[IMC-Boston-Editorial] new website emergency move (need feedback)

[Sofia JarrinT]

Hi Imcistas,

Ok, so hope that most editors have noticed how we're
being bogged down by hundreds of spam messages per
day, not to mention the few glitches on the site that
are no good:

- comments that can't be hidden forcing us to delete
comments that break our policy;
- trolls taking other people's names to post
right-wing propaganda;
- unverified email addresses;

Jon has been working hard on trying to control the
spam, but unfortunately it seems to be a general
problem with dada (the software used to run the
website) since there's a few IMCs in the US with the
same problem. Therefore, we contacted a few of our
past tech guys working with Boston IMC to try to focus
on launching our new web site running on drupal.
There's a team of about 4-5 people on it right now...
Let me know if you would like to be added to that list
of people...

Attached you will find a new banner for our new site.
I think everyone really liked it except the language
under the title which used to read: "A public media
outlet for the radical, accurate, and passionate
tellings of truth."  Mike mentioned an issue with it,
and I myself don't think it accurately represents what
we do...

I've changed that to say instead: "A collective of
independent grassroots journalists working
to challenge corporate media." I would like to know
what you guys think, and hopefully we can come to a
consensus for the language.

thanks! and peace,
sofia
