Forum:Forum revival

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Forum revival

These forums are pretty dead. They're not used too often and don't generate much discussion these days. Since forums are one of the community "hubs" (the other being IRC), we really need to snaz up these forums. Some ideas:

• Move to a seperate URL (similar to MarioWiki and other Wikis).
• Spot on the Main Page.
• Sitenotice concerning the forums.
• Make forums more organized and add forum rules.
• More boards (Wiki discussion, SSB64, Tech Talk, Archives, etc).
• New design akin to most internet forums.
• Link to forums as #sw topic.
• Youtube video encouraging users to join forums (or some sort of Youtube thing).

So what do you think? And what are your ideas? BlindColours 23:31, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

You're trying to address a problem that doesn't exist. The forum namespace being unused just means people have nothing to discuss; there's nothing wrong with that at all - and in fact I think it's a good thing. Toomai Glittershine The Incomprehensible 23:53, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Well, it should at least have boards for Wiki Discussion, SSB64, and Tech Talk. We also need forum rules. BlindColours 23:58, 3 November 2011 (EDT)
