Lycaon Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'd vote for a hobby forum. Maybe a toy subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spycer Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 How about forums for these: Diaper Changing Invasion Planning Hog Butchering Ships, and how to Conn them Building Design Sonnet Writing and Critique Accounting (Sub-forum for Balancing your checkbook) Construction (ie. how to build a wall that don't fall down too soon) Bone Setting Comforting the Dying Taking Orders (with 'how to bootlick' as a sticky) Giving Orders (how to be an asshole!) Cooperation Station Acting Alone Solving Equations and other dumb Math things Analysis of Problems Manure Pitching Computer Programing How to Cook a TASTY Meal Fighting Efficiently Dying Gallantly I think this is a good idea.

Lycaon Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Or, we could consider what I'm suggesting: a forum dedicated to hobbies in general instead of just collecting toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Ooh, 8-7 against. Too bad, all the cool new pics coming out of SDCC would be ideal for a toy forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 This spycer thing confuses me. ZLet's make a forum for that. AND CAN WE BACKSPACE IN IT?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm irritated at having my stance misrepresented and dismissed so insultingly by Spycer. My stance is that I'm fine with a subforum for collectables, but I think that if we are going to do a new full fledged forum, it should be devoted to a larger overall subject (hobbies in this case), rather than a smaller section (like Figures, Statues and Collectibles) that only has a few at most threads already.

MetalHeart Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Awh honey.. I didn't read it as him making fun of you. I read his suggestions as something funny and humorous all in their own. <3 I like your idea, Ly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I honestly don't believe its warranted, but I think a trial is necessary, so I have a proposition: Start the threads you believe require it's own subforum, probably in culture I'd assume, and if the content doesn't truly fit in the aformentioned forum or garners enough attention/popularity to make it's own forum/subforum, then one will be made. That's what happened with Economics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ...except with economics, you're skipping the part where you all but tricked the 2 mods into "running" it. their words. id like to try it out, but its interesting that the poll's so close.

crimsonfire Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 With all the new forums for things in last year or so (anime going frontpage, hon(dos) pretty much tanking, bar and grill etc etc) I think a rethink of the current forums wouldnt hurt. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone when I say things are getting a tad crowded and some forums are just plain stagnating. That said, I may have voted No for a statues and figures forum but an overall collecting, toys and (real) games forum could be good. Things like 40k, board games as well as random collections you care to mention. Up to and including decorative ceramic cats. Broad strokes, people.

I just recently started looking in to playing, and didn't think that hondonians might be players. Hurm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I was once upon a time but was more into the collecting, painting and fiction of it than the actual tabletop game. Mainly because I couldn't stand to be in a games workshop for more than ten minutes. I just got whatever I needed and avoided eye contact with anyone. I exaggerate but there does tend to be pretty strange folk in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I exaggerate but there does tend to be pretty strange folk in there. Yeah that's kind of how I felt about it. The people are bothersome, but my brother and best friend are starting playing, so I think I will play, just not at the store if I can help it.

Jables Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Stores have the best terrain pieces, but then given the time & resources you could build your own & maybe even host your own meets should the desire arise. Regarding pieces of Hondos dying off right now, I've adressed it in FC: That's pretty much all of Hondos right now. A diplomatic rethink could work, but don't go blaming poor traffic in certain areas on ill-placed topics. Things are tough all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Nah the overall slow down is just a standard thing for this time of year. When the northern hemisphere gets cold again we'll be back to normal. The core forums are generally quite active (movies, comics, town square etc) but I damn near saw a tumbleweed blow through some parts. The diplomatic thing is all well and good but I refuse to believe that three members were doing any more for this place than most active posters of the time. Don't get me wrong SiBob was a cool guy and had mad skills and Jesi was cool from what I could see. I just dont like putting any more stock in certain members than others. It feels unfair to the people that are still posting and contributing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
