Clarification

Yes, GT really is going away.  I cancelled the domain and ... have absolutely no idea when the site is going to stop coming up.  But, yes, the domain's cancelled.  I've written our host and told them we're not renewing.  It's just a matter of time.

Yes, the Koicha site is a sure thing.  I'm trying to get an outline for it on paper and will be getting in touch with folks I'd like to mod/admin the various parts of the site.  I'll be in touch with folks for a pow-wow.  (If you were a GT mod/admin, chances are good -- excellent, really -- that I'll ask you to mod/admin Koicha.  Please feel free to refuse if it doesn't interest you.  No feelings will be hurt.)

No, I am not comfortable discussing publicly exactly what the Koicha site will entail.  Probably because I don't know for sure yet.

The target date for the Koicha launch is sometime in December.  Date will be narrowed down as more gets done on it.

No, Koicha will not be a GT clone.  But, as Koicha is a kind of green tea, that should be hint enough that it won't be radically different.

Suggestions, as always, are welcome. :) 

More Koicha News/Musings

Hokay.  I've got ... something resembling an outline scratched out.

The list of fandoms (no more will be added for now):

Bleach
Fullmetal Alchemist
Furuba
Inuyasha
Naruto
Slayers

Here's what I'm planning.  Each fandom will have one administrator.  That administrator will choose her moderators. 

Unfortunately, Tora-kun is not going to be able to build the entire thing from the ground up.  He'd love to, but time does not permit.  He is more than willing to help in any way possible, but he can't do it all like he did with GT.  He's going to do quite a bit, but not all of it. So, if you would like to be involved in creating the site, or if you are interested in adminning a fandom section, please comment here. 

I realize this is pretty unorthodox, but... well, it's a pretty unorthodox plan for a site, when you get right down to it. 

Want to help?  Then roll up your sleeves and dig in.

If you would like to participate, let me know.  If you want to be considered for adminning, mention which fandom you'd like to admin (am anticipating several people wanting to admin for the same fandom -- just work with me here), and if you have anything resembling l337 skillz, be they art skillz, programming skillz, Photoshop skillz, list them please. Comments will be screened for my own nefarious purposes.

Please only comment if you mean it.  Enthusiasm and energy are both great, but without dependibility, they're kind of useless. 

OMG CUTE Pet-Spammity

I never would've believed it in a hundred million years.

I'm playing fetch with Kisa.

Yes, really.

FETCH.

With a cat.

WTF.
