Looks like I got up before noon (PST) on a Saturday for NOTHING!
But I hope next week works out. I would love as many interested pitters to participate as possible.

Too busy to reach out to people who are doing your show for free. A show you make money on.

The link he PM's to participants will be for them to join the hangout (sharing their audio & video input, with option to mute either audio or visual*). The view-only, where the hoi polloi will watch the live stream of their conference call & where it'll then be posted for posterity, will have a different url at his live stream youtube channel.HoneyWagon wrote:What will the link BE btw?

Oh, gah. Ignore the *. It was for "or both*" (muting both audio & video) but apparently I took that part out.

That's pretty much it. There are two urls one that people can join and one for watch only.
Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
Sargon, you do the Slymepit wrong ;)
How it Works
The Slymepit is essentially one endless meta-comment thread in Periodic Table of Swearing - The Undead Thread. For convenience and performance reason one endless thread is sometimes closed and a fresh one is opened, but the content just goes on in a stream-of-conciousness fashion. What you normally do: you go to the Slymepit, hit the tiny page icon under "Last post" in the first forum row (Periodic Table of Swearing - The Undead Thread) and you're where the action is. Think live-stream.
Most people seem to read from where they were the last time, and play catch-up. If it's hopeless and too many pages were produced in the meantime, you may also skip. Nobody reads everything. There is a kind of quoting-natural-selection going on. Stuff that's quoted and commented upon stays fresh for longer. Other stuff is just washed away. There are usually 2-3 discussions in parallel. Juxtaposition of things is part of the fun.
The forum is almost unmoderated. Illegal things, and doxing is strictly verboten. It's also accepted practice that users keep the hygiene for their own experience by using the ignore function. You anyway ignore things that don't seem interesting at a glance, for which you get a hang of after a while.
Newbies and other questionable characters occasionally open other threads somewhere else, which get ignored by almost everyone. Some of them are halfway disorganized attempts of collecting information that we find useful, e.g. the SJW media thread. There's metagtons of material, but in our nefarious ways and as super villains of the atheist-skeptics movement, we haven't gotten around and turn most of it into nukes for the most part. I think you and Internet Aristocat/Mr Metokur are still beginners in the SJW ways, but you're catching up. It's interesting to see other people notice similar patterns.
Steersman is a contrarian bot we currently test in the forum. He still has some bugs and a couple of rather ecccentric ideas he always brings up, such as his non-standard take on slurs even our resident linguists and other academics call into question. Repetitive topics few people find interesting enough are also outsourced to special threads, to prevent that they take over the Endless Thread. There are also a million and one memes, catch phrases and other jargon you get after a while. :bjarte:
Also, nobody represents the Slymepit. We disagree on many things and are proud of it. If there's one thing, the people here seem to respect and like each other for other reasons than claptrap comments that are agreeable. The one thing you can't be here is being an unfunny idiot. We even treat the more eccentric individuals well, if they don't overdo it too much. It's also the only place where you can see e.g. shitposting and sophisticated discussions about DNA sequencing or whatever sciencey topics side by side. But what do you expect when the original gang found endogenous retrovirus (ERV) an interesting subject?
A Short History
There was Elevatorgate. Which was the CFI Talk. Not whatever else people tell you, or claim on Wikipedia. This is essentially the "gamers are dead, and atheists are misogynists pigs anyway" moment.
PZ Myers sided with Watson (as he wont to do), Abbie Smith (ERV) however had her own idea. Since PZ Myers and Rebecca Watson are SJWs, you can't disagree in the vicinity of SJ topics. The disagreement originally was about form, not so much what she said, i.e. not content, but SJWs would have none of it.
Before he moved to FTB, PZ Myers comment section used to be also on ScienceBlogs, and the communities had a lot of overlap between Pharyngula (PZs) and Abbie's (ERV). Watson's CFI talk was polarising. The SJWs would gravitate towards PZ's side, and he then also moderated discussions. And the people critical of them would move over to ERVs. Broadsides were fired and Abbie had the smaller ship, and sank. PZ Myers called people he didn't like "slime" and ERV's endless thread was thus named the "slime pit" by him. The good feminists, who wanted to make the movement more friendly to women also blackballed Abbie eventually. But you know, SJWs and irony (or hypocrisy). He then projected his women-issues onto everyone else and claimed people had a problem with the uppity woman Rebecca Watson -- as if that was the problem. Long story short, the Endless Thread moved (AFAIK after bullying from Myers' gang) to its own place, and embraced the name given by PZ. That's this place.

Yup pretty much. You can even set it up so that the link appears before the show starts.

