Hive can't say "no thanks." It's an inanimate object.

I agree there isn't as much participation as there could be. Yet I found out about this from a PeakD notification giving the headline which doesn't sound serious or important. Several thousand probably saw it. Your post has around 300 views. The proposal last I checked had 60 votes and by reading comments I can tell some of those are just joke votes.

I was so convinced this was a joke, I wrote a joke response.

Dude I'm not trying to be hard on you but this proposal hardly looks like a life raft. It's fabulous you've found success at times. This might not be one of those times. I'm only one guy saying no. Tell Jimmy I'm sorry things didn't work out between us.
