New Boards?

[Daniel Tak]

King already suggested several boards to put, some of which I did recently. However, I was thinking that it would be nice to have a few more boards added here.

I have some board proposals:

-Writing board (where you can post your own writing)
-Role Playing board (where you can "role-play" with other members in your threads/posts)

Also, there are suggestions of a music and books forum (the books forum might have a little leeway in its description, as it could include short stories and comics).

I will probably be adding boards if I can get at least 5 supporters for each board. Music has 2 supporters and books has 4 supporters (including me). This is so that these added boards don't become dead instantly from lack of activity.

Please provide your opinion. ;D

Lastly, there are some boards which I do not think will work well with this forum -- A debate board (I have seen members fight like crazy in those boards), a spam board (already discussed this in a different thread), an advertising board where you advertise your own sites (this results in too many members joining the site and only posting once to post their website link), and any boards which take a current board in too much detail (for instance, a board specifically designed for Play Station 3 games).

I agree with ALL of the accepted threads posted, actually. It may aid me in one of my dreams to write novels/graphic novels

[Ezio]

I support all of them 2

debate boards are also a REALLY bad idea. I get pretty intense when I debate.
But I never take anything someone says during a debate personally, although I'm not sure they'd feel the same way.

Exactly, which is why I'm not going to add one. If you want a debate you can always do this in PM's. ;D

Anyway, it looks like we've got the 5 supporters necessary for the books forum (king, bostonfan, me, damnit, sirx) so I'll make one. This board will go underneath the "General" board.

We've got 3 for Writing (me, sirx, bostonfan), 3 for music (king, bostonfan, sirx), and 3 for role playing (me, sirx, bostonfan).

I support said boards

Advertising websites board is unnecessary, people could post sexual websites which are not allowed. <_<

I'd say a clan boards.

[Scarecrow]

clan boards?
That sounds like a good idea, actually. I think they should be PW protected, with a local moderator placed in charge of his or her clan.

[Ezio]

clan boards? wht r those?

[Scarecrow]

a clan would be a group of people who follow the same ideas united under a common banner. commonly seen in online games.

I think it would work great in conjunction with a roleplaying board.

[Underrated]

I support all three that Daniel thought of (music, writing and RPG). Clan boards... maybe.

[Ezio]

i still dont get wht a clan board is used 4.

[Underrated]

Guess you're gonna have to wait for sirxwankery to get on.... Let's just make those 3 other boards right now, since they'll probably see a lot of activity in them.

[Scarecrow]

I really can't think of any other way to explain it

[Ezio]

oh ok i guess i will have 2 wait and c if the board gets posted

[Underrated]

I'll do it right now as a matter of fact.

[Ezio]

ok thx

[Underrated]

Yeah- I made a new announcement.

I think we could have threads like those inside the RPG boards. (Just a suggestion.) You could have those be the "closed" RPG's where no outsiders other are allowed and the only ones allowed to post in threads are the members who were signed up originally (or any new acquisitions along the way).

Anyway, nice to see the extra boards added. I'll start posting in them right away.
