Are the forums useful during Defcon? If not, is there anything that can be changed to make them useful during con?
[background]
I don't use the forums at all during Defcon. Keeping them open has provided some contest people with access to content, like LoST @ con mystery contest, as people want to look up clues he provided online.
Maybe you have some ideas? Maybe you think something else could exist on the forums while Defcon is running.
We also tend to wrap up the forums in such a way that during Defcon, there are less spaces for users to post content. Should we leave the forums as open as they are now while Defcon is running, or stick with the more restrictive access?
[Me]
I think converge or Chris created Drunken Banter. That will go live during Defcon. I do like that as a forum for silliness and strangeness. Heck, I could even open it up for new users without the normal waiting period. This would mean spammers could have a field-day with it if they found it, but we can clean it up later.
