Gotcha.

[Harry Baldman]

You might not want to have so many boards in your brand new forum, it just makes it look dauntingly empty. Funnel the initial traffic into a smaller amount of boards, then create newer sub-boards according to need. Even here FG&RP, RTD, Mafia and ER is more than enough boards to handle all traffic, and FG&RP is the only one that you could describe as possibly overpopulated.

Also, while this new forum may not address any particular need of mine, I might also join at a not-too-far-off date. More RP communities is good, no?

Added a plugin for spoilers. Same as here to do it.

I understand where you're coming from, but trust me when I say I've cut the number of boards down as much as feasibly possible. :p

What metric are you using to judge this? For instance, why do you believe you require a dedicated Warhammer subforum, with additional sub-boards at that?

Also, this, since nobody else seems to have provided a link.

That's primarily just planning, since I know how much Warhammer can dominate a board.

I don't exactly understand what went wrong. No one participated, I guess?

[Harry Baldman]

If I had to guess, I'd suppose it was because it was somewhat redundant. And also maybe because it didn't draw on quite a large enough number of communities.

Imagine, say, that you got about 10-20 people from Bay12 to look at your forum. What do they get from it that they don't here? One thing is the ability to get their own subforums more easily and create their own personalized spaces. But what else? A better interface, maybe?

Furthermore, are you actually making this forum known to any communities other than Bay12, ones with a less established forum game apparatus, preferably? Currently Bay12 has the advantage of having ready and willing players and GMs, and quite a lot of them at that. If you don't, I don't really think there's any particular point, given that it'll only serve as a smaller subset of Bay12's roleplayers otherwise.

I am, and not just forum gamers.

[Rex Invictus]

Bump!

Come post your goods!

[Pencil_Art]

Interesting. I will probably join this at some point in the future. PTW.

[Rex Invictus]

We've started to get some activity on the site, so now'd be a good time to get on.

I'm going to bed now so I'll be activating accounts in the morning.

[SOLDIER First]

Oh my god, this sounds absolutely goddamn amazing.
Signing the hell up.

[GiglameshDespair]

Looking at the site, there are two games in the pbP section. One of them is called "Well, faggots, I'm giving this a try."

:I

I also question the logic behind the offline recruitment subforum.

[SOLDIER First]

Hey, he said there was zero moderation (except in the case of lewdness and/or flaming).

[poketwo]

We now have MORE DMS THAN PLAYERS.

Pretty much. Not even flaming. Dedicated flaming is a no-no, though.
