It's poll time for a time poll.
This has become kind of annual for me to poke and question about the time flow of Naruta, but this year I have some better ideas than "Slow down or speed up?"
We've had a chance to test out fluid time with the Out of Time forum. While it has become a place that's good for doing retroactive things, it also has become sort of like Thread Limbo, in my opinion. But it's given us a taste for fluid time so I want to propose that as an option.
My main suggestion, however, has more to do with activity. Now, quantifying events is difficult at best, but the only way I can see to really manage it is by checking the amount of threads in the archive. Under this system, time would be based on how many threads have accrued. I would have to eschew a regular changing of seasons--that WOULD have to be a sort of 'fluid, choose when you make your thread' sort of thing.
But basically it'd boil down to about 100 posts = 1 year or whatever amount is agreed upon. This idea can be reworked and tweaked significantly so if you like it but want modifications, still pick the Activity Method since the hammering out of details will go on later only if it's got enough support.
