Hi Ditch, will weirdness still be allowed here? I think it's actually a requirement. |

I was thinking about this this morning. Another option might be to do what a lot of other comic book forums do and move the material to an area that isn't visible unless you are logged in. I like this. |

I think everyone who wanted to give input has done so, and it appears that the preference is for an area (board) that is only visible when logged in, as opposed to an entirely separate forum (separate from TCBF).
I'm not sure what to call the board, but I'll start out with "Controversial Topics" and if you guys want to name it something else it won't be too difficult.
I'll start now...it shouldn't take too long.

I'll start now...it shouldn't take too long. Okay. I figured out how to give the board title one of these  (Can of Worms) to make it more visible than the other boards. I did a fast scan of everything in the Community board and moved everything that looked like it should be in the new board (currently Controversial Topics). Please review both boards and see if I missed anything, or whether you disagree with anything. |

I personally AVOID the comic area because it's cluttered. <snip> BTW, I have almost 7000 followers on my VintageComics Facebook page. Once we get this sorted out, I'll be sure to spread the word about this forum there. The problem is that a small forum needs to rely on concentration. This is also a human trait. Sometimes boardies are put off by empty or low traffic spaces. But we can give it a go. Let's get everyone's input before I make any changes though. Fair point. I'm not like that (as in I don't go to a bar and if it's dead I leave - if I wanted to go to that bar, I stay because it's where I want to be) but many people are like that. Have you noticed any changes in traffic here? I do notice when we had some strong discussion that as many as 60+ people would be viewing the discussions in the Community forum.  |

Hi Fiddy, I'm not sure I understand. What killed it for the regulars? To interject, I think this would be best addressed in a PM. Not speaking for Fiddy or anyone else. You can say it on here. I won't get offended.  I totally own the fact that I pushed pretty hard with the Covid discussions. Mainly because the discussion NEEDED TO HAPPEN. I'm going to assume that for some, this was a big turn off. But what I don't understand is why having a Covid discussion in the community discussion section would take away from the comics discussions. I just avoid things I don't like and participate in things I do like. Pressuring people to talk or discuss only certain topics or worse, only certain sides of topics is how we got here in the first place. And to add one final point, if the forum is dead and nobody is posting here (which it was when I started posting heavily here) I'm going to assume people don't mind me filling the forum with discussion material. But if I see more posters posting here, I have no problem backing off and leaving real estate and space for the rest. Genuinely. Like I've said, I am going to personally put an effort into making this more of a community. |
