Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that a group of folks here with no small experience running forums were to stand up a new set. The idea would be to provide boards for the active MMO's as well as the extra flavor boards traffic'd here in a relaxed (but not utter chaos and bedlam) atmosphere. In other words, clone what worked and drop what didn't. If such a place were stood up, how many here would consider giving it a try?
Consider this a hypothetical interest survey

Depends on the layout and style of the boards. Also on the rules of those forums.

I would say, hypothetically of course, that it would've already happened by now.

Hosting a forums is a costly hypothesis.

I'd probably give it a try Tai. I enjoy the freedom of discussion that is allowed here on VN so if you are going to try and recreate that atmosphere then I'm all for it.

To be honest, I am not the brains behind it (that is probably for the best ), but I did volunteer to help as needed. As weird as it sounds, I would hate to see the VN community dissolve after all these years so if the braintrust can make this work I am all for it.

As I said in the other thread, if trolling on the MMORPG related forums and also on the technical forum is moderated the way you moderated the SW:TOR and GW2 forums, I'd be willing to give it a try (and I'm actually already doing it).

You should consider me hypothetically signed up for such a hypothetical enterprise.

I hope it can be developed for the full range of VN posters, my main concern being that it could very easily turn into a place where VN's DAoC crowd dominates and everyone else is turned off.

I have no problem with people doing whatever the hell they want to (within the terms of the TOS) as long as they keep it on their board but come to another board and ignore the way they do things or try and cause problems and I have little patience. That said I doubt it will be a problem.

Are you talking about the 'refugee' board I've seen posted elsewhere? I'll give it a shot, mainly for the tech support board.

Yes, and yeah this board was one of the reasons I started looking for other options. I don't like what is being done to the community here.
