I would like to take this oppitunity to promote the Global Centre Forums. Not because anyone will bother visiting, but because everyone else has, and we have more banal threads then any other forum mentioned in this thread so far.
Thank you very much and thanks for boosting our traffic by 200%.
I do not feel I am being inappropriate by suggesting that http://www.rtsnet.tv/ already has a growing community of posters and would welcome more. There is "Intellectual Intercourse" for serious conversation on any subject and "**** & Giggles" where moderation is more relaxed and slightly more tangental threads are part and parcel.
As with most other sites you will need to register to post but this is extremely quick. It does require you to click and link in an email to activate your account but after doing so, which should take no longer than a couple of minutes, you can get posting straight away.
At the moment I do not have a problem with TV Forum members using the RTSNET to continue general conversation. As I said people are already using the site so it is by no means dead.
Nice bit of free corporate promotion there RTS Well Played!!
I think there should be 1 and 1 only, or more competition will continue to take place between the numerous other ones.
I also think that TV Forum needs a Lounge, or threads that shouldn't be in the main forum, but in the lounge will creep into the main forum and the main forum will be degraded further.
Well it would be too ironic for words if I didn't join in wouldn't it
I agree that TV Forum needs a Lounge, but also agree that people need to earn the right to use it. A time-out period is a good idea and is something other sites have used effectively in the past before.
In the meantime people have given us alternatives. The advantage of http://www.rtsnet.tv being that it already has many other posting members where as temporarry forums do not. I am not by any means knocking efforts made by other members though.
I have made a froum, in progress, it isn't a temp lounge. The closure said something about 'making a froum for general chit chat' it's what I'm doing. I'll link soon, I'm trying to do the colours
Why? This is the exact same problem as last time. Someone gets in with their forum first (last time, it was me), and then everyone wants a taste of power, so they set up a forum. The only way this will really work is if one member's forum (BBC TV Centre gets my vote, as his was first) is designated an 'official' replacement by the moderators.
Trust me, I write from experience.
Are you talking temp or permanent. I'm just building a forum for anyone who wants general chit chat, although proboards is anoying me...
I dunno, but I see it that some people are taking the forum a little too seriously. It appears that some people have made it a part of their lives rather than something merely to participate to.
I really hate this saying as I'm one to talk, but I really think it applies here.
Well Played!!
