It is not an expectation, if you look at the LRC Blog most of their posts are tiny, and it is a great blog nonetheless. It is also not a goal because everyone may set up their goal for themselves.

But I can say that many who take up blogging will discover oftentimes the length of their posts will just balloon and balloon from what they envisioned it would be before starting on it, and that the real challenge is keeping length under control and the post a manageable one. 2000 words is really nothing sometimes.

Ok, then count me in.

23

5 pledges (Marko, Wheylous, Neodoxy, Groucho, Andris Birkmanis) in 15 days. I conclude we remain on schedule.

24

I have a feeling Telligent does not support ‘stickes,’ so… bump.

25

It’s early, I sort of skimmed the post (I thought this was about having a new forum again), and I’ve been up since 5, so I probably missed something, anyway…

I’d be interested in contributing (keep things interesting), but I haven’t even wrote a thought out post on politics/econ in some time, regardless I think I can add something of substantial content on something.

If something seems as if it may be esoteric for the Austrian/libertarian interested crowd it may be best left for your personal blog.

Err, like something that’s just not in lines with the format, conspiracy theories, or something like Clayton’s posts on Blavatsky?

Also, can we rehash old posts on here and rewrite them for the new blog? I think this would be a good way to save “old thoughts” on here and catalog them in a better manner (important posts that were substantial can become a blog post in itself).

26

I think that at this point he might say yes :stuck_out_tongue:

27

The way this sort of seems is that the regulars are going to have their own site to make posts while keeping up on the news/kicking around ideas here on the forum.

28

If the pledges stop at 14, I’ll be last one.

29

If the pledges stop at 14, I’ll be last one.

Does it mean you do not want your pledge before that point to encourage somebody else to join?

30

I’m in.

31

I think this is a good idea but I’m not sure I can devote it the time it deserves. On the other hand, it would be a shame if it failed by a slim margin, so I’ll pledge if no one pushes it beyond 15 in the allotted time-frame (and, of course, than I’ll devote enough time to it).

32

On the other hand, it would be a shame if it failed by a slim margin

Then pledge right now :slight_smile:

If we do not reach 15 - you have no obligations, that’s the whole point.

33

It’s not exactly the same thing, for if I pledge now and we beat the target by one (say, 16 pledges) I still must contribute

But yeah, what the hell, I’m in!

34

Another demonstration of faulty logic (and even manifestly faulty logic) affecting human action :slight_smile:

35

Care to think again?

36

Sorry, I didn’t mean that as an insult :frowning:

But it was kinda funny, that despite seeing a fault in my argument, you agreed.

37

I thought you were referring to my post, sorry

38

So when are we getting this show on the road?

39

Our contractual obligations kick in on November 19th, or when we get 15 signatories, I guess.

Though we can easily start before that, purely on pro bono basis. Wait…

Welcome! As you say, you haven’t been posting much lately but I remember you had your fans when you were.
