What are Gawker Media Open Forums?
Gawker Media Open Forums are unique pages built up by you, the readers. Approved commenters can invent a #hashtag and host their own threads. Each site also has an unfiltered forum that serves as a defacto readers’ lounge: Deadspin – #duan Gawker – #crosstalk Gizmodo – #whitenoise io9 – #observationdeck Jalopnik – #offtopic Jezebel – #groupthink Kotaku – #speakup Lifehacker – #openthread Commenters can make their own spaces outside of moderated posts for discussions, investigations, live-blogs, and spirited debate. This is where you can stray off-topic and hold court with friends and foes. Just make a comment and include a unique #hashtag in the text to generate your own forum. Don’t forget that any content you post in #tag pages or tell us in #tips will be public. #tag pages and tips that we particularly like may receive front-page promotion.
