Right! As a result of the census, we've noticed a discord-board gap. A big part of this, IMHO, is the infrequency of posts, and how infrequently those posts spark interesting discussions. SO! We need more posts (not a MASSIVE AMOUNT, but more than the maybe one or two a week we get), and we need posts that spark discussion.
In order to do this, some ideas for what sort of posts are good for sparking discussion, and we also need to get people talking. For the second part...
OI! YOU! YES YOU! When we post stuff on the board, PLEASE share your feelings, comments and opinions. And then share your feelings, comments and opinions about everyone else's feelings, comments, and opinions. This way, discussion wll happen.
As for topics, that's what the thread is for. I'll start with a list, and you lot can add to it. Or post your feelings, comments and opinions.
-Recent news
-Things to debate (Do Balrogs have wings? Who would win? Tabs or Spaces? Vi or Emacs? I kid on the last two...)
-Interesting fandom things (like GNU Terry Pratchett, which I just shared. Look it up, it's pretty amazing.)
-Cool fanfic (and your feelings, comments, and opinions about it - what did you like? What didn't you like?)
-Bad fanfic (with eye-gouging, rage-inducing excerpts, and your feelings, comments and opinions (are you noticing a theme? (nesting yay!))
And now, dear PPCers, I turn the thread over to you. Please post. And frequently.
