Virginia Giant Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 How about we start a video conference? Anyone who wants from this board gets a quality web cam, and we have a conference discussing the Gmen? There's tons of people doing it for other teams, mostly individuals though. We have some bright fans on this board and some colorful people as well. We could do it once a week and post it on Youtube, even if 1 or 2 people couldn't make it one week, we could have enough people so it wouldn't matter. Surely we could get 5 or 6 people to take part. It could serve as advertisement to the board as well. It may be dumb, but what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be dumb, but what do you guys think? awsome idea, I think it would be a great way to add a little action around here as well as maybe attract new members. I have a webcam and im in how do we set it up? maybe at the end of each month we could take the best topic/story and have a comment contest, kinda like around the horn.

Yeah, Nem mentioned making SW a ligit web site. i think having a video conference plus the sports writers from here i mentioned a while back would be 2 awesome ways to make the site real and attractive.

Sephiroth Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I think it's a great idea. There are a few things you'd need before you could make it happen though: 1. Are there members on the board who are tech savvy enough to make it happen, and happen well? No jumpy video, bad sound, etc. (I'd bet that there are.) 2. Will everyone have the time in their lives to do it? 3. We should be able to put an xml/rss feed somewhere on the site so that people who want to download Podcasts and/or blogs of the show would be able to. 4. Format. There should definitely be a moderator or "host" who brings up the topics to discuss, keeps everyone on topic, etc. I'd suggest this also be the most tech-savvy person of the group.

Time is the biggest one i think, being able to get everyone together at the same time for a half hour/45 minutes each week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on now every night the same people are on and off the board while fucking around doing other shit, I am sure we can all agree to stop what we are doing and focus on a video conference ATH-style show.

Sure we should, but like with me I have a rotating work schedule, so I never have the same days off each week, and while i may be on sportswrath from work, hooking a web cam and mic up to the work PC would be hard to explain, lol.

No none of that should happen. We're talking intelligent people debating here. But we need to have a topic of the day or something.. or at least a way to keep the discussion focused.

Virginia Giant Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looks like there would be enough people interested, I think 4 or 5 per show is a good number, plus we could take turns and if someone cazn't make it one week there should be a fill in.
