Strike Plans for the OTC
OTC is participating in the strike by willfully generating new content, and with your help lots.
Starting today at 4pm EST and continuing on until the end of Friday EST, we are shooting for one new post an hour. (MORE IS OKAY!) They can be on anything, whether it's the strike directly or unrelated. I'd like OTC asylum members on IJ to provide content to keep the striking/boycotting LJers occupied. All posts must be open so that Open ID can be used. Feel free to join and post!
I'm asking OTC members to comment in the posts as much as they can to generate conversation in addition to posting, and to answer questions about IJ and encourage new IJers to post in OTC if they can't answer. As a part of the strike, we are rolling out the welcome mat to help as we can new IJers get oriented to the site.
off_topic_cafe, a discussion asylum that centers around absolutely nothing, except discussion.
Not just questions, not just drama, not just one specific topic, just discussion of whatever the community wants. This discussion could be as intellectual as you want in one post, and could could be a flame fest the next. If any of you remember the old Fidonet BBS was--various threads on every topic imaginable. Each poster sets the tone for the post. If you wanna have a flame war--post that in the post, wanna discuss your thesis seriously, make that clear. Community members will honor that request. At the end of the day though, the point is to generate discussion here in this community. Please keep that in mind when you post.
