Date: February 4th, 2011 2:47 AM Author: Bistre High-end Round Eye Mother we'll get a poster or two to act as admins. people here can submit articles (run it on wordpress and you can just create a user for everyone who wants to contribute), articles get approved by the admins and published.
anonymous emails to political blogs and news sites. we got some smart, well-written motherfuckers on here that could contribute very high quality content. dollars to donuts it gets picked up, especially if it has strong rhetoric like i'm sure it will. and there's a way to make it all anonymous (short of a subpoena). |

anyone worked with any of these companies before? the last one takes liberty reserve, which is an anonymous payment service. i didn't check the other two.

I'm butt retentive like that. Just my honest take. I'm not a prose master man. I think we need to have some sort of joint ownership or whatnot. I mean, I doubt this will actually go anywhere, but on the off chance it does, we don't want the partially-outted doods who work on the site to be trying to fuck each other over for top billing so they can get laid by Veronica Belmont or Felicia Day or geek girl du jour. |

Date: February 4th, 2011 4:23 AM Author: Bistre High-end Round Eye Mother Subject: marketing ideas - just by being birthed on xoxo, i'm 90% sure we could get Elie to give it a mention on AboveTheLaw.
- if we start attacking political candidates, we could get coverage from all kinds of political blogs. need to really attack them though, with the kind of rhetoric an anonymous blog allows.
- you wait a couple weeks, then figure out what blogs have mentioned that BusinessWeek article by checking its backlinks. email them / comment on their post. you do this for any article about how boomers are bad or how the youth are fucked.
- create a Facebook page, give away a "Fuck Boomers" bumper sticker or something to anyone who clicks "Like". run Facebook ads targeting college kids.
- gather comprehensive jobs data. like the best, bar none, collection of data on youth employment rates (from the bureau of labor, census.gov, etc.). create a resource center page on the site for journalists. email it to every journalist who has ever written about generational issues.
other ideas? |

Date: February 4th, 2011 9:53 AM Author: Dashing set pocket flask Okay, a few concepts I kind of like--question is whether they're Googleable (i.e., we want something unique that if someone Googles it, it's the first hit; not something too common).
I like something along the lines of "Rake" or "Raked" or "Rent," all from a similar family.
A "rake" (or "rakehell") is a person of style but loose morals, as youth are undone in contemporary society; also, youth have been "raked" over the coals by the elderly.
"Rent" is something torn in two, as youth have been torn from opportunity; additionally, "rent" is symbolic of a non-ownership society for youth, who lack the resources to purchase.
Another couple of concepts: ambulate, or wander, or moil--some concept of wandering about restlessly with no particular destination (both for youth, and for the multifarious subjects of the blog); "moil" includes some definitions like "wallow in the mire," "work hard," and "harass." |

Here's what I think. I really like the "dead on the vine" name, it's a solid image of the idea we're trying to convey.
Also, I'm opposed to the idea of bumper stickers or other things with slogans like "fuck boomers" I think it just comes off as raging against the machine, and the goal should be to garner support and understanding for exactly how fucked this generation is. Let the other side pound the rhetoric. we've got facts.
A suggestion would be something like a link to that businessweek article, with a witty caption, an intro into the article, and as long as commentary as the article requires. |

Date: February 4th, 2011 12:04 PM Author: jet bat-shit-crazy hall that's a good idea, but i really think we need to generate some content before spending too much time on this too many projects are just doods going "hey lets' be badass and have a mission statement, decide on a URL, etc" instead of focusing on generating some content first we need 3-4 good screeds imo before worrying about 90% of what we've worried about ITT of course i'm no better my suggestion is that some of our good writers pen a screed about econ/pensions/youth issues/banking failures/whatever and poast ITT and we edit and see what we like |

|
Date: February 4th, 2011 1:25 PM Author: Bistre High-end Round Eye Mother wow i'm surprised this has resonated with so many of you. awesome.
first things first, we need a name. i really think it's gotta take an irreverent tone. that's the only way we get young people to read it, and it provides a great marketing angle. look at the Law School Transparency guys - too "legit". they have a killer angle (law schools are scams, and we can prove it), but their coverage has been limited.
now, the name itself doesn't have to be offensive. just short. Dead on the Vine is good, but it might be a tad too long. maybe not though. if the name is tame like that, though, the tagline shouldn't be.
also, be careful of being too clever with the name. we want mass appeal. i think the Lost Soles - In Search of Bootstraps above is 180, but too few people will understand it. at least, that's my opinion.
the tone and theme is rage. we're fucking pissed. boomers fucked it up, here's how they've fucked it up, and here are ideas to fix things while fucking them back.
it's gotta have a strong theme like this. and, if our theme was high quality, smart content with a message but attempting to be convincing (like, say, an Atlantic article), it won't go anywhere.
ok so, theme and tagline. there are a lot of ideas above. let's try to settle on one today. also, there needs to be a .org domain available for whatever name you pick. i think we should roll with .org, because it makes us sound like a cause, a non-profit. |
|
Date: February 4th, 2011 1:31 PM Author: Bistre High-end Round Eye Mother also, why we need a name first: we've got to just get it up and start posting. can't do that until we have a domain name. we're all type A people here and want it to be organized and well thought out and have regular columns and shit, but it'll never launch if we plan it all out. trust me.
we make anyone who wants to be an author one. with wordpress, you can limit authors to only be able to contribute / edit their own content, and then to publish it needs to approved by an admin. we could have 50 authors in the beginning if we want. the idea is a grassroots thing. |

|
Date: February 4th, 2011 1:35 PM Author: Bistre High-end Round Eye Mother i think we gotta run with whatever the thing is actually going to be from day 1. i'm telling you, if we say "here, let's try it out on this domain, test it out, see what the content looks like, organize it" etc. the real thing will never launch. we'll all have conflicting opinion's about what's going on at thesoloattorney.com, and migrating over to a different domain down the road won't ever happen.

