    Clearly the answer is Spring/Fall Bash

    "I am interested in hearing what people want to see for future community events." What if we don't see a future for such events?

    @Machavity, I can't believe we never thought of that.

    @Mast If you can articulate a reason why any attempt at such an event would hurt the network or community in some way, that would probably be a useful answer. But if it boils down to individual preference, i.e. "I wouldn't be interested in it personally," less useful - not everyone will enjoy participation in everything we do, and that's all right.

    I can understand the desire for any new events to "have some tangible effect to improve the experience on the network." I would understand if that metric was applied in a selection between otherwise useful suggestions. I do think, however, that there might be some intangibles worth considering as well. The morale of the answer-writing user-base seems to have suffered a couple hits recently. Improving that with an otherwise merely fun event might not hurt and could be a useful investment in developer time. The developers might like to spend some time working on a project "for fun" themselves.

    I'm not the "big idea guy", so I don't really have any grandiose ideas, however, I think putting this question out there for people who do have the big vision to answer is an awesome thing. It is a good step to getting past Winter Bash, but should have been put out there sooner, IMHO. Commented Sep 28, 2023 at 15:57
  • I recall trying something unorthodox here. I like the idea of site-wide teamwork, such as an alien invasion, demanding that users make posts (at any site) about hippopotamuses, or something along these lines. Commented Oct 1, 2023 at 0:35
