EDIT: because of all you peoples going off topic I had to quote this to be understood *shakes finger* for shame.....and I think it might be time to go Buisness Casual BB, you may be on to something there I'd actually eventually like to see an Other Sites mod, if not just somebody to help bring activity to the board. It'd be cool if someone actually cared enough about the board to make it into more of a site discussion rather than advertisements, so that there would be more discussion there rather than just 'o ur forum iz col ill j0in.' Lulz, just an idea. NO!!! We don't allow such talk of other sites! *takes Shay to the undergound Dai Lee Room* DH is the only site on the internet. You love DH. DH loves you. DH is the only site on the internet. You love DH. DH loves you... *ahem* That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I have to ask though what other sites would you talk about? I'm not really sure what could be discussed on the other sites board that couldn't (and really shouldn't) be conducted on the other site itself. I pretty much see our other sites board as an advertisment board, but I think a change to a more discussion based board might not be a bad idea...assuming there was enough to discuss. I'm not really sure how clear that is, so I'm just gonna ask if that makes any sense at all.

^^Yeah that made some sense.
Hmm...I really don't go on that board much so I don't really care much to be honest. LOL

@ GH-
Honestly, I am just tired of the spammy "LOL JOIN MY FORUM PLZ"
But I think some good could come of it. Constructive crits, things you like about the site, things you like to use the site for, etc etc. There are so many things that website obsessed people could talk about, rofl. What domains are best, favorite forum domain, best colors to use for layouts, and so much more. I know a lot of people who would rather see this than "Well i liek ur site, k?"

I agree with Shay. Far too many threads in that board consist of "Hai, I made an awesome Avatar forum, anyone want to be staff! =D". There needs to be more worthwhile discussion. More attention should be given to Other Sites.

Hm...okay, so more of a general site discussion than talk about any specific site? *ponders* I think that could work. The main section of the other boards section could be converted to a more discussion of general forum stuffs such as layouts and the like while also incorperating a rate my site type of thing. Then the advertising part of the forum could be knocked down to a subboard. Is that kind of what you were thinking?

@shay: I like your idea Shay, but I can't help but think of the potential drama that could come from it. I mean, say you get an overly-honest person like me in there...and someone gets offended because their forum was critisized. Then a fight breaks out, and the staff has even more drama to deal with. They don't need more than what they already have....
Now if it were a perfect world, and everyone was rational and mature....then there would be no problem.

Actually, that wasn't, but that is a fantastic idea. A website discussion could be in depth for those who wish for it, and the advertisement sub board could be for those who just want more activity in their forums or sites. And if we wanted better discussion for advertisements, maybe crits or ratings could be implimented? Idk, just an idea. But threads on layouts, domains, affiliation methods, site graphics, and so on could be so fun. =D angel of Death- Of course, flaming is a general rule for the forum. Ratings in forum games and other threads have never become a problem, because there are specific rules for such. Of course such rules would have to be implimented. The same could be said for the CT and any debate threads or suggestion threads.

I really like this. Critiques, help, layouts, etc. discussion could bring more life to the board. Not many people go to that board, which is a shame honestly. Personally, I would love to engage in discussion about layouts, and perhaps critique. ;3

The focus of the discussion was actually turned away from the modding, Kaneda, now I'm more interested in what could make the board better. Lulz
@ Night- I know, it could be really interesting to see how other people like to run their site. It could make for interesting discussion.

I realized and deleted, but was ninja'd.
I don't think it needs change. I like our little eyesore board.

Sounds like an idea worthy of further discussion. I'll take it up to the SB and we'll work it in along with a couple other board changes and the promotions ^^ that sound alright?

Sure. Sounds good GH.
Anyway, as long as there isn't much drama coming from it...then the idea is a very nice one.

GH, you rock so hard. To vegas with you, we'll be married by night fall.
Er, morning fall.
A guide to HTML would be fun to make up, too, for the Other Sites board. XD I love the idea.
Thanks for taking it into consideration, godhunter. =D
