Good call freddie. I was just telling all those Spreadheads today what a great message board we have - hardly any flaming, really helpful folks, and a positive family vibe. Let\'s keep it that way.

It has alway been that way, that other board was nothing more then an escape from here. To post and do things that we won\'t do around here. That board had nothing to do with .info.

im not sure if its a good idea or if its even possible, but why not have a secret forum on .info where anything goes? have it password protected so only people who ask can get in. maybe also make it so you need over 1000 posts to access it.

you guys can fight in there or say whatever you want and no one will see it but the people involved in the secret forum. that way outsiders have no idea whats going on or that the secret forum even exists.

The forum could be called Wild Pack Of Asscracks. I think its a good idea if it wouldnt take a whole lot of work to set up because it would keep the bullshit out of the threads that everyone sees.

this is something i would consider. however, i think another conditional of this \'secret\' forum would be having it open to donating members only. why? because if someone needs a place where they need to have a free-for-all on .info\'s bandwidth, they can make a donation to the site..

i think that\'s reasonable.

good idea. why not add several special features only for people who have donated a certain amount. it would give people more of an incentive to donate and help the site. give them more color schemes, exclusive .info desktop backgrounds, aim buddy icons, and stuff like that as long as creating all that stuff is worth it.

Playing devils advocate for a moment.

Why does anyone need a secret forum for stuff to be posted ? If it is something that should be in a "secret forum" then it probably doesn\'t belong on the message borad in the first place. And depending on the subject matter you might be discussing do you really want a paper trail ? It could do more harm then good.

Alo I will add that this is just another way to fragment the fans. We saw that when there were 2 message boards. All it does is serve to fractionalize the fanbase. Those who know about the "secret" and those that don\'t.

If a thread is needed to discuss things like site dev. or upcoming show issues that shoudlnt be made public I would simly suggest a thread that only admins or Mods can use (thats how we do it on wormtown.com).

Perhaps if funding is to be raised we could simply do giveaways and raffles and the only folks who get entered are people who make a donation (ie. buy a raffle ticket)

yeah i\'d have to agree with this. if there\'s just a seperate place where people can really flame each other, it will in turn just raise the tension here. if people need a place to really get heated with one another, thats why we have the PM feature, email, AIM and telephones.
