TI Reddit
« on: August 31, 2011, 04:35:40 pm »
To pop each ti community's bubble full of cool projects, ideas and news I thought, why dont we open up a subreddit for all that is important. Whenever there is a contest or a major breakthrough in ti development you could post (or link) your news there instead of posting it in every ti forum you know. I happen to forget quite a few topics, so a subreddit would be ideal to hang around in the community without checking every single source. It could be like tcpa in slow mode :) .

I found this to be a good start: http://www.reddit.com/r/tiNews/

What do you think? Are you willing to contribute?

I wouldn't mind if that was around as long as it is not for the purpose of stealing activity from forums or to compete against already established calculator websites. In other words, we could post important stuff there, but still continue to cross-post it on forums we frequent as well, kinda like back when www.ti-news.net was still around (it fetched news from many sites). Back in the days I usually checked TI-News first for updates.

Personally, I never really use Reddit, although it's an interesting idea.

I also might start something like ti-news.net too.

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

I wonder if it's possible to create some sort of bot or something that would relay news from various calc sites (providing the site webmaster permission is asked)  on Reddit then have a permalink to the site in question? The issue though is that certain news on the respective sites aren't always calc-related.

I never use Reddit either (though IIRC, I created an account and several posts after TI's illegal attack on the distribution of signing keys), but I liked TI-News as long as it was up.

That's the idea. You liked Ti-News, but actually you had like readonly permissions. This would be different on Reddit. It's everybody's Ti-News.

Of course you could still post in forums and then link to it.

Actually on TI-News we could post news on the front page, but most people just bookmarked the conglomerate, so that didn't help. An everybody's TI-News would definitively be cool.

I'd been thinking about that -- why don't we have a service that grabs feeds from all these sites (anymore, apparently)?

Well since Reddit might also reach people from outside the TI community, maybe we could just have bots that fetch news from respective sites and post them there, along with people posts?

Hmm that seems nice. It would definitively be best to ask each site admins' permission though. In 2003 when TI-News re-opened MaxCoderz got the MC feed taken down because they fetched their news content without their permission, then it was re-added later after an agreement with Kv83.

Also for the non-Reddit conglomerate, maybe it would be good to include Casio sites too, instead of just limiting it to TI calcs.

Whoa I love the theme!

On the other hand, would anyone find problems with hosting this on a particular forum community? I had been thinking of something like this being hosted on a site like ticalc.org, since nearly all of their news is from other sources anyway. Or Reddit would work, since nobody's using it yet (but didn't someone suggest a http://www.reddit.com/r/ti a few months ago?).

Yeah it would kinda make sense if the domain name was like news.ticalc.org or community.ticalc.org (although then it would mean no Casio news). Else, any sub-domain we got that don't include another calc site name in the URL, such as tinews.57o9.org or something like that. Maybe just an entire new domain too, although that would cost extra money. Something like calc-newsD0Tnet, calcnewsD0Torg, calcnewsD0Tcom or even calcneD0Tws would be good.

If the URL looks like calcnews.cemetech.net, calcnews.omnimaga.org or stuff like that, some people might look upon it or think it's biased towards one site in particular even if it isn't meant to.
