Lady Sidhe's User-Hosted Forum

[Beestie]

My impression is that this forum is analagous to pitching a tent in someone else's front yard. The ground you seek to claim is already claimed by the other topics in the Cellar - this forum as you have proposed it amounts to little more than a cellar within the Cellar and would serve only to fragment discussion.

I'm not sure what to make of your point that your previous attempts to discuss controversial topics withered on the vine. I recall a several hundred post thread about gay marraige a while back. If your post didn't glean many responses in another topic header (e.g., Current Events) then why do you think it will be any different here? I don't understand the expectation that Cellarites are going to act differently in your forum and tackle topics differently here than they do on the main boards.

Its exciting to claim a corner of the internet but to do it here I think you need to come up with a theme that hasn't already been covered.

Just my $.02, tho.
