IRG soup huh?!
I LOVE THE SOUP!
an update of the fun stuff that happned over the week? i like that idea. but whos gonna be the one who reports it all?

thanks Yasha

maybe stuff like what you're up to, photos if you went anywhere cool...anything that pops up in one of the threads that people will miss if they don't post regularly. I'm always missing the really cool tidbits

I was about to post something useful, then I remembered that I'm never gone for more than a week.

I read every post, so it's not a big deal for me to do something like that... stuff about what I'm doing will just end up with a picture of my computer, though

Maybe I'll try to write a blurb, just something funny or otherwise interesting, and crosspost it to the blog. I ask again, what kinds of things would you like to see?

This is a great idea

What kinds of things would we like to see?  Things that capture the spirit of the forums.  The best of the week's image manipulation... notable Pop-Tart sightings... pieces of groundbreaking analysis... key events in the lives of forum members... whatever strikes you as interesting when you surf the board.  It would be awesome!

Birthday announcements would be sweet.

It's an awesome idea, and I totally respect Yasha and all the things she does running the site and forum, but it'd also be pretty cool if there was something similar that was kind of a volunteer first-come-first-serve setup just because it'd be interesting to read other people's takes on what the ups and downs of the board are.

I agree, and I don't think that a one-poster thread is the way to go on this one either. However, if anyone is posting, it also means a much larger possibility of derails... and while we're pretty lax on that, it's still kinda irritating to see things go hugely far off the tracks. If we can find a situation that works, like a group of people that post, or an initial post/other people's commentary thing, I'd be all for that too.

What i think would be kinda funny is Fake Ohtori news that co responds to the happenings of the week on IRG.

"Utena caught ing to the newest additions of "post your pr0nz" thread in IFD, Anthy was a witness and was taped saying the following. "See that thing she does...rigth there with her thumb, the dental floss, a pigmy and an extension chord? i taught her that!"

that does sound like a pretty sweet deal..I'm so amped up for this.

I think in the end, the IRG Soup thing will last longer if we have me post every week and then other people chime in with stuff I might have missed or stuff they want to expand on as they like. Sure, it's a bit set in one viewpoint, but that's not what I care about-- I'm thinking in terms of longevity here.

Good idea!  People could make themselves columnists, even.

Also, I'm tempted to nominate 'The Weekly Weed' as a name. Somebody stop me.

Because we're a garden?  Heh   We could always call it "Extra! Extra!"  (Or "Gougai! Gougai! Gougai!", depending on how much we hate the dub.)  Or "The vIRGin."  Or "The Gio And Yasha Are Sexy Tribune."

I was going to say that but you said it first.

First installment will be Sunday, probably late at night.

This is awesome. Especially since I've been away for a while.
