Like the title says. Give at least three ways to make .mecha a better, more
mindblowing newsgroup. No more half-hearted complaints, let’s thrash out just
what we want to do to rock everybody’s moms harder and longer.
Just two restrictions I’d like to apply:
1. No alternate website ideas. The idea is to improve the venue we have, not
siphon off traffic and nearly kill it like .castle.
2. No requests for massive recoding/restructuring. Sorry, Greg, but Todd’s not
gonna rewrite Lugnet so you can have your ideal community forum.
Here are mine:
Relax. Don’t worry about posting frequency, volume of models, etc. Look at
.space. Nowhere near the amount of complaining about lack of activity that other
groups have. If nothing happens for a month, that’s fine, let it go.
Foster discussion. Bring up influences on design, share details of your
process, or talk about cool stuff you’d like to build soon. Post pictures of the
half-finished mecha sitting on your desk.
You don’t have to be original, most of this has been covered before, but get
ideas flowing. Get comfortable with the others in the group. Don’t ask what
everyone else is doing to foster discussion, do it yourself. Be so cool we can’t
help but respond.
Start a contest. Build to a monthly theme. Harass people who haven’t posted
in a while. Let’s do this!
