I wish you all luck with your forum. But say, is this a new trend?

There don't seem to be too many posts in there yet. :P

Well, it's better than getting flooded with spam. Good luck though, I hope you get a lot of members quickly. :)

Trend, ef? The only one I saw doing that before was dear FB :P . I hope that's not a bad omen concerning the future of Brenitt's board. ;)

Brenitt, if I were you, I'd visit the other two boards and then think of some interesting topic that they do not cover for my forum.

It's not a new trend in any case. There were Spiderweb-related forums, mainly for BoE, before Spiderweb opened the IB, and then there was an ezboard spree that died down without fanfare. The next generation of forums came from the fight between Desperance and the newly-created Polaris more than a year ago, and Lady J eventually hosted Polaris, Phoenix (now gone), Azure Palace (gone), and others. Wise Forums probably fit into that category.

—Alorael, who would say that most boards die because they don't have anything Spiderweb lacks. Desperance has its own people and ambience, Polaris has its conspiracies, and the Lyceum is THE place for BoE. Other than that, outside forums have a bad track record.

This isn't really spam he just wants to advertise his board.

bah. Wise Forums is still there, albeit not very active. people should go there for unspoiled RPs, that's for sure. unspoiled meaning free of ... bad elements.

Yeah, it's just against Drakey's juicy CoC, but I hope they allow it this time. It's only a discussion board, after all, not a rival company.

Why would a rival company come here?

Well, not perhaps a rival, but yet another company, and they would probably advertise THEIR company on SPIDERWEB's boards. That is a crime against the CoC as we have seen in this topic.

Really, the only successful boards relating to Spidweb are (in order of appearance):

1) The Arena - massive RP/competition based on Exile that began years before these boards.

2) The Lyceum - the premier Blades of Exile board.

3) Spidweb - the company's own boards are bound to thrive.

4) Desperance - an alternative created by an already established community.

It's difficult to cultivate any new forum without a community already, which is why so many boards start and then die or fall to the spamming of two or three members.

BTW: Is it just me, or does the Lyceum board seem, well, not quite dead, but on life support? I mean, the last post in there was yesterday, and I go there about weekly now because so little happens.

And yeah, to have a good board, you need at least 10-20 people you know are going to join at once, before you create the board. New people will not post in a board that has barely come to life ;) .

There is always a lull on the Lyceum from February to June, but things really pick up in the summer and late fall.

Drakey: you forgot Polaris. Although that's not strictly Spidweb-related any more, it's very much alive...
