Add the new forum?[ 48 votes ]
1. Yes 38 / 79%
2. No 7 / 15%
3. Decline to vote 3 / 6%

I am thinking of adding a "Personal Topics" forum for people to post more sensitive topics like relationship issues, parental problem, etc... Such a section would add a new moderator or two to make sure any insensitive posts were removed promptly.

What do you think? Vote above. I'm just running a 1-day poll because I think I'll get a good idea of how you guys feel about the idea rather quickly.

I'm the bawss.

Yes, but not "Personal Topics" specifically, an "Off Topic" forum would suffice.

Maybe merge it with the politics forum, otherwise it would end up being hardly used, I think. I agree that an general "off-topic forum" would be best.

Not going to happen.

I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

I agree with Aprime. Too many people think that whatever they read (even with disclaimers and warnings) should be what they want to read, and not "inapproprate" to them.

whoa.

The forum is still overloaded with too much boards in my Opinion.
Make one general 'Offtopic'
And mybe think about joining some other forums too, or make the once that are not accesable by 'normal' users (like the ServerAdmin or Silo) not visible to the public.
I'm not running my Browser at full scren and had to scroll even to find the Modfoums.... Shocked

Maybe a forum called Downloads?
People share what downloads are available from the net (legal), whether its from C&C to Virus Removal Tools.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of a forum that shares personal thoughts & issues, but would that last? might it be a forum like Win32 FDS which is hardly used?
Its unpredictable at this stage, but if it was, you'd be kicking yourself Razz
Give the Forum a 2 month trial, and if all isn't as what you thought it would be, scrap the idea Cool Wink

I say yeah, give it a go, but please pick a moderator who can deal with the issues of this type and make sure they make a decent judgement when deleting insensitive posts

I vote yes because it would help clean up this General Discussion forum by removing some of those above mentioned threads. Just make this forum is a little bit more organized, along with given those threads and posters some fair ground to speak. Smile

I agree, I'd much rather have a off topic forum instead of this one. It'd get the job done and we won't have to look at those 'horrid' OT tags anymore. Razz

i dunno my thing is i see mad diff forums..

but most dont even get used..

i mean thats kinda what the general forum is for..
any thing and every thing right?

most of my exp no one ever really post anywhere else but

i mean if its an

Offtopic and a renegade only topic..(replacing the general)
then id think it would work

most forums i just bookmark the main forum anyways..
so i never ever see the other forum type topic areas

like tech support and all that

I guess I should also mention that I intend to "group" the forums up and re-organize a bit.

I really feel that a lot of us have known each other on here for years and a lot of you are in the teenager level which is always a source of strife. In having this new section, like I said before, I would add 2 moderators whose sole responsibility was that forum (in addition to Blazer, Warranto, and myself) to make sure it is covered as often as possible. Another possibility is to create a "group" that can access the forum and you would add yourself to the "group" if you wanted to be a part of it.

It does look like the votes were overwhelmingly in favor of the new forum... let's see what I can do. Smile

I'm the bawss.
