After some perhaps 'misplaced' disclosures from a few people, the Psychoville 'Twibbon' (cause app for Twitter) was created - mostly as something fun to show support for a second series. As interest grew, the petition was posted to provide an organised outlet for fans of the series to be heard, regardless of whether or not the series was given the 'green light'. In the end, it all boils down to money and ratings, and we are all well aware of that fact.
Also, several involved with the show know of the petition, and as someone who shall remain nameless said: "...we all think it's well and good that people who like the show say and do whatever they like to spur the BBC to make a second series...."
So while, yes, commission talks are coming within the next 2 weeks or so - and they may very well bag another series - a little push from the fans is welcome. Why not make it easier for the BBC to see what the fans think? Sure, there are forums and comments on articles, blogs, etc. -- But what's the harm in having it all right in one spot, nice and neatly compiled? *shrug*

Psychoville has been recommissioned. Woooosh!

That sounds like a special next year and then a series the year after.
Nice one. Quite a long wait though. Other projects?
Wohoooo!

Maybe room for a League reunion . .? Probably not, but it would be nice.

Ooooh that would indeed be very nice!
Maybe it'll take them that long to write it? I know they've said in the past they find writing to be like pulling teeth.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Woop! Now I need an address to send my CV off to - would be a dream job, that one . . . !
Woo! this is the news I've been waiting to hear for so long. Great stuff. Best comedy in 2009 in my opinion.
Nah, 2nd place to The Thick of It, and the last episode sucked lemons . . .

The final 10 minutes sucked but I loved the rest of the last episode.
Ah yes. I stand corrected . . .
Hooray! Good news about it being recommissioned. 1st series might not have been perfect but still better than most things on.