For watchers - the livestream will look like a regular youtube video, but with a chat window alongside.
If you joined 15 minutes late - they would be in mid conversation - but you could click back and start it from the beginning (However, if you did this the chat window would be out of sync).
Afterwards, the livestream will be uploaded as a normal youtube video to the channel. As far as I know the chat logs are not saved (and they are typically filled with spam / shit-posting anyway).
Others have suggested 3rd party software for the Slymepitters to do their own chat in - or maybe just have a forum here where people could live post during the chat.
Anyway people have a week to think about it.
Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
Btw, my website has a dedicated Slyme Pit chatroom. Hasn't been used much, but it's there. (video and/or text chat).

Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
Apologies if Ive contibuted to the stuff up. Basically I was ready to go into the office at 7.30 am on a Sunday as home is not a great environment. Thats a 6.30am wakeup with required discussion the previous day.
I wanted a clear green light before ploughing that field. At midnight it still wasn't clear so I hit the sack.

Do your stuff, and anybody willing to help will help.
In my own personal opinion, it's a good thing that you take some interest in the Pit, even if it comes a bit late. And if you can make a bit of cash out of this meetup, all the better.

Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
I will admit that I miss the good ol' wrestling matches.
One of my producers is a big fan, and while at his place back in 2009, he had me watch about 4 hours of the Undertaker's matches. I almost didn't fall asleep.

Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
He is still a Slymepitter though. And the fact we have people who do act as devil's advocate is possibly a good thing in showing our views do not coincide - the "no one speaks for the pit" can't be any clearer when we have people who speak in opposition to each other.
I will however acquiesce to the desires of our fascist leader - Dam10n?

In this case we really can't say "no one speaks for the pit" because

The original request was as follows:
"I'm interested in doing a livestream with some of the veteran members of the Slyme Pit. I'd like to know how and why Slyme Pit exists and what happened leading up to it in the atheist community.
I think it'd be useful for people outside of the community to know what happened, so if you guys could agree on some kind of delegation that I can host on my channel to interview, in a week or so's time, that would be fantastic."
To me that sounds like a request for long term pitters who were around at the start, to discuss the history of the pits inception and what role it continues to play in the atheist community.
That is not speaking "for" the pit.
We each may have preferences as to who is a good historian of the pit or who understands the SJW scene in some detail.
We may also have people in mind that have an anti-slymepit agenda and who we personally feel may have a slant on the pit that makes them non-ideal in that sort of discussion.
For example, both oolon and cunt were slymepit veterans.
Who amongst us would choose them for a panel to explain the slymepit in an impartial way, to people who know nothing about this place.
It is wrong for someone to be foisted into the panel with ZERO discussion beforehand.
It would be better to call off the interview until we can get a group that has some degree of agreement and not one that someone has chosen out of the blue- THAT is what I would call speaking for the pit - and that is wrong.

Well shit folks we're falling apart. ^_^
Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
There wasn't exactly an avalanche of volunteers now was there?
In fact the whole thing nearly keeled over with a yawn. My personal pref and expectation was always that Dick would speak to history, we needed a comic, a veteran and a SJ-scientist.
What we ended up with was a small mix of people prepared to (or able to) go on who met some or none of these characteristics.
Go figure.

Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
Let's not tear ourselves apart over an interview.
We have proposed some sort of voting by counting nominations, and deLurch has tallied up the names of who was been given support, but many people who were nominated weren't available and ultimately it came down to who was willing and available, as it often happens.
This isn't a matter of who is an "official" spokesman/spokeswoman for the Pit, but of who is willing to shoot the breeze and make us known. There have been some people who are no longer able to take part in the hangout and they've been replaced by someone else.
Now if it this is a big deal, we can discuss it further, but we can't pretend that "no one speaks for the Pit" if the idea of Damion being on the hangout is an issue. If we want to propose an "official delegation" of sorts then it's fine, but availability and willingness are still key factors.

As a Septic, I'm converting your date to 2016-02-13.
Brive1987, ERV, Kirbmarc, rayshul - please also confirm.
SofA - are you happy with five people or should we do fewer?
Also, what is the mechanism for joining the live stream? I've never done this before.

Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
Ha. The Pit is so anarchist, it can't even do a clusterfuck right. (Which for best results, requires a ball pit and Heina Dhadabhoy.)
Re: Greetings, Slyme Pit
Well fuck. If Brive is shooting for a total cluster fuck, I might as well throw my hat in the ring to replace Damion. The only reason I did not volunteer is because I was not nominated.Lsuoma wrote:Um. I'm NOT happy with Damion doing this. He has repeatedly tried to speak out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.Brive1987 wrote:Ok so 9pm GMT 13/02/2016.
Rayshul, Kirbmarc and Me + Damion
There were gaps. They remain unfilled. It would be great if ERV was there!
Please make sure he doesn't do this.
Remember, Sargon only wanted 2-3 people. We don't have to fill with all of the slots of 4-5 people. In fact Sargon preferred it.
I think Rayshul, Kirbmarc & Brive alone are a good set.
