Hobbes announcing new threads

[Copper]

It's an interesting idea but as TankGirl, KevinFlynn and shadowbuild have already said, I could only support it if it was a separate channel. Adding it to existing channels would add a lot of clutter and would cause a lot of grief in some channels such as intros.

Personally I wouldn't want it in existing channels because it well.. would be spam-ish. If go to the help forum to see help posts, area51 to see GA's and so forth. And don't want to be force fed those if I am in a different channel. But if there is sufficient interest, I don't see a problem with having a new channel that announces threads. I have no idea how popular it might be. But I would oppose adding it to the existing main, intros, et al channels. And as Kevin said, lotto is a huge draw for the main channel - we don't want to move that.

Yeah good suggestion.
Leave all the spam work to Hobbes.

Great Idea, But as others have said I wouldn't want his to be implemented in of the current channels. If they created a dedicated channel e.g. #announcements... Then I would support it. I would personally use the channel.
