Many have asked for this forum to be created, and I too think it should be.. The 'War' posts have been flooding our General Discussion forum, and many people don't wish to keep seeing these threads.
If you wish to discuss anything, please keep it polite, and NO attacks, and no racist remarks will be allowed. All Normal Moderators will have full access to this forum as well. Just adding some general guidelines as well to Ziroc's post.
Thanks guys, ------------------ Ziroc™ Ironworks Webmaster www.tgeweb.com/ironworks [This message has been edited by Memnoch (edited 10-10-2001).] |

I for one feel that this is not a good idea, but since you are the webmaster, of course it is your choice. Just voicing my opinion!!! I guess General Discussion isn't general at all!

Personally think its a great idea, I sometimes want to post on what's happening in Afghanistan and sometimes I don't.
This will save time and effort and I'm a deeply lazy man at heart |

I'm behind this 100%. There has been a lot of on and off forum discussion about setting up a separate area for "serious" topics. This seems to be a perfect opportunity to try the experiment with posts related to this subject.
Give it a chance and see how it pans out. ------------------ Regards Mouse (Occasional crooner and all round friendly Scottish rodent) [This message has been edited by Mouse (edited 10-10-2001).] |

Dan, it's definitely worth a try. If it works, great and if not, we'll find out soon enough!

I would like to add a positive aspect (from someone who's not sure if this is the best solution yet): At least I don't have to filter through several pages of posts to find one of these now. I'd dare to post and occasionally have trouble finding the thread again if I went away for a while. Or see an intriguing post and want to see the reply. Now at least they are all grouped together.

Well...I'm still not entirely sure this is a good idea either. But, it'll defenitely be a good test run for the possibility of a Serious Discussion forum.
Even though I'm not in 100% agreement Ziroc, thanks for letting us stay in your romper room and not just booting us in the butt. ------------------ "In Memorium of those who are gone, and all those that bought our freedom with their hearts blood!" "May the Colors of Liberty never run" |

I think it is an excellent idea.
I hope it is eventually expanded into a forum for discussions of a more serious nature, since those sorts of things are apparently frowned upon by many of the general discussion members. This way they have absolutely no grounds for complaining about a thread that they don't approve of. [This message has been edited by Diogenes Of Pumpkintown (edited 10-11-2001).] |
