What if we allowed anyone in the community to submit a short phrase to put there, vet them for profanity, and rotate 5 random "community submitted" phrases on every page load. It would be even cooler if we put names up there and the phrase were in quotes. <div>
<br></div><div>Am I volunteering to vet phrases? If I must, then I volunteer. I, however, do not have the social contacts necessary to bring this about in the community. The only downside that I can see is that no one really "wins" and we don't have "one phrase." But isn't that the point of what we're trying to accomplish? <div>

lacked substantive discussion should not be due to lack of time. I'm<br>
sure this question will be brought up again and again especially as<br>
the new site comes up, and everybody will have their opinions anyway.<br>
As I've said, I think this will be continued until eternity, it is<br>
definitely easy to have (conflicting) opinions about.<br>

The bug in the redesign tracker was closed because the new slogan had "already been implemented" (cunning!).<br>
