Moderator checking in, admin stuff, blah blah, yadda yadda...
I apologize for my absence...a combo of real life stuff pulled me away from the community for the tail-end of our LJ Spotlight, and I've been neglecting a bunch of emails that I got regarding tags.
For those of you who commented around and sent emails requesting tags, please note that I've added the following:
academic
adventure
anthropology
around the world in 100 books
computers
cultural studies
history
military
paranormal
politics
religious studies
scholarly
science
technology
After I hit post here, I'm going to add this thread in the links sidebar for future tag requests, just so that they're easy to find. You can also continue to send email to the address listed in the community profile, and I'll try to add in a timely manner (provided I agree with the requested tag's usefulness! :D)
In other news, I got an email from a member complaining that her answers from the best books poll weren't represented. I realize that I didn't announce an official cutoff date/time for the poll, and I basically just chose a point when I thought there were enough responses that additional responses wouldn't materially affect the results and went with it. However...I also realize that because of the enormous volume of posts during the LJ Spotlight period, there were a lot of people who didn't realize that the poll was going on, in spite of my posting about it just about every day (and a few times, more than once a day).
So, with that said...if you guys are interested in having a second go at voting in the poll, I would be happy to pull additional responses into the totals and re-post the updated results. Here's the poll entry. I will try to post about this once a day for ONE MORE WEEK, to give anyone who hasn't had a chance to vote to go and do so.
Anything else going on that I should know about? :)
