On All Fronts! Work for Victory from Copyright, Bad Interface, and Server-Problem Oppression!

Wow, maybe all the Archive needs is some cool constructivist-style posters?
