So I clicked on NT today and saw a post about a niketalk blog and gave one of these
. When I clicked on it and read some moreabout it though, it appears these people had different intentions than i did, as I've had this sort of idea going for awhile now and just never got aroundto starting it up - still, I figured I should hurry up and get my idea rolling before all the talent hops on board with the other place
. But just wantedto preface this by saying, i am not stealing anyone's idea here that I know of from the other post, it's just bad timing for one and and unfortunatesharing of terminology (which i don't think you guys were using right anyways, but whatever).
ANYWAYS - The point:
I've setup a "blog" of sorts about Niketalk - and I need people to becontributors to it. But I don't just want anybody, I want people who are regulars here, who get the culture around these parts, who are witty, and who canwrite decently.
The idea behind this thing? I'll give you it straight from the "about" page:
I want recaps of big happenings here - it's tough to keep up with everything that goes on here, you can miss one week on the board and miss 20 things, fromshoe release information to hilarity in general. It's a blog ABOUT niketalk, not a blog that repeats everything already talked about on niketalk.
I don't think everyone will get that initially - and I'm sure many will come in here to say it's a stupid idea or whatever, but I think it'sworth doing and if anyone else does, and you think you meet the criteria I've listed above, I'd like you to join me.
If nothing else - take a look around and see if you have any suggestions for me on how to improve/build on this idea - it's a work in progress obviously,but I think it's something that could be a pretty cool addition to the NT community... it's something I wanted somebody else to do for a long time now,and I haven't seen that anybody has so I'm going to try to handle it myself I guess.
Anyways - for now, the link is here --- http://niketalk.wordpress.com/
Get at me through niketalkblog@gmail.com if you are interested in this. If you hate it, just keep it moving please.
(btw, i'm already noticing the site looks/works better in firefox, sodon't be upset if it looks stupid in IE)

The hope for this site is that Niketalker's will be able to keep up with things they've missed, and discuss happenings dealing with Niketalk from a sort've "outside" perspective. The board has gotten big enough now that it's become something worthy of it's own commentary altogether. Hopefully this will be the place where that kind of conversation will take place, giving Niketalkers another outlet and voice in the world of hyperspace.
The important thing to remember is that it's all in good fun here.
