Would you like some new fora? - Page 6

Mohinder · 03-02-2008, 03:16

I'd post in a photography forum for sure, and I've voted as such.

Also voted for nakeybits

Blimey...

I go to Chelmsford for a few days and all hell breaks loose....

Anyhoo, as the most successful instigator of a new forum then I have a few things to say...

I'm not going to vote here because I have no interest in any of the suggested fora.

BUT

I can see interest in all of the suggested (well other than the upskirt thing, I just rely on the lovely girls who are my friends here sending me piccies

) for decent reasons but I can't say if they'd have staying power or not.

A photography forum would be good for some people, but also bad as our userbase doesn't support the kind of advice people need to improve their skills... Personally I see it likely that it will just be filled with links to other forums where there are people who are objective and have a lot more knowledge than most people here (except Pete).

A sport forum isn't a bad idea and I find it likely I may get involved (but only due to the current six nations idiocy) but I'm not sure how much staying power it will have when most of the sports threads are just pointing out how badly certain teams have done...

As it stands then BD has plenty of different forums to keep our userbase happy. No matter how much it's opened up then there will still be the same core usergroup with maybe a few additions.

I'm not saying no to new groups, I'm just poking a stick at the camel of the forums and seeing how fast it trots

FYI

Food for thought ROCKS!

Well... I voted photography forum FTW! I should have probably voted for a sports forum (as an after thought I figured - YAY- no more footy threads in GD

) but I forgotted. Boo.

Although we may not have loooads of pros for photography there's enough interest and enough knowledge I think to chuck in ideas of how to do things! We don't have any professional chefs or nowt... yet we all chuck ideas at each other in the food one (rarely any linkies to Delia or Jamie O or fuddy forums are there

)! So yeh, it'll hold I believe!

I can therefore post all my silly blurry pictures and people can photoshop them for me! YAAAAAAAAAY!

I iz happy.

Gonna go have some fud. Maybe a tub of pringles. Nom.

I like the idea of a photography and sports forum personally so have voted accordingly

I've noticed that with games related threads (the main thing I realllllllly pay attention to), there's often people posting that I never saw post much in (for example) ocuk's Games section. I reckon similar would happen for a Photography and Sports section. I know I'd definitely be much more likely to post in either of those two, than in the equivalent either on TP or some Sports forum.
I like everything in one place, call me lazy

Either way, what's the worst that can happen if we try eh?

Hopefully that all made sense, I'm tired

Makes sense to me. I'll possibly be one of those people. I use 'New Posts' 99.9% of the time and I often don't bother checking which forum I'm in unless I suspect it's something that needs special care, so if I see something I like the look of, chances are I'll read/post whichever forum it's in.

Thats how I read BD now as I have to be stealth at work and usually short of time

I would like a photography forum.. I guess it could serve a number of purposes, from people's opinions and help to just posting pics of family friends pets etc.

Also I think it would be a good place to put all the photoshop help threads as there have been a few and I know I have had a few in the past.

In hindsight I should have voted for the Sports one too, if only to get all that outta the way

Is that thong porn and foot porn or thong *and* foot porn?

Overwhelming numbers for sport and photography have secured us two new fora, not enough voters for the smut forum though
