Board Suggestion

[Tequila]

While driving home this afternoon I starting to think about a few boards the forum could use.

1. Services - For those of us who offer things like hosting (free or paid), artwork, templates, things of that nature
2. Rant and Rave - not quite off-topic but more or less a place to complain about things and praise others to High Heaven (or other belief structure here)

What do we think?

Those sound fine to me, I will consider. For now lets leave it open to see what other dev staff and members have to comment.

All right. :)

If we add them they can be post determined if needed. (ie: have 50 posts to be able to start a topic in this board)

Oh yeah, we can try adding post-based restrictions or else. I remember seeing a Vbulletin addon that does this, it is available on my pokemon forum already so shouldnt be a problem.

I think it could potentially be a great idea. However you are right about the post count as the board could be misused to the point of annoyance if you let anyone who walks in off the street use it.

Thank you for your comment elfhome, we will still need more comments on this before deciding whether to adopt Enddayne's idea.

Service-Sounds like a great idea :D Maybe people could also ask for service there too? So it's for asking for help (just like a problem but a coder or an artist, etc) or posting you'll help out
Rave and Rant-I've never heard of this type of thing And I don't know what to expect so no opinion

I think services isn't a bad idea... Although we may want to be careful about scammers and the like. The second one I would suggest as a sub-board of the off-topic board. :)

That would work... Good ideas for the service one.

Rant and Rave is more like a place to complain and/or praise certain things, people, work, etc...

That's why I brought up a post limit for services, HoF would have to determine that though.

Ah, I didn't think of that...

I think this would be a great addition to the board it would help sellers to get notice whilst helping buyers at the same time to find the service they are looking for.
