so there have been several great suggestions about what to do with the backlog and tagging issues, so i thought i'd throw up a quick poll, so the mods that take over can see the preferred method to deal with that.
please vote!
now there are several people willing to become mods and help out with the tagging system for the prompts.
the current mod team is still
cashay, enochia, evil_little_dog, simplyn2deep, theeverdream, and zelda_addict. mods, i'd like to hear from you and if you'd still be interested in being a mod, if you didn't comment on the previous post. thanks!
simplyn2deep is willing to take over my place as owner. ideally, i think two-three head mods would be awesome, so if one or two can't take care of modly duties for RL reasons or whatever, there's always someone else to depend on. then the modding team.
evil_little_dog is still willing to be a mod.
classics_lover has offered to be a co-mod.
angelus2hot has expressed interest in being a mod.
lanalucy has offered to set up a gdoc spreadsheet for the unfilled/filled prompts if that's the way the comm goes.
zippitgood offered to help maintain the gdoc spreadsheet.
gehayi seems willing to help with gdocs as well.
yuidirnt has offered to create a new delicious account for the prompts.
matrixrefugee has offered to help with a new delicious.
lynne_monstr has offered to help index prompts on whatever platform they end up on.
zelda_addict is willing to help index prompts.
raktajinos is willing to help index prompts.
samueljames has offered to buy the comm a pinboard account for the prompts.
i would still being willing to help index prompts too. modding is just way too much for me, but indexing a section of prompts is much more manageable for me right now.
another user suggested moving from daily themes to weekly themes, so here's another poll about that.
i'm trying to get everything organized as much as possible before the next modding team takes over, so mods, if you haven't responded, i'd really like to know if you want to stay a mod or not. thanks!
which platform to you want to see the tagging system moved to?
GDocs Spreadsheet
33(52.4%)
Pinboard
20(31.7%)
Old Delicious
2(3.2%)
New Delicious
8(12.7%)

author's choice, author's choice,
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you

As far as daily/weekly - I like the daily format but I chose weekly because I think given the state of LJ it might be a little more realistic for everyone - I know that personally I've missed *many* themes I wanted to submit for but couldn't because by the time I could get to it the next day's was running.
For those who voted for weekly themes, how would this be set up? A different person every week to "guest host" or 1 person for the whole month who puts up a new theme once a week?
Also, something that I didn't think about yesterday, but that just came to me, is limiting how far in advance we give out hosting weeks. I think by doing this, it will limit the number of times we have to go to pinch hitters because the person I contacted never got back to me (and not all do despite me asking them to let me know they've received my reminder message).
If that fails, my offer to create a new delicious account from scratch still stands.
I picked weekly prompts because its hard to do every day, but weekly might be too long for some, how about new prompts twice a week?
I have trouble navigating delicious, but I have no experience with GDocs, so I don't know if I would find that easier. I'm a technical dunce.
That being said, maybe going to 2 or 3 times a week might be a good comprise between keeping the momentum going and giving people more time with a theme.
As to the dwindling participation... well, LJ is quieter than it once was, that's true. Mainly, if you have fewer live readers and prompters, then you get fewer fandoms/ideas suggested, which inspires fewer people to write. I'm probably not explaining that well, but the more people and fandoms, the more prompts and writers you attract. It's self-perpetuating or self-limiting, depending on how the cycle goes. So, more pimping of the comm, maybe?
And on the flip side, this comm has definitely gotten me writing fandoms I never thought I would, so that is bonus all around!
Oh, and we could cross-post to Tumblr and Twitter to direct people to the comm.

As for offering modding duties, just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it (even if that's just making the tea. I don't drink it, but apparently I make it well :P)
Speaking of which, how are we going to tackle that daunting task? Like, how many will do it and how will it be divided up?
I'd also be happy to crosspost fills to an AO3 collection as bookmarks. People could add their fics on AO3 to the collection's frontend if they're on AO3. Not sure who'd want that, but I know I'd love it.

I, and some others for sure, crosspost to AO3 all the time but I'm not sure everyone would want that so I don't know how you'd keep track of who minded or didn't.
