Sifter's Coffee House is coming to town!
As our sift community matures, I thought it would be nice to to have an 'unofficial off topic VS forum'. With Dag's permission ... I present to you: Sifter's Coffee House! This will be like a home away from home to talk about anything and everything ... who homeschools? who has had an engagement? a wedding? a promotion? maybe you want to bounce an idea off of someone? need advice? need to rant? post a personal movie review ...
The possibilities are endless!!! Who knows ... maybe I'll even make: Choggie's Corner!! LOL What I'm looking for here is everyone's thoughts, concerns, ideas, suggestions, etc ... the best part of this amazing community that Dag has cultivated IS the manner in which we communicate ... it is bar none!
This is an endeavor I'm ready to undertake if it is something that our community would like to see! If it's a go ... I'll be ready to open my doors on Feb 17th!

i always forget that SiftTalk posts don't get noticed until someone posts in the thread!!

I like it, count me in! Though at the moment I don't have any ideas.
Go for it. I'd be there in a flash, it frustrates me sometimes when I have an 'off-topic' question / rant on the tip of my 'tongue'.
milk , no sugar please
oh ..just reminded me. i ve got to post this sometime, love the last line

Great idea LadyBug! I know we had the random chat room previously, but I never really used it! Another area for random rants of a Sift (or other) nature sounds good to me...Let me know if you need a hand with anything (like serving coffee!)
Will tea be served, I don't like coffee. Good idea though, as all my thoughrs are off topic.
It'll be like one big gigantimongus self-link
It'll be 'English Morning Breakfast Tea' though NickyP - the server is state-side (where the brew is second to the bean!) Maybe we could have a TV in the corner (along with Choggie!) too?
Sounds good.
"Choggie's Poetry Corner"
Who would wanna come to choggie's corner???
Great idea the coffee...with talking,... conceptually.
Yall' work it out there LB, sure it'll be ....cute.
How ya'll like the avatar???
Hanadi Zakriyya Hindi- first woman pilot in Saudi Arabia....wonder how long its been for her??( SMPI - Time Since Major Periodic Inspection)
'Sounds like fun to me. Count me in, too.
well looks like it's a 'go'!! i hoped this would be the overall consensus, but you know when you plan a party you get nervous that no one is going to show up?? that's how i've been feeling today!!! lol
this forum will be what we make of it ... ideas i have floating in my head are: 2 initial forums: general & current events (we can add more as we evolve), gallery, chat room ... just flying by the seat of my pants at the moment though! lol
alrighty ... back to planning!

This thread made me think of Mike Meyer's character Linda Richman in "Coffee Talk" on Saturday Night Live:

Wonderful idea Ladybug
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Looking forward to it.
My suggestion is that there be an option to have poll threads. There are Sift challenge ideas that I think would work great in the Coffee House.
Great idea, by the way! I, too, am looking forward to seeing this in action.
Until then, VideoSift's chatroom still works.

Are we talking about multiple threads on different subjects (like a regular forum) Or just a weekly sifttalk (open thread) that will get very long very quickly.
Dag, I think you do need to expand the sifttalk / forum a little bit, to have more than just one page and one type of sticky.
I think I've mentioned before we need on category for bugs/suggestions/ VS stuff. One for announcements/news/youtube news/ etc. One for check this out stuff. One for social chit-chat, random thoughts. One for contraversies like Jew/Arab, atheist/evangelicals, QM/everyone else, etc.
So, I'm guessing this will be another tab, like SiftTalk / CoffeeCorner / Playlists /etc.
That would be good, and welcome addition. I wonder if this will be regular standard forum? Or like another SiftTalk?
actually joe, this is an 'unofficial VS forum' ... and much like what you just described.
i've purchased a domain name for it and am currently in the process of formatting the board as we speak (type). there will be polls available and threads will consist of whatever people want to chat about.
there will be a permanent link to videosift and will complement it just nicely. i'm really looking forward to it as well!

I agree, we need categories for Sift Talk. Of course, I set my posts per page to "30", so things don't slide off the front as quickly as they used to.
Venti Almond Double Latte, please.
You rock, LB!
Yeah, sounds good.
I'll be off the general Sift radar, spenidng more than half my day at work for the next week or so but I'll wander in out of the cold soon enough. Keep the fireplace warm!
There'll be a fireplace, right?
this whole thread inspired this little gem. we gotta get this dude to do the coffee !

Nice idea LB
"I've purchased a domain name for it.."
Do you want contributions/chip-ins? I don't know what it cost you but I'd like to help any way I can.
and make mine a double-mocha
same here, LB
will there be a tv? gotta watch something.
Do we ACTUALLY get coffee? In a jiffy bag?
it's BYOC!
