In lugnet.gaming.starship, folks wrote in favour of newsie stuff.
Not sure I follow gang. How is this different from what we can already post
here or on the old board, or on the various boards associated with the various
sectors? And posting our own newsie posts here can happen without any
additional admin, or need to view additional repositories to get the good
stuff.
I understand that there are some who are unable to post to Lugnet, but
nothing stops them posting to the old board, and experience suggests that
posting to Lugnet is something that can be organised in a relatively short
period of time.
And if the argument is that no-one posts to the old board
because no-one reads it anymore, I’d have thought that this only reinforces my
sense that this board is the one, single and best repository for Starship
related stuff. We’d need to believe that we’re going to go read another site as
well before we’d believe that our newsie thingie is going to find a readership.
And while I appreciate the enthusiasm of those putting their hands up for
roles, I note that most of us are guilty of significant delays in meeting our
existing ship and sector work each week (like me right now). This would suggest
to me that some of us are either at or beyond our limits already.
Don’t get
me wrong, do what you feel and I’m entirely cool with it. I guess I am just
keen to make sure we get the most from what we have before we risk
over-committing ourselves and losing more than we gain.
If I had a
recommendation, I guess it would be that we simply agree a Subject naming
protocol (like the ‘Rules talk’ thingie) and create graphicy banners for our
publication mastheads and simply ftx them onto our newsie posts here. Anyone
who wants to read the news could then simply browse the group or search for
appropriately named posts...

| (...) Well, it would be our own seperate page or few where the graphics can change and it's less LUGNETy. Yes, I have delayed quite a while in the past, but so haven't we all.

| (...) I like the general idea here, and I think something that just allows simple message posts is fine. A few ideas to add to the list: 1. Perhaps posting should require a password so that only official reporters (i.e. SMs) can post news messages (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)
