It seems to me that people are still getting used to discussing a PolyCast episode in its own dedicated thread. I'm convinced it's the best way to structure discussion, so I'm certain you and others are getting/will get used to it.

at the title. Now you have it.

Do something more controversial in the next one. I say you should become more like The View

Could these two points not be mutually exclusive?

Not so -- see posts above.

Okay! In one week, we have 12 posts. If we remove all the posts that were started by my spam constructive criticism, we get a grand total of 2 posts, which results in an average post per day count of .29 per day. Hence, it would appear that what little activity this thread is recieving is mostly being caused by me.

That said, why not do something constructive and try to get the discussion going again?

I'm an amateur??????? Jealous??????

[Nubclear]

The power of the Soviet people over Apolyton is great.

[DanQ]

How about this compromise: this forum is now a sub-forum of the "Apolyton/Community" forum.

Eh... not sure it is good move to have another forum for it... seems like you'd get more traffic on the Apolyton forum.

We are now moved to this thread. I trust my point is made.