Date: February 4th, 2011 1:32 PM Author: chestnut trip legal warrant windowlicker it needs to be lost soles you stupid piece of shit. now get on it.
people will understand "in search of bootstraps" and if not you just throw a goddam cartoon character up there with worn out shoes.
Framing it as "in search of bootstraps" automatically steers your blog in a positive direction--it makes the focus of the blog not on bashing boomers but on trying to get our generation to work in spite of them.
The second will obviously have much greater traction in the media than a blog devoted to bashing boomers. |

|
Date: February 4th, 2011 1:38 PM Author: Bistre High-end Round Eye Mother i don't know that it will obviously have greater traction. i think the negative angle of bashing boomers taps into how pissed off our generation is. look at that rally Stewart and Colbert had - that happened because it was a negative angle (even though he concluded it with a sappy speech). combine the negative angle with irreverence / cursing, the willingness to say shit that others won't, and i think that's the theme to go with.
look at what gets play in the media: it's all negative shit. scandals, bad things happening, how this or that person or entity is trying to screw someone over. when's the last time you saw a highly rated news show that had a positive spin?
edit: we want boomers to show up, read what has been written, and get fucking angry at us. we want those comments like "you're all lazy and don't work hard enough". if the blog is about finding jobs for young people, they're just going to read it and think "oh, that's good."
edit 2: that's not to say i'm against the name. the name is good. ya'll vote or something and decide. i'm just talking about the overall theme / tone. |
|
Date: February 4th, 2011 1:46 PM Author: Dashing set pocket flask Theme/tone can be had, "Lost Soles" fits nicely. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1553939&forum_id=2#17212155) |
|
Date: February 4th, 2011 2:41 PM Author: chestnut trip legal warrant windowlicker man what the fuck is this shit
the whole point is to refocus the debate away from being lazy kids who dont want to work. the boomer bashing in that instance comes off as self-indulgent and jealous. thats how boomers want to phrase this generational divide--they work hard, we bitch and couchsurf. ihateboomers.com or wemad.com just sounds petulant and wont be taken seriously.
by setting it up as a blog devoted to exposing the truth about who wants to work but cant because we have been fuckt by the boomers, we draw sympathy and curiosity into our position. the boomers then, rather than dismissing us as lazy, will be defensive and then the flame will be on. |

|
Date: February 4th, 2011 1:44 PM Author: Wonderful shrine wagecucks pretty much it's what we're pissed about and what we're looking for, and it's the perfect insult re: boomers, we just want what they had, the ability to even get our foot in the door then pull ourselves up.
I'm not really a huge boomer hate like ya'll but I think the name works, it's for sale see how much it is. Spend 50-100 bucks on the name if you actually want to devote some time, imo. I'm sure you can purchase it anonymously if you try.

Date: February 4th, 2011 1:49 PM Author: plum vivacious lodge alpha Just vetting ideas brother, but I don't know how hard we should push on the tone/theme being rage. Yeah, WE are pissed OFS, but I wonder if we should be more level headed in the approach.
I think a satire/ironic approach would work well, even a little schticky, coupled with a strong analysis of exactly why we are fucked. I just don't know how much traction we would get if we just say, hey boomers you fucked everything up and we know it! We should say in a mocking way, to their face, with a smile.
For example, responding to a guy's comment from the businessweek article who said, this generatino is lazy and just complains when it faces a little adversity, and doesn't know what hard work is etc etc etc. Gimme a little bit and I could FUCK THAT GUY UP without turning it into a finger-pointing bitchfest.
I guess my notion runs similar to firejoemorgan.com.
edit - imo the biggest focal point has to be an original and witty perspective that people enjoy reading and look forward to reading more of.

Date: February 4th, 2011 2:12 PM Author: contagious pea-brained dragon site Right now I think cleverdood and attidood are the top posters showing the most interest. They need to recruit on & off the board to create a group of initial contributors. Then everyone in that group needs to say what kind of contributions they would be interested in making. From there they could identify the common thread to come up with a unifying theme, and the domain would follow from that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1553939&forum_id=2#17212315) |

while i don't necessary agree with how they view things, posters like :D and TBF are the best candidates, as their straightforward but amusing and typically well-reasoned writing (when :D isn't spewing pure flame anyway) are the most likely to resonate with an audience reading this type of blog. |

Date: February 4th, 2011 2:39 PM Author: contagious pea-brained dragon site "this isn't a fucking literary arts blog."
LOL, who the fuck said? You? Check the thread and you'll see that some people are thinking that this is a blog just about how boomers fucked the later generations over economically, and some think it extends to how the boomers fucked the later generations over generally, and some think it's even broader than that. Some think that it's a blog to bitch, some think it's a blog about political action, and some think it's a blog about cultural rebirth. Depending on the interests of potential contributors, it could be any or all things of these things. That's why you've got to figure out the contributors, then figure out the exact theme and content, and then get the rest organized. |

Date: February 4th, 2011 2:21 PM Author: splenetic business firm Alright, before this becomes dead in the water, how about we decide on a principle outline or "fact" sheet that'll be available immediately to whoever visits the site. This will list all of the grievances that the younger generations should have against the boomers and the policies, that way everyone immediately knows where we're coming from. Then maybe these things can even be partitioned so that individual blog posts will relate back to the ideas.
Something like: -Entitlement spending and why it is screwing us -Current state of tuition prices and non-dischargeable loans -unemployment and underemployment -Union practices that shit on new people entering the field -Misdirection when it comes to education
