So I take the quality of this post along with this statement to indicate LW is not being friendly enough. I think we're currently losing more than we're gaining by being discouraging to newbies and lurkers. One suggestion I have that is probably unrealistic would be integrating the LW chatroom into the main site somehow so that people could get to it via a link from the front page. Chat feels like much less of a commitment than posting to even an open thread.
OP: good post. Don't worry about not being "up to snuff."
Thanks :)
I'll just say the intimidation factor for me stems more from my own utter lack of scientific knowledge than any unfriendliness on your guys' part. A visible chat room would definitely be a nice feature though!
I do not use it, but I found these links in wiki:
Yes, but that is many clicks and button presses away. Making it a one click process would funnel lots of lurkers there where they could ask questions or talk about posts in a less permanent way.
