Should Arpegi have its own subreddit?

[CarolineJohnson]

Okay, so I was on Reddit and got this really neat idea: eliminate the spam topic and make a private subreddit in place of it.


Pros:

• Reduced load time, because there will no longer be multiple images, gifs, and videos trying to load at the same time on one page
• If Arpegi is down, it could be announced in the subreddit so we're not left wondering if it's really down or not
• Subscribe to the subreddit, posts appear in your Reddit front page

Cons:

• You'll need yet another account to add to your list of accounts if you don't already have one
• Not everyone can view Reddit on their phone (if you prefer to Arpegi on your phone, I mean)
• Not everyone likes Reddit

What do you guys think? Should it happen? Shouldn't it?

Eliminating the spam thread?
1. Why?
2. Arpegi needs it o.o

Also:

• Not everyone likes Reddit

This applies to me.
I wouldn't like to see our spam thread on Reddit.

I have nothing against the creation of the subreddit though.

A subreddit for a forum sounds counter-intuitive.

I don't see why we shouldn't give it a shot, I mean I don't see how it could make anything worse. We're kinda shooting from ground at this point.

There's not much in the spam thread other than text and youtube videos most of the time, so I don't think loading time's much of an issue.

If you think Arpegi is down, then all you have to do is contact one of the admins or one of the members who have an admin's contact for confirmation. Since the current community is pretty tight-knit, I don't think this is much of an issue either, for now at least. There's also the option of using http://www.isup.me/ for confirmation instead, though I'm not sure of the reliability.
