I have an idea for a "Study Hall" forum where talk about school can go since I see plenty of things in Random Chat that are school related-somewhat...

What do you guys think?

Oh and I thought the Furnace was cool too. Where you can rant and flame as long as it's not at a certain person (ie. member of this forum).

I second the notion on the furnace (april fool's = winnar), but I don't think that the study hall forum would be used much. But I could be wrong...

the furnace might just turn into someone's LJ though. less restriction on what people post=waste of bandwidth the way I see it. obviously that's not my decision to make, but on a site that gets a lot of traffic like this one, it may just be a time bomb waiting to explode...

1) I don't think there's enough of a need to warrant an entire forum about school stuff.

2) A long time ago (like, before even I was here) there was a flame forum. We allowed anyone to flame anyone in there with no punishment. It soon spread outside of the flame forum because people stopped caring about putting it in the one forum where it was allowed. And so the flame forum was eliminated. And it will stay that way.

Having a flame forum makes the overall forums look kinda bad too....

I'm pretty sure this is why [H]ard|OCP got rid of the Bone Closet (and eventually GenMay (General Mayhem) ).

Ah, I understand now. Okay, this thread is useless.

You can lock this now.

I always thought an Adult forum wouldn't be a bad idea.

We've considered this as one of the features you'd get if you were a paid member (assuming we decided to ever do that).

What are the things that paid members will be getting if they do pay for the forums?

I'm also assuming that the paying term is meant as a donation to the site not like paying to be able to post right? As in, it'll only be for the people who want the special features and the people who pay?

I should add that we have not 100% decided to do any form of payment. We're nowhere near anything like that. It was more of a "hypothetically, if we did do it sometime in the future, what would we include?" type conversation.

It would not cover every user. In other words, you wouldn't HAVE to pay just to have access to the forums. But, you could pay (probably just a one time donation) and have access to extra things. A couple things we discussed would be on-site hosting of avatars/banners (so you wouldn't have to keep finding crappy free hosts). An adult-oriented forum (a more mature forum, not a porno forum E10.gif ). Things like that.

But again, none of this is set in stone.

But... c'mon, the Hentai Lovers Club forum is down. As a poor student I'd probably be better off spending my money on candy.

Actually, I was a member before this instance of the forums was even opened. But there has been at least 2 other versions of it. I joined in the version before this one. The version before that had the flame forum for a little bit.
