2011-06-13 [windowframe]: BORED NOW. Your turn. <_<

2011-06-15 [iippo]: Looks good over here.

2011-06-15 [windowframe]: Anything else you can think of?

2011-06-15 [iippo]: Not right now. It's looking good and clear to me. :)

2011-06-16 [windowframe]: Hmmm: should we include the Main Street poll here?

2011-06-16 [Akayume]: Great first comments guys. :3

2011-06-16 [windowframe]: We're win like that. :P

2011-06-16 [Akayume]: And if I may chirp in, you should include something about the polls since we recently(-ish?) starting giving out badges for featured polls.

2011-06-16 [windowframe]: YOu did see me asking about that, right? <_<

2011-06-16 [Akayume]: Yes. I was responding. :3 "should we include the Main Street poll here?" "Yes."

2011-06-16 [windowframe]: It was the lack of a 'yes' that confused me. :P

2011-06-16 [Linderel]: Forum, x, or y xD

2011-06-16 [windowframe]: Fixed. :P

2011-06-16 [Lord Josmar]: *Deleted*

2011-06-16 [windowframe]: ...What link? (I added one for you :P)

2011-06-16 [Lord Josmar]: I recend my comment after further investigation.

2011-06-16 [Chimes]: It's not a link. :) It's just text.

2011-06-16 [Lord Josmar]: Yea I realized that shortly after I posted the comment. I was thinking of the suggest a poll wiki.

2011-06-18 [Chel.]: This page is an awesome idea!

2011-06-18 [iippo]: Uh oh Silb, the moocow badge goes under the left bar.

2011-06-18 [windowframe]: Fix0red.

2011-07-18 [Artsieladie]: Umm... under "Who Can't Be Featured?", second paragraph, the link: Featured Image Boss goes to an empty page. ;)

2011-07-18 [Linderel]: The featured story badge that was up was the misspelled version. Fixed. :P Also fixed the wiki link.

2011-07-18 [windowframe]: Hrm. That means the misspelled version is somewhere else, too. But I can't remember where I got the link from. :/ *searches*

2011-10-04 [Lord Josmar]: Yay for faster featured art!

2011-10-04 [Nioniel]:  :D

2011-10-04 [Lord Josmar]: Still haven't submitted anything worthy yet, but I'm working on it! Lol.

2013-02-06 [Stephen]: The Council cannot be featured on the Featured Member.

Why?

2013-02-06 [windowframe]: We already get enough attention. :P

2013-11-30 [hanhepi]: I changed the bit where it said the MS Poll got updated weekly. "Randomly" is a much more accurate way to describe the update rate.

2013-12-22 [Stephen]: *remembered this page existed due to [hanhepi]'s update*

I believe the Council should be able to be a Featured Member, just on the same one-in-five rate as the other Features. While the Council does get more attention, that's no reason to exclude them as normal members - just don't include anything official in the Feature. If [windowframe] is really popular among members due to her art and roleplaying pages, it'd make sense to feature her because of those. :P

2013-12-22 [windowframe]: Whatever the actual reason someone is being featured it never looks good to other people. It just looks like nepotism, and it's even worse when you're featuring an actual friend, rather than a piece of work by a friend. In the particular case of the Featured Member, the purpose of it is to draw attention to interesting people you might not know, or to acknowledge and share people who do a lot for the community. The council already gets a lot more attention and they already get acknowledgement for pretty much everything they do with a myriad range of badges. They really don't need to be featured.

2013-12-22 [Stephen]: Hm. I can't debate that point. Okay then, I understand the reasoning and it does make sense. I can see why featuring Council members could likely upset people.
