I'm just curious...how does one create a user-hosted forum?

It usually goes something like this...

"Yo Toad! I want my own forum!"

"Okay...it's set up and ready to go."

Lady Sidhe · 01-18-2004, 05:58 PM

Um...ok.....

YO, TOAD! I WANT MY OWN FORUM! Pretty Please? *grins*

OK, let's do it! Anyone who wants a user-hosted forum, let me know.

Jimbo, someday, you might reach my level of awesomeness. I seriously doubt it, but miracles do happen.

As an aside, the 3-year anniversary of Mk. V was last Tuesday. My 3-year anniversary here is this Tuesday. Whoohoo!

not neccessarily. what's the advantage to having your own forum? I had considered starting a thread called Lumberjim's Office(just so I could tell people to step into my office), but had not really thought about the forum thing. hmmm? what would you put in your very own forum? would you make up rules? post daily breifings? photos? what?

I'll need to see a synopsis on my desk by morning.

wow, not only did lady sidhe's forum not show up, but juju's is gone now!

Lady Sidhe · 01-19-2004, 04:47 PM

Well, I figure I'll have to get the forum first....

Sidhe

lumberjim · 01-19-2004, 04:53 PM

Huh?

I think UT is ignoring us.

elSicomoro · 01-19-2004, 07:25 PM

I guess Juju had too much on his plate again.

So Sidhe, what are you planning to do with your own forum?

Lady Sidhe · 01-19-2004, 08:33 PM

Hm...I hadn't really thought about it, but what I'd like to kind of do is have a rants page. I have pretty strong, and sometimes unpopular, opinions about a lot of things; I could post them, get 'em out of my system, and people wouldn't have to read them if they didn't want to (or if they did, it might spark some pretty good discussions). I also like to write poetry, and I thought maybe other people did, too, and poetry could be posted there and reviewed by people who were interested. Hell, why not post rants in poetry? Hmmmmm.....

Lady Sidhe · 01-19-2004, 08:56 PM

I don't really know about posting rules, as such....The only real rule would be something like:

"If you're easily offended, or thin-skinned, don't bother coming here."

I have a board on Yahoo, called "Think For Yourself, Dammit!," which was intended to be something of a rants page, where people could post what they thought about what was wrong with society, or their own personal pet peeves, and such, but it's ended up being sort of a place where all of my friends (we all know each other and live close together) post interesting or funny articles and such. I'd really like a board, though, where people can just come and bitch and vent and blow off steam about what pisses them off. I think people need that, ya know?

Like for instance....animal testing pisses me off....it's cruel and unnecessary in cosmetics testing and the like, for one thing. For another thing, animals often don't give accurate results when it comes to medical testing, and I think that death-row inmates should be used instead. They ought to be made to work for their keep instead of being taken care of with MY money. Screw "cruel and unusual."

Speaking of which, the whole "cruel and unusual" debate concerning the death penalty pisses me off, too...but I'll save that for if I get the forum...

You can start a thread here on any one of those things without a forum.
