What additional forums/sections would you like to see?

What happened to the choice for 'naughty' stories sub-forum??

Oh, I agree. That was part and parcel of Thirdwind's post which I quoted in my response. It seems it's here to stay, and be that the case, then it needs to handled correctly. We have enriched uranium in the U.S., but we don't let people keep it in their living rooms.

 

If there was an option on the poll for a debate section, I would probably say that but no such luck. Anyway, thats what I want. And perhaps, you can expand the roleplay forum to include subsections for OC, OOC, IC etc. I'm confused where to place my RPG character profile threads. Those would be my suggestions, thankyou!

 

Hey @Low, RP Mod chiming in here.

Unlike many traditional RP forums ours has no persistent games and so no dedicated section for player profiles. Instead, we have a main forum for game threads and 'in character' content (IC) and a sub forum for discussion threads of games where we make our 'out of character' (OOC) posts. Character profiles are posted in either the first few posts of the game thread, after the rules and before the in character content starts, or in the discussion thread. The GM defines where he/she wants them in the first game post, along with the rules and such.

To keep things tidy, we limit open and general discussion to our 'RP General Chat' thread, and give each game a dedicated thread for out of character discussion. Instead of Open Call (OC) threads we have a 'RP Kickstarter', where you can solicit players before going live with your game.

Everyone is welcome to check out our 'RP Welcome and Rules' if they want to learn more, or to jump into the 'RP General Chat' if they have more questions. You are even welcome to PM (now called 'start a conversation') me directly and I'd be glad to help however I can.

 

Awesome!

I can think of a few names: A.Y.O.R., The Ring, The Cage, Thunder Dome...

 

Just noticed the War and History, Young Adult and Flash Fiction subforums! Thanks Daniel..

 

Dangit! Gotta get that age-lock in place so the adults can work!

 

I would suggest, The Bare Knuckle Boxing League.

 

I rather like that. I'm partial to things with an old timey sound.

 

Me too! There are certain things that just don't have the same charm or elegance as their old timey counterparts.

 

How about The Courthouse (or Courtroom)

or like... The Academy

You know, think about people seated in different sections of a big room where everyone speaks their mind about an issue respectfully, more or less. In the grand scheme of things, we're there to learn.

 

The Cage lol.. Anyway, my suggestion for a name for that particular section would be The Belly, or Underside.

 

So when can we expect to see this debate/politics subforum?

 

Found some interesting propositions for new sub-forums, especially the e-books and self-publishing forums, and voted for them.

While I'm not rabidly opposed to a debate/politics/philosophy forum, I do wonder if there isn't already a lot of this kind of thing creeping in, via the general Lounge. I'm not opposed to exchanging views on non-writing issues, but that's not why I joined the forum. If these topics influence what we are writing, fair enough. But surely there are other forums to directly debate current affairs, etc.

At least with a separate forum I suppose we can keep these issues out of all the discussions. So I'm not going to march off in a huff if people actually want this thing. But I don't. And that's how I voted.

 

How about we ensure the thread title is whistle clean? Then that's all minors will see...

 

If writers can't find a way to disguise a particular word in a thread title maybe they shouldn't be given a key either

 

Agreed. I'll post a sticky in the forum now to make that clear. @Daniel, is there a way to have prefixes particular to that sub-forum?

Oh, and THANK YOU!!!

 

Thank you too!

 

For now: Straight, Gay, Bi, Trans, Mixed. Another forum I frequent for this kind of writing uses that system and a few others, but I think that for now.
