Heh. No, this is a "project safety" move, and it has recently dropped in urgency, but this is still good info to know. There was a recent forum rule change at OT.com that I consider myself extremely likely to run afoul of, and I actually did run afoul of it within the first few hours of its implementation, earning myself one out of three strikes before banning at OT.com. I told myself that the second I hit two strikes, I would move the Project Threepio discussion thread, posting appropriate notices and referral messages to minimize confusion. I've also gotten the e-mail addresses of a lot of my collaborators so that I can work with OT.com members through back channels.
I don't want to be banned, obviously, but I recognize that the nature of the new rule, combined with my nature as a user, don't mix well, and I don't want to leave the project stranded over at OT.com without some clear way forward.
Since then, I have had my first strike rescinded, and I'm trying to consciously avoid reading -1's threads like the plague, for fear of reflexively welcoming him back when he posts. So maybe I'll last a while over there yet. There's a big difference between one and two strikes to go before I have to move my thread.
