Well, it might be too late for many people to make plans, but not everybody. And for those few, it might be a great opportunity.
I also think even if folks can't make plans, they'd feel better if they know about now rather than just find out about it afterward. (Hurt feelings can be easy to come by here…)
I don't know how you could make an effective announcement, though, without putting a new post in the index of each board. Or at least the "main" ones -- Babble, Psych, Social, Alternative… (I forget now how the traffic reports ranked them.)
I'm sure I'm not the only person who usually skips over the top of the page, where the introductory information is. If you put an announcement there, I think it would probably get overlooked for a while.
I suppose anybody could put a few posts around about it (as long as they didn't run afoul of the don't-post-in-multiple-places rule).
Thanks for considering this, Bob! :-)
