Wizards Den

@heather Here's how I'd've done it. I would've lurked meta.physics, and seen a related meta post. Then I would've mentioned the proposal in one of the comments.

Shadow Wizard

It is like door to door salesman who get into the house uninvited and put whatever he sells in the kitchen.

heather

@ShadowWizard, I didn't realize this was rude, and I apologize. I simply wanted to spread the word. I will refrain from doing so in the future.

Shadow Wizard

1:24 PM

@heather OK. It was also posted in MSE and other sites, which just makes it worse. (though maybe not by you? Doesn't really matter.)

heather

@ShadowWizard, what would be the appropriate correction of this error?

Shadow Wizard

@heather not much can be done in chat, but you (or the other user) can delete the posts in the non relevant sites.

heather

@ShadowWizard, okay, I will do my best to clean up this mess and spread the word in a more appropriate manner.

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX nah, no time and prefer plain chess anyway... :)

M.A.R.

And thank you for being stunningly polite with the feedback you got.

@M.A.R., if you were commenting to me, then thank you. I just was excited about the proposal; I really hope it does get reopened and advances to beta.

Bye, and I will avoid spamming Shadow's Den =P

M.A.R.

@heather Yep, but be careful of the potential of such site to lead to disappointment.

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard alright!

M.A.R.

@heather this proposal is in danger of whatever threatened the existence of a hypothetical site for newbies

OK actually that linked thing doesn't seem to list my concerns. Looking for something on meta.SO

heather

@M.A.R., but see, it isn't a site for newbies, just for physics problems.

M.A.R.

@heather But it will the same problem. People too lazy to do their own homework would see 'oh look, a physics homework site'

Ignoring whatever mission the site has.

And whatever meta and help center content you've written not to attract poor questions

Just saying that due to the nature of the site, you'll have a very hard battle to keep up quality.

Of course providing that you get Robert to reopen it, AND get the number of followers to reach the beta threshold.

heather

1:38 PM

@M.A.R., yes, I suppose so. But I think the good stuff that would come in would definitely be worth it. And yeah, if I get Robert to reopen it AND get the appropriate number of followers - well, I'd count that as some kind of a miracle, but I really hope it does get reopened, as I think it'd be quite useful.
