Discussion #1

So we're going to try out having the weekly discussion post and the weekend workshop, and just kind of see which one is better, if we need both, if not, etc. Shaking things up a bit on you guys

Would it be possible to have a "people interested in doing word wars or otherwise randomly encouraging each other on chat" post here in the support community? Where we could check in whenever and see who's interested in a word war that night? I don't often have time to write on the weekends, and I've been looking on with jealousy when people post about word warring over the weekend. Because that's the only way I get writing done at any reasonable pace, it seems.

Would it work to maybe rename the Weekend Workshops to Week-long/Weekly Workshops? Because I would say I intended those to mostly be open all week long for that sort of thing, and also to always have a new post on the page for people to seek that info. Otherwise I can see a Word Wars post getting buried pretty quickly under discussion posts.

Also if we have two posts a week, either post can be used to ask for word wars, I can imagine.

I like the workshops just being weekend things, I think, but anyone can post anytime about word wars if they're around and want to see if other people are interested in them. Then if it gets buried they can just make a new one. XD

Ah, I think you mentioned this to me once! And I agree it's a good idea. Do you remember where NaNo held these chats, or have any recs for programs/websites that would work?

I'm going to Google, but I've never really chatted outside of IM, so I don't have any idea.

Okay, apparently Meebo has chat rooms that I can even embed on a website. Perhaps that would work? This is their website - http://www.meebo.com/rooms/.

I've heard of them before, and I don't think I've heard anything bad about them.

Anytime you want to post that in the comm, go ahead and do so! The posts aren't limited to mods, you guys can post anytime you want about anything you want (as long as it's big-bang-related, lol).
