Someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that the idea behind attracting "external" submitters is to bring new blood to the forums in the hopes that they will become regular Eratosphereans themselves. In that sense it remains an in-house thing, but is merely inviting houseguests.
