Thinking of alternative rantables.
« on: March 11, 2005, 06:47:33 PM »
Hi guys,

I'm just sitting here, thinking of the next phase of my life as it were and I have an idea.  I am going to start working on a new site specifically intended to allow people to discuss world events that don't make sense.  Think of it as an expanded version of the Coffee House forums with a dash of slashdot built in.

I've registered a domain which is pretty copyrightable and is both appropriate and fun.  I could use everyone's input and help as it comes together and I'd invite you to be a part of the beginning of it.  I'll release the name as it comes closer to being online and ready for use but it will be a fun ride.

Any graphics guys still out there?  I'm sure I'll need a new logo and stuff.

Wayne

nah, this is actually much shorter and easier to remember.  Could use a superhero mascot, but not one of the typical squirrels.

If it's for ranting, there's one that springs to mind

Isn't that sock getting pretty crusty by now?  I can't imagine it would be much fun to use?

After five years worth of use I should imagine crusty doesn't do the effect justice. Petrified would be more like it :lol:

@sock fetishists

I see socks are still quite fasionable around here. If you aren't careful I might have to go hunting for my old sock avatar :-D

@wayne

Sounds like a cool idea, are you planning for it to have an Amiga theme? Either way, I'm sure when the time comes I'll be able to lend a hand in some way :-)

How would it be different than the thousands of blog sites?

What would be the draw? (To keep people comming back}

What keeps it from degenerating into name calling? The discussions that take place here are "gentlemanly" compared to some political sites.
