CAA Walkabout?

Talk about anything in here.

CAA Walkabout?

Postby Zarn Ishtare » Thu Jan 11, 2007 5:56 am

To explain, a Walkabout online in this context would be going to another forum with a bunch of people, sort of like an "e-vacation", or just branching out to meet new people. Tokyopop has tried it with some sucess, so I figured we might try it as well! This needn't be a massive thing, but it does seem rather interesting, so I think it's worth a try.


Now, the following questions:

Where should we go?

How long should we hang there?

Does anyone have any other suggestions?



For now, I'd suggest Anime Angels. It's a short trip, no traffic, near the beach...and besides, it's a fellow christian site (and the place where I got the idea, as Tokyopop did their walkabout there). So, who's interested?


Sign Up List For Walkabout:
1. Zarn Ishtare



P.S. I realize there are several people who hang out on both forums, but most people here don't go over to AA, and very few from AA come here (or so it seems.) So, that is the purpose for this. If this goes well, maybe we'll go somewhere else for our next vacations, but any fighting, and I swear I'll turn this internet right around! :P

Oh yeah, I saw the people from Tokyopop at AA, too. XD Anyways, I wouldn't have a problem with it I guess. I mean, I visit AA a few times a week, so it's not like I'd have to sign up or anything. I'm neutral on the subject, just as long as CAA doesn't go dead for that period of time. XD I mean, it's not like AA has a chat or anything. :lol:

Actually, I once heard of the phenomen elsewhere, though I cannot remember where: A group of people, nomads, moving from board to board, staying for a month or two, then moving on, like gypsies, picking up more people to leave with them. It's a rare thing, and one I'm not trying to emulate. However, expanding our camradrie with other forums can only be good, and besides that, it's AA we're going to for our first (unless anyone objects). From this test-run we'll see how this sort of thing goes, and then, if it works out well (I believe it will) perhaps we'll go elsewhere, like the Inverloch forums, Tokyopop, or suchlike. Anyway, glad to see you two signing up! I'll let everybody now when it begins. I'd like to get ten people in all, so we can really have a presence where we go, and maybe even introduce some more people to CAA!

Interesting... I've never heard of this kind of thing before.

Just be careful that you're not "stealing" people from other forums. They wouldn't look fondly on that. :)

I'm not going to be a big poster, but if you go to different forums as a group, I would be interested in reading where you all go.

You know, I hate to rain on your parade(s), but have you guys considered that you may be bringing tons of trolls to our door step?

I'm not saying you can't do it; outreach should be by far one of the key things you do with your life, online or not. And Jesus promised there would be persecution (if you can call troll waves that...I hesitate because I don't think they should be treated nearly as equal as being martyred). However, all I'm saying is to be cautious and make the best relationships possible so you don't cause us needless trouble.

Of course, thats why our first little trip is over to our sister site, A.A.


I think things will go well there, and hopefully we'll create more board comradrie, but I completely understand your point. For the time, I think, our walkabouts will be over to christian sites, and if things continue to go well, we'll see about other places. Thats a LONG way away however...


We'll be actively doing this from this Saturday till next, and then, we'll see about going somewhere else. I'm looking forward to the discussions on AA though.

I suppose it could bring trolls to us....although I think if we made sure to be polite that would lessen troll attacks.

Would you start a thread there telling what we are doing so we can all introduce ourselves on one page instead of one each? Also, could every body say what username they are using here?

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

...And thus CAA began to launch its own "troll waves" against other sites. Join us next time on the History of CAA as we discuss how this walkabout contributed to the start of World War 3.

Up next is the next installment of our miniseries on the history of French Taunting, "Silly English Knnnigget".
