How to improve activity on Zelaron (vote, discuss and ideate)

The need for individual forum Mods isn't necessary for the actual "moderation" of the posts, etc. However, having a new Mod will definitely increase posting, especially if you make sure the Mod tries his/her hardest to get more content and threads started.

If you guys throw out any somewhat hobby forum for anything automotive, I'd volunteer, but unknowing of what you guys have in mind, i'm sure theres stuff everyone can help out with...

Blow = one of the best movies of all-time, IMO.

Agreed.

Yeah, that's the main point of having moderators for individual forums again, not necessarily because the new forums will need to be moderated a lot, but so that they have a "leader" sort of person to help keep things active, who has tools at his/her disposal to do so(stickying threads, closing threads, etc.)

If you guys want to make a forum for science, you could do that. I like to keep up with the news on sciency stuff on a pretty much daily basis. I don't know how much I will actually be able to paraphrase myself, and how much will need to be copy & paste, and I know that this forum really wasn't meant for that, but it's something I could do if you'd like.

At this point, pretty much anything that someone is willing to keep active is a good idea.

I was considering a Harry Potter forum recently, but I'm really not so sure how that would work out. There isn't a TON of big news that goes with Harry Potter, so all of the activity would have to come from Harry Potter discussions, which would have to be heavily censored for spoilers which would be one hell of a job, it just seems like too much work for something that most likely won't work.

Yeah, you can only discuss him shooting his wand at people over a course of 7 books for so long. If you were going to introduce it though, you could just make a literature forum, (oh wait, didn't we have that already?).. And bring back the Conspiracy forum, oh joy!

Remove K_A from being a Sup Mod to a regular forum Mod and you just might see more activity.

In all honosty, I agree.
NOT FLAMING...just agreeing.

Back on topic.

I'm sure we could do this, but for a variety of subjects, I'm very interested in anything that has to do with science, but hardly get a chance to read up on it, I'm sure if MJ or anyone else posted about it often, I'd definately be down for that and to read up on it more conherently.

I could probably post 5 new topics a day or so as far as that goes.

Okay, so far, we've got these forum additions to try out: Science Forum, Fallout (3), PS3, XBOX 360, Wii, PC, Movie Reviews

Any other suggestions? If anyone would be willing to post a few new threads per day or week in the new forums, that would be great! It shouldn't be long before we get new members who contribute in those areas (thanks to search engines).

Um, this may sound weird, but a food forum? I love food.

I would love an Automotive forum, but personally I don't know how active it could be, I'm sure there's tons of threads that could possibly be started, but I don't see there being too many enthusists to share information with, there'd probably have to be more members on these forums.

Automotive enthusiasts don't seem to proliferate too much on the internet, but then I might simply not know where to look, not being one myself.

I can name off about 10 sites that have to do with my car only

http://www.2gstratus.org/forums/index.php?act=home
www.club3g.com
www.eclipseforums.org
www.dodgeforum.com
www.dodgetalk.com
http://www.stratusphere.us/

Just to name a few, I'm registered on about half of those. If there is something popular in this world, there is more than likely a message board full of enthusiusts.

Even if it isn't popular, odds are there's a messageboard.

As far as forums would go, I would be able to contribute to a WoW forum and I've also been playing Dawn of War (Warhammer 40k RTS), so I could contribute to that as well, if we have anyone interested here.

The Science Forum and Fallout 3 Forum are up. The automotive forum is a good idea. I start design school in September, and school will give me paid access to a number of conceptual design car sites I can post news and images from. Maybe they'll sue me though, hmm.

We already had a food forum long ago, didn't we? It didn't work too well back then, but if there is enough interest now, I would be willing to give it a second chance.

Four new console forums added: Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC Gaming. Post away!

If anyone has any suitable 80x80 pixel icons for any of the new forums (or other forums which do not have icons), please post them here.

Does anyone have any specific rules in mind for a hypothetical movie review forum? The first post of a thread should be a review, and it should possibly contain a score, although it would be nice to make it different from IMDB.

I think it would refine what normally occurs in the entertainment forum anyway.
