button is *needed*, then we can ask that it be made.

you don't appreciate that some of us have privacy concerns, among others? -- nm - b. Jun 17, 12:57 22
- While I appreciate these concerns, you all know that privacy on the web is an illusion. - TWuG Jun 17, 13:01
- Not really. This is a public forum. We're responsible for our own information. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 13:00 6
  - It's also a forum of, I thought, friends, who might respect other's concerns even if they don't agree with them. -- nm - ty97 Jun 17, 13:01 5
    - I respect concerns...but I'm not abiding by the basic idea that this is a closed community becuase some people say so. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 13:02 4
      - no, it's a closed community because that's how it *works*. - znufrii Jun 17, 13:04 1
        
        Lots of big words in this post to mean "But that's what I'm used to!" -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 13:12
      - I guess I'm searching for the balance between the concerns of some posted and the ease of technology for others. - ty97 Jun 17, 13:04 1
        
        I think the end decision is that it's not going to happen anyway. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 13:07
- Is there a rule currently in place against linking to ST posts? -- nm - mara Jun 17, 12:58 12
  - I never thought of it before. if people do that, I'm not happy about it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 12:59 8
    - LOOSI? NOT HAPPY ABOUT SOMETHING?????? - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 13:02
    - You've missed previous conversations about attracting new people? You missed Bery creating an ST Twitter account? -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:01 5
      - Link me to the ST Twitter, pls? - con_carne Jun 17, 13:08 2
        
        Where are searching? I just googled slackertalk twitter and it was the first result: http://twitter.com/slackertalk -- (link) - mara Jun 17, 13:11 1
        
        Ah, the search I was doing was searching Tweets, rather than Twitter accounts. Thanks! -- nm - con_carne Jun 17, 13:13
      - *people I know* don't follow that account. Some ST folks are FB friends with people I know. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 13:03
      - but truthfully, ST's twitter account gets about as much action as pixie -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 13:02
    - *signs up for Twitter* nm -- nm - groiny Jun 17, 13:00
  - It's not so much that we *can't*, generally speaking it's that we *don't* -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 12:59 1
    - And we all know that we can. We always could. It's a public forum. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:00
  - of course not. -- this is really upsetting me, and I don't need that right now. -- nm - b. Jun 17, 12:59
- yeah, this is me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 12:58
In fact, I may be one of the few people who have linked to an ST post on Twitter. Frankly, the huge majority of people following the link will be - mara Jun 17, 12:53 8
- good point. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 12:58
- even just the archaic design can do that. A lot of sites today are designed so you can immediately tell what the appetizing content is. ST is ... - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:55 6
  - Fuck with the foundation at your peril. :-) -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 12:57
  - (This is why I included some Sidebar items on the survey - the sidebar is a part of the problem) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:56
  - Don't even think about it. I'll anarchist all over you if you orange us up! -- nm - ty97 Jun 17, 12:56 3
    - I'm all about choice and backward-compatibility in this regard. A skin, when properly implemented, can be a user preference. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:57 2
      - Which is partly why I suggested a bit of a revamp in the CSS simply because you could use things like greasemonkey or stylish much more effectively - oblique Jun 17, 13:01 1
        
        yes, that's definitely one of the suggestions that appeals to me :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:01
yeah, getting me to do it is way too socialist ....... ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:52
