There are quite a lot of channels like that - the week I spent running around warning as many big projects as I could get hold of that there was clearly no way out seemed to help a lot, but of course there was still the problem of "who's actually online when the hammer drops to -execute- the planning people had done". It was kinda exhilerating watching practically the entire userbase move as one, but I'd really really rather not have to do it again :D

Still kind of amazes me that given the number of signatories I got nobody thought "hey, maybe this isn't going to work" but it turned into an excellent mutual support resource for those of us moving instead: https://gist.github.com/shadowcat-mst/998cea12794768bdb3da2d...
