Surviving the /qa/ coaltalogue - Day 27

Instead of posting my full and probably unworkable theories, I’m going to share a few questions.

Who should be in /qa/?

What will /qa/ look like in the future? What do I want it to be and how can I get there?

To be clear, this is all about /qa/, not about the quality of the coal that we’ve all been seeing. /qa/ needs to be saved. We don’t have time for arguing or fighting. We don’t have time for making things difficult for those of us who have been trying to make /qa/ a success, and we don’t have time for wasting everyone’s time with bullshit. So far we’ve had no real plan or direction. Some crazy ideas with no clear path to implementation, some weird and confusing proposals, a few cool ideas with good plans for how to go about them, and some stupid and incorrect ideas that troll anyone who tries to take this seriously.

I’ve had so many people telling me what /qa/ should be exactly what it currently is and that I must stop taking it seriously. It’s now just another hobby, and /qa/ is my hobby. So I’ve decided I will think of /qa/ as just a bit of time that I get to spend in my life doing something that I like. There’s no need to make /qa/ a separate board with a separate set of rules. All the rules in /qa/ should be optional.
