1. A forum on different non-alcoholic beverages Nah. We wouldn't want to exclude Peter. ;D Sounds good, except they're always breaking Asimov's Laws and rebelling. Pesky machines. ;D

This board is not just for MY friends, however much it currently reads like it (IE totally ;D). But I don't want other sites being spammed, simply because I wouldn't like anyone doing that here. I have always considered it very rude, though I do thank you for the offer

I'm not really fond of spam posts either. I find promotion to be more credible if people don't think you're spamming. I know I gloss over posts that look like spam... I prefer more subtle forms of advertising. Such as, if you post on other boards, leave a link for people to follow here. That way, it's up to them as to whether to be involved. Edit: I have no problem with the idea of a banner linking back here, if you want to do that. Of course, the question is the design...

Nah. We wouldn't want to exclude Peter. ;D Please, guys, I consider myself quite an expert on non alcoholic beverages. Once, I even drank a sip of water thinking it was vodka!!!! Man that was a bad surprise

Sig links or banners are certainly cool... No-one ever objects to those, I think 17 forums??!! Where on Earth do you find the time?

Yeah, BJC, that's what I was thinking. I'm down with that.

*cough* Suggestion thread*cough* This one's kind of important, guys

Okay. I suggest we move on. How's that? We have plenty of other threads to derail, after all. Edit: For the record, certain silly nonsense posts were deleted by mutual agreement between certain silly nonsense posters. Nothing to see here. Carry on.

I've got a suggestion.
How about a news board like the realm, but with the difference that everyone can post news that are related to the different boars.
I know we can just post in the respective forums, but it's easy, especially on the comic board, for news to get lost between the posts.

Hmm. Worth considering.
A News board would also keep some of the current events sort of threads out of General.
Not really sure yet, but there is some merit in this...

Yeah, and we can limit it to board related stuff but I wouldn't mind having some news issues of interest there as well. As long as we avoid deeply controversial political stuff, as I think Elliot wouldn't like being posted, then it could be an idea.

Also a possibility for great confusion. What after all would constitute 'News'?
Given the nature of the board, it is possible that each of us could interpret it differently.
Is a new comic series 'News'? Or a new album by a favoured artist? Or a new book by a favoured author?
At the moment, the breakdowns between forums are pretty clear cut, and I think we need to keep them that way.
A good idea, Peter - but not easy to implement right now...

As for 'deeply controversial political stuff' - I don't mind, with one caveat. You guys can debate current affairs all you like, but the instant debate crosses into argument, I have a problem. One of the best things about this board is that everyone treats each other with respect, however much we may disagree. As long as any thread keeps to the 'Be nice to each other' rule, it's all good I do not want and will not tolerate massive rows. Edit: If it's not banned in the forum rules, it's not banned. You guys don't have to try to second guess me

There are a couple of suggestions I was expecting that have not so far appeared, so would obviously make lousy forums.
SO glad I thought of this idea! ;D

How about a "Why I hate Illyana, and why she sucks" forum?? ;D

Heh. I think we can safely rule that one out. ;D
