Is this to replace the open threads?
This is to:
provide a place you can post with lower karma consequences than the main site
provide a place you can discuss things you think are not worthy of the main site
provide a place you can work with the community to tune something up until it’s ready for the main site
give you guys an opportunity to make up your own uses for this part of the site.
The link to get here is not very obvious, maybe an announcement on the main site would be a good idea. I only found this because I happened to click your username and noticed a post that didn’t show up under Recent Posts.
An announcement would be good—want some cheap karma?
User:Emile has posted and earned 130 karma so far :)
lower karma consequences
How does that work? Do votes here count towards karma differently, are we aiming to have different norms about voting, or what?
The community might converge on that but with how things work around here both will probably be around for a while.
