Can I make a suggestion based on something we used to do at a board I ran?
An adults only section where more adult theme stuff is allowed than the regular sections and we can also house discussions that are of a sexual nature or otherwise might offend some people?
- Softcore porn/nudity allowed (So I can play a rousing game of "Rate Those Boobs/Other body parts!" - More adult themed animated gifs - Sexual/religious/Political discussions that dont fit into the other board sections
I'd be happy to be the moderator for it if no one wants the extra work. Just an idea.

I have a feeling that could cause trouble. From the TOS:

We did have an NSFW board we had to shut it down. Appreciate the suggestion though.

Another suggestion, can we add in the code for a message box? You know, one of those sort of like real time chat windows or at the very least one you can refresh and it put up the messages posted, similar to a chat room?
It'd be nice to sit and chat with you guys real time.

Here's a little bitching; I do hope that this site will not become like the Toy Board where at some point only cliques happened and it seemed like threads were only meant for a couple of people. I am starting to get that vibe here.

Here's a little bitching; I do hope that this site will not become like the Toy Board where at some point only cliques happened and it seemed like threads were only meant for a couple of people. I am starting to get that vibe here. That is definitely an issue and I don't think anyone wants it to be that way with just a few people posting and everyone else lurking, feeling unable to post. I've been in that situation on several boards and it is a hard problem to solve. My best suggestion is the "favorite movies/songs/figures & dinner/movie review" threads. All of us have common interests, if everyone puts their interests out there we'll all be in on the discussion together and feel more comfortable posting around each other in the random discussion threads, cracking jokes at each others' posts, and derailing other threads for fun. In the past few days I've already met several people who I never knew before or never felt able to respond to in the past. I know I'm at an advantage since I've been posting here for a while, but we all want to be friends and promote as much conversation as possible. I'm honestly excited to find out what movie every single member just watched or whatever they found entertaining today and see what kind of crazy series of posts grows from there. Another thing Mattman did which worked amazingly well was post a thread saying he was having trouble adjusting. A page & a half later he felt like he was able to post freely, and now he's starting board contests and everything. There's a perfect example of how we all benefit from having everyone involved. So, if you feel like you can't find a clear path into the discussion, just start a thread saying so, and the active posters'll do their best to show you that they want you to be a part of the community. Cuz it really is more fun that way.

I think the problem we had at the Spawn Board and might get here is that there is nothing uniting us. We used to all collect the same figures and want to talk about them, now that is a bit harder as Todd pussied out of Spawn and let him waste away slowly and painfully, sometimes twisting the knife by exciting us with plans which amount to nothing but more Sportspicks and small and sloppy figures for us Toys guys. Rant out lol. I used to run the ThreeA Board with 4 other guys and I can say that I never had that much trouble there during my three years because we were all very open and treated people equally and tried to connect with everyone. ThreeA Events are amazing if you know everyone lol... had an awful lot of fun in China, Sweden and the UK with those people I met.

I am starting to get that vibe here. Valid concern, and I hope that many can view this as a fresh start to expand their horizons for interaction with others. That definitely includes those of us who've been here for a while. And I'm seeing that happen, it's great! That we have a general discussion board should help facilitate that. No one should feel timid about posting a thought, question, observation, story or anything. And no one should also be made to feel as if they don't belong. I think this is a pretty diverse bunch and hopefully we're all willing to move forward instead of sideways.
