I just read the thread that explains the Gentoo OTW forums will be closing soon.

I think a lot of us are upset with this decision, but any sensible person understands the decision. I have no problem believing the arguments of the forums mods and admins. Gentoo needs to focus on gentoo, not random discussions.

I think this gives us an opportunity to expand the concepts of OTW, as strange as those concepts may be. I am creating this thread as a place for OTW'ers to discuss new mediums that we can get together and continue our strange OTW behaviors.

I personally see two options in my mind. Do I think we have to have another slashdot out there? Definitely not. But I think given the volume of OTW posters we could develop a very large community elsewhere and continue to have posts that are interesting to us, and perhaps draw an even larger crowd.

Option one would be to create a site using slashcode.

Option two would be to just make another phpbb site such as this one.

I personally hope to see a nice migration or OTW to a different site; I hope OTW doesn't fade away as another internet fad. Come on everyone, lets go. All aboard, trolls and all. Later.

It isn't definite, but I think we should create our own site, but money will be a problem.

I think a combination of the two ideas presented in the first post would be a good idea.

What's wrong with Slyde's forum? It's picking up momentum and is pretty cool. Not that there's anything wrong with this new site, especially if I want to get my Outlook Express 6 working with IMAP :lol:

Wrong assumption. Nobody's closing OTW just yet, read klieber's post again. Stick to that thread for discussing whatever you think needs discussing in that context, too, this one goes to the dups bin.
