One of our new members, OrionsByte (HIII), had an idea in the discussion thread that I think really warrants some thought. The idea was a way to ake fight club asynchronous, so it works for everyone's schedules, but that's always been fraught with problems: People have advance notice of topics, can see other people's ideas, etc.
I think I figured out a way to make it work. If I set up a gmail account for Fight Club, I can set a vacation message with the topics. When you're ready to play, simply email the account, and the topics will be immediately emailed back. From the time you send the email, you'll have the normal 1 hour plus straggler time to submit your photos.
They are submitted by emailing that address. You would still host them yourself, and the email would be:
This allows me to write a script to automate posting everyone's photos so it doesn't turn into a huge chore
What do you think?
