I think opposition comments are fine. Plus, seeing as we're not the center of attention, we could probably benefit from the conversation.

Re: Couple administrative changes:

1. Turned comment moderation on. That means, a moderator will have to approve comments before they appear on the blog. Taking tidowave's lead on this. Admins, I'm going to set up automatic forwarding of comments pending notification to your inboxes. That means, you'll start receiving emails telling you comments are awaiting approval. Drop me a note if you don't want these emails.
2. Because we now have an IG friend in tidowave, and because only one of my fellow bloggers has responded to my request to be a Friend of The Effect, I'm going to unlist my blog and unfiction as Friends. Better to avoid the appearance that I'm trying to drive traffic to my personal blog and to be honest, I really don't want to be in the position to tell people their blog doesn't belong as a Friend.
Sorry, I picked up a seasonal job for what I thought was to be mere personal amusement and now I've spent the last several days in a row being whipped and fed dog food, so I've been a crappy admin. ANYWAY, this is not LJ.
1. No prob. I'm one of those email freaks who's addicted to the New Email chime, so that's fine.
2. I never said prior, but I chose to not write a blurb for my CF blog because it's just way too weird and BSy to be chilling out with The Effect. I never saw a problem with the Friends of the Effect including your site, and I consider the Unf links pretty much a necessity - anything up to stopping short of a big banner that says "O HAY WE'RE PLAYER-RUN."
My only meager worry is still that I haven't seen a real sure fact to tell me that tidowave is IG. I buy it, it looks legit, but I've still got the skeptical hat on. But that can't hurt The Effect - if it's another player run, hey, alliance. If it's legit, along with Whistleblower, nifty.

New post up in response to Slusho!'s commercial contest: http://tagruato.blogspot.com/2007/12/sad-nonprofit-contest-of-sorrow.html
Otherwise (and I know I'm jumping the gun here), what do you all think about The Effect going missing. First one member. Then two. Then, if we're having fun by then, The Effect making a U-Turn and becoming a fan of all things Tagruato? Almost as if Tagruato came after The Effect and disappeared its members, but not before gaining control of their little website...
If we're not having fun, by then, we could just end it with a hurried, but incomplete last post.

I don't think suggesting that IG entities have control is good. That's just too gamejack-like. The Effect lives IU (in universe) but intentionally OOG, but if you start posing that it's been taken over by Tagruato you are effectively construing it as being IG. That's a bad thing. I'd be more interested if we created our own IU pro-Tagruato group in opposition to The Effect. Something suitable would be that group complaining to blogspot.com that the defamatory nature of The Effect makes them unworthy of the tagruato user name, and that blogspot revoked it and the opposition takes it over.
Of course The Effect wouldn't sit still for that, and would create a new site...

yeah i agree with that.
i think we should wait and see though cause this thing could really pick up in the weeks leading up january 18th. making our own construed storylines kind of pointless. maybe we start the blog wars after the movie... keep this little community alive if the PM's abandon it.

Lol, I know it's late, but I have a picture submission for The Effect. Tell me if you like it.

It could be used as an "intro" page like the one in TIDOwave.com, but
hmm I'm not sure if u can do that in blogspot.
anyways... I like it.

not to criticize, but to me, since that was taken from TIDO, it makes it look more like the cause rather then the effect (you know, with the claws and everything)
other then that its pretty good

Going to be out of pocket for the most part for a few weeks. I trust y'all can manage The Effect without me. Also rearranged 11808 a bit to make it more useful in my majority absence. If something comes up (can't imagine what, but it's still the correct thing to say), email me. Stay frosty.

Just to let you guys know, there are many forum users on a forum i frequent thinking that The Effect Blog is in fact run by Paramount.
Maybe you should put a disclaimer (something small) on it so that these people are not barking up the wrong telegraph pole.

You'll notice that under the Friends menu it lists unFiction.
Point this out to your friends. uF operates as OOG in all such CF. If this 'other forum' is IMDB, I can imagine some of them are probably convinced uF is actually a conspiracy fabricated to support this movie too...

its not imdb, but a lesser popular cloverfield fan forum.
They are a bunch of halfwits who probably didn't see it, me being one of the brighter ones. So will point it out thanks.
