Actually, I'm kind of surprised how many pages are cross linking the slashdot post.
 
Another cool bit from our friends in Sweden.

No one seems to be using the Thank the Media thread, anymore.

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

I've been throwing a few in, but the ones on tap, today, don't really match the significance of the ones that now have their own threads. I'm not worried about it if you aren't.

The MMORPG.com thing comes and goes. It's tied to forum activity. It wasn't there one time I looked but was the next.

The responses have mostly what folks expected on slashdot.

The crosslinking isn't surprising to me, for the same reason I was excited enough to make a Slashdot thread. Slashdot has a reader base much higher than any of the gaming outlets that we've hit on (3.7 million viewers a month according to wikipedia). It isn't a gaming publication, it is a popular tech publication.

This is not to say that game publications aren't still important, but Slashdot is significantly more mainstream and will get a lot more views from people who might play games but are not "gamers" in the sense that they'll read gaming publications.

I didn't mean to highjack the thank the media thread.

I like to think that we all understand at this point, to thank the media. However, from this point on, if it'll make things easier I have no problems taking it on whenever someone posts a seperate thread for the press we get. It's what, a few seconds of my time to take it to the Media thread and remind people?

Whenever we see these big deal postings, we're always going to get a bit excited. We want everyone to see it, so it's natural to want to post a new thread. Especially when it's things like Slashdot. Heck, even Tony did this.

I'm not complaining. It was meant more as a "kids these days" moment. The Korea Times, slashdot, and NYPost pieces deserve their own threads.

OK, the second was the one I saw. The first is garnering a more positive response.
