But that was before the election. He'll have more time after the election. At least that's my hope.
That seems like wishful thinking. The election was keeping him so busy way back in May that he didn't reply to any of Nym's six emails, even though Nym is his handpicked Atlas overlord?
I think perhaps we just need to change strategies for getting ahold of him. He said some time ago that the best way to reach him was via email, but clearly that's not working. Maybe it would be better to just start a thread on the Atlas board, since he's clearly reading at least some of the threads there? Start a thread about making Torie a mod, and then start another one about whatever other moderation-related reforms you want to make?
It would probably actually make more sense to do that before the election, since after the election he might forget about the site completely for a while.
