So, regarding this slackertalk thing. If they change the format of the boards on TT, would everyone move here?

I know I would. It would totally change the whole dynamic here if it was a standard threaded board.

Also, do you think we'd ever get any new blood? I wonder if people would stumble across the boards and we might get a few new faces sometimes.

Responses:

Good question. I thought David said he wouldn't. As for new blood, we'd have to recruit. Or maintain a presence at HSX for just that purpose. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 20:28 2
- I said that if they change the boards, that's welcome since it would have better tech. - David Sep 4, 20:34 1
  - aww shucks. Thanks. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 20:35
I would. (and we'd lurk on new TT for new blood). -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 20:28
This shows up in all of the major search engines. It wouldn't surprise me if non TTers find it. -- nm - Redmond Sep 4, 20:28
I think I can get awat with 'hsx" at work, but "slackertalk" would push it. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Sep 4, 20:28 8
- Dude, use slickertalk at work. Duh. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 20:29
- that's what "slickertalk" is for -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 20:28 6
  - I must have missed the memo...thanks -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Sep 4, 20:29 5
    - yes, there are a few memos that haven't been fully circulated yet. Like the RSS feed trick (rss.php?username=[username]) to see people's replies to yo -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 20:30 1

    - how could anyone fault you for using a didactic reference system? -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 20:30 2
      - exactly! Not only is it a reference system, but it's an interactive reference system that *teaches* you! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 20:30 1
        
        I referred to TT as my "information needs focus group" in my library's Twitter feed yesterday. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 20:32
I really don't like the idea of nested posts, if that is what they are thinking of -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 20:28 2
- Yeah, people 'bumping' posts to the top, etc. - Subversive Sep 4, 20:30 1
  - and of course... bump -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 20:38
unfortunately -- nm - mickpix Sep 4, 20:28
It has two domain names that both are very neatly named. Eventually people will find us. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 20:27 3
- What do you think about advertising slackertalk on the HSX fansite page? - Roger More Sep 4, 20:30 2
  - I'm torn ... for the time being it might be better to just see what develops, rather than pimping it out. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 20:37 1
    - Probably the right move, for now. Wait and see if a permanent migration happens -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 20:52
