Before I even consider clicking on that link, answer me the following question: What is the difference between your forum and the approximately 230450 others that are registered on the web for the same subject? -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Did you read this thread? Then you'll know what we're talking about.

I think that it is sexy. Like, really sexy. Like, oh baby, more, more, ohhhhhhh.... Actually, what I think is that it would be a great forum if it had far more than 10 members. Spiderweb has 4.6K+ accounts, and that's for, what, 15 games? 16? All one company, too. And quite a few of your members should have the knowledge to post on all of the forums, or almost all of them, for it to work out. Good luck. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

Um, people, get a clue. His board ISN'T a Spiderweb satellite board. Spiderweb is one of a rather lot of companies open to discussion at his board. As a result of that, Kagurati, if you haven't already begun to advertise elsewhere -- like, lots and lots of other places -- you should. And if this thing actually gets going, be prepared to delegate responsibilites via modships all over the place. It looks kind of neat, but it's also so new that it's hard to tell whether it will fail in the immediate future or manage to stay afloat. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Yep, I just brought myself to click on the link. I'll agree there are too many categories (and sub-categories) there. Also too many 0s. :P With about 10k members, this forum would be a great one, but as it is, it still needs some Google sponsored links. ;) -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

How are you choosing your moderators? Are they people that you've known for a while and know you can trust not to do something stupid. Not much worse than a jerk with too much power. Especially when said jerk has access to IP's. Posts: 81 | Registered: Sunday, June 6 2004 07:00 |

It is an interesting idea to try and attract many members by being 'General' and offering myriads of discussion topics. Alas, it cannot succeed. Here's the reasoning: 1. The few members that are there originally will be disoriented in the multitude of empty forums, even before they become attached to the board by Force of Habit. Thus, they leave before ever becoming rooted in the community. 2. This effect is strengthened by the fact that the forums are concerned with entirely different topics. You will never find any members who are interested in ALL these games (or even most of them), most members will post in only a few of these forums. 3. For the above reasons, members will be unable, both time-wise (I don't have time to read through 100 discussions every time I visit the forums I'm on) and topic-wise, to contribute to more than a few forums in all that mess. 4. Being able to post in only very few sections of a very large board makes one feel unwelcome and inadequate on this forum - not part of the general community, always 'missing out' on something. Believe me, I know how that feels from not being able to follow the Warhammer 40k discussions in my Physics class. Basically, you fail to develop a sense of Communal Identity (let's call it Forum Patriotism for lack of a better term), and leave after a while. --> 5. Therefore boards specifically made with many unrelated subjects in mind are doomed to failure. ____________________________________ Don't make one board with unrelated parts. It feels to members as though you're forcing people to participate in all of these. Limit yourself to one topic, or make separate boards (I strongly advise *against* the latter). -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

I do wonder... the Ambrosia Software boards look like a mess to me, and it appears unlikely that the same people post in all of their forums, but they don't seem to have any trouble whatsoever with those problems. Meh, probably because the whole thing is run by the company that makes the games to which each individual board is dedicated, meaning that it won't go under even if any sub-forum slows at one time or another. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

But the Ambrosia forums are related at least through being from the same company. I mean, I don't post in Nethergate or SubTerra (or play them), but still it doesn't feel like there's a gigantic board I have only a teensy little part in, because the people I see posting there are the same people I also see in General. This is a small board (by number of different forums, not population), and most of us know each other well. That wouldn't be the case on a larger board. People who play one Ambrosia game are probably only marginally inclined to play another by the same company, but consider this: What kind of people more commonly play the Geneforge games - those who also play Exile, or those who also play Age of Empires? Therefore, Exile and Geneforge are perfectly fine to have in one board, while Age of Empires and Geneforge aren't.

Hmm... How to respond to all the recent replies.. It's barely a Spid-web fansite. It has many sub-forum so it has something for everyone. Im not expecting everyone to post everywhere. I AM expecting people to post in the areas they know most about and/or are most comfortable with. Of course it doesn't have many members... its 6 days old... I am advertising elsewhere. There aren't many 0's now.... Give the forum time to grow. I trust the people I choose to moderate. And if they do something wrong I can check on them. I do have a log stating everything they do thats related to moderating. But I DO trust them. They don't have access to IP Addresses. Only I have access to IPs. I don't expect to find many people interested in everything. Thats why I have many areas. I expect people to stick to the area they know most about. It has 18 members. Its growing at a steady pace. In awhile it'll be going pretty good i bet. -------------------- I am the swordsman that lets none escape! I am the blade the slices through stone plates! I am Kagurati! Come check out my forums!
