Still, don't see the harm in simply creating a user if they really want to be that involved in the wiki instead of just an anon... I agree, but there are users out there who don't register on sites. I think there was an anonymous user here who made a lot of contributions and never registered. Same has happened elsewhere. Plus, people might want to contribute, but can't register because they are underage (the TOU only requires that people be over 13 to register, but doesn't stop under 13's from editing as an anomyous user). Hence why I feel that the moot is catered only to actual users of the wiki.

But I concede your point. The Time Zones definitely need to reach a larger demographic. I would like to point out though that larger decisions on the Moot do find their way to the CT's. It's one of the rules. Anything too big for a small group gets moved to the CT's, so that on major decisions, we capture anyone who cares to give their opinion. On everything else, I agree entirely, and it's something we need to address. A few things have been brought up in moots (looking at chat logs) which would have been better discussed in the forums (or even a talkpage) rather than decided upon in the moot via a tally. But at least we agree on most things (I know I said it a little harshly, but wanted to make the point clear so there wasn't a misunderstanding ;))
