[El Diablo]

sam,

Here's what I wrote in my About sticky and the ATF post. I think OOT is the best place for tons of stuff, including all of the stuff below. Run effectively, it should on an ongoing basis probably be about an order of magnitude busier than a forum like mine, or at least a significant multiple busier. I've suggested to many people (KBZ's rivalry thread, Dom's random poll) that they post them in OOT instead, because if the thread is gonna work it's gonna be based on a lot of people seeing it (and responding if it's interesting). That applies for all sorts of stuff, I think OOT just needs to articulate that better.

"threads (polls about stuff that doesn’t involve much discussion, or quick advice threads, or random threads for posting hot chick pics, for example) will do better and/or can be quickly addressed/answered by posting in high-volume OOT"

"Polls.

Contests.

Hot chick threads.

Weekly TV show reports.

General quick advice threads.

Things that you want tons of people to read and comment on.

I'm going to continue posting all of these things on OOT and I expect most everyone else will too, because these threads will get more exposure and responses there, and just overall do better."
