Okay, so this forum for me is much like a conversation in MSN. It's main purpose is for OUR entertainment and social interactions. Hence the word, OUR.

Now I have a question, would you like this forum to stay this way? Unknown to the public, small and private. Or would you like this forum to be open like Neoseeker or that top forum in the myff.org directory list?

If you would choose the latter, then we seriously have to recreate this place, give it a new name a new look and a new purpose.

So the choice is yours, peeps.

I'd definitely like this place open to the public, I don't think it was really intended to be private.

It's just lack of good advertising. But with good advertising comes faithful members helping out(which we could all do). Another asset in good advertising comes in well...GFX making - Pedigree. :O

It's not bad advertisement actually. It's the lack of luster this forum has.

What makes this forum attractive actually? Aside from the dancing Vegeta this forum looks the same as any other forum.

We need a new name and a purpose.

So you suggest a whole new forum in entirely?
Where are you going with this? Could be interesting.

Yes, this forum is already infested by spambots.

Also, General Discussion doesn't give much of a ring to it.

Basically, we need to plan first if we're going to start a new forum.

What's the aim of the forum we're about to create? Gaming? Wrestling? Anime?

We could go with all in one, a general discussion forum again but that doesn't interest people since they prefer direct to the point forums.

So here's my suggestion. Let's focus on one purpose first. Then, when the forum blooms we expand with additional forums.

So yeah.. what do you think Sapp? yeah, you're the only one that seems to be going here other than me...

That could be good.
I guess we could make it a gaming forum at first, since anime and wrestling both seem to expand into the gaming world.

Okay, we just need the approval of the other staff members. Is BullFish regularly checking this site? I hope so. How about ZTR? How becometh of him?

BullFish comes daily now...But doesn't really post other than the gaming thread.
ZTR...He hasn't really been coming lately. A few days ago he was here, but that's really all. I usually have to ask him to visit here lol.

So do you wanna change this forum into a gaming site, or have a whole new site created? Seems like the first one, just wanna make sure.

tbh, I prefer creating a new one since this forum has been, like i've said, infested by spambots. You won't know when one pops out.

Other than that, it's the name of the forum. We could get the head admin to change the name for us but that's too much of a hassle.

But it all depends on you guys.

Well we could start a new gaming forum site.
The cost to create forums are...Well, free lol.
It's worth a shot, and nothing really to lose.

Alright.

I'll wait for the others responses before actually doing anything.

Since, as Sapp said, there's nothing to lose, it's worth a try.

But we'd need to think of ideas to make it original and not 'just another forum'.

Maybe we could have roleplay sections for the video games?
Eh, well we'd also need a good design to distinguish us from other forums.
