Suggestions for more subforums
 

Ahoy! This be the thread to post ideas and thoughts for new subforums on POf!
Be sure to back up your ideas!


----------------
As for my idea...
I thought that perhaps, like VMKf, we can have anRPG's subforum.
Although, we can make the RPG's strictly about pirate stories only.
Is that alright, Admins and Mods?

(I hope this gets approved! I'll be POf's Skip!)

VMK Talk Forum
 

I reccommend a VMK Talk forum for VMK members trade, talk, etc. :D

~Kid

That's why Nick has a forum based on that game. There isn't really a reason to make all of the same forums on here. Just go to vmkforums.com.

Yeah, but at the same time, don't you wish you could do everything on one site?
I have to open another window to go to VMKf.
I know, I'm lazy.

Come on if you want to talk about vmk join vmkforums. This is Not Pirates/vmk/toontown forums.

That is true. But a VMK subforum would be nice.
It would definately help us VMKf'ers to organize VMK and POTCO.

I don't think we really need any forum for it. VMKforums is already huge. Just open it in a tab.

Theres also a link up top to get you there.

I suppose. But doing that is like having two lives, because we have to answer to people on here AND on VMKf.

Maybe it should be like TTC. Only a support forum about VMK. No trading on there. ;)

Exactly. That would be nice.

Yes, the place to talk about VMK would be VMKF, and the place to talk about TT would be TTC :)

However, I noticed some VMK/TT-related threads in the off-topic section, if you want to post there...

~Pink

Yeah, but then the MODs and Admins would probably delete those threads.
But if we had some subforums...

An admin actually made one of the VMK threads :)

~Pink

Well, they can.. lol
But what if we do?

I'm not sure ;) The user-made ones haven't been deleted yet, and I'm sure mods have seen them already. My guess is they won't start deleting them just yet...

~Pink

That is what I am thinking. ;)

Yeah a thread is alright, but a VMK forum could put more info in it. All the VMK threads could simply be moved to the new VMK subforum

I seriously don't see why you want one forum for VMK talk when you could easily use a whole VMK fansite on VMKF.

Roleplay Forum
 

Do you think that a Roleplay forum should be added to this site? That way, we can start Pirate roleplay adventures :)

I already posted this yesterday. I even sent a PM to Nick about it.

For my thread about the RPG's, click this.

Activities?
 

I would like to see a "Activities" section added like in TTC.
(just a thought matey)

Stories Subforum
 

Well, I for one would like a Stories Subforum in the Arts forum.
I'm not rushing things, though. I understand the site itself still needs working.

But, still, a Stories Subforum would be nice.

As you can tell, I've merged all the threads requsting additional forums into a single thread. This will allow us to review a single thread for everyone suggestions on what to add or not add.

Thank you for those suggesting forums. It's always nice to get some helpful and constructive feedback. This is a new forum and we're considering adding quite a bit, but don't want to rush into things too fast. We don't want the forums to grow so quickly that things get out of control or end up spammed up like some of our other forums have in the past.

Please, keep posting your suggestions as we are reading this and considering carefully what to add and not add. The more people that voice about a certain forums the better the chances of it being created. So keep those suggestions coming.

In the meantime, if you want to post in a forum we do not have yet: I'd suggest posting in Off topic or posting on TTC, VMKF, or MSS since those forums are already set up to handle certain threads.

I'm cool with a sub-forum based on a game. But not like a trading forum for it on here. Just a general forum about the game. :)

Okay, thanks for merging all of these threads. There were a lot.

I think we need a Computer Technical Support forum here. I love those XD

VMK should be kept on VMKf, Pirates on here, TT on TT. Just my $.02

I'm a member of VMKf as well, part of the reason tabbed browing is a gift from the gods. I think it would get confusing too fast for people to have a forum here where they can post trades and such for VMK.

Besides, we are pirates here! That means we don't trade, we pillage! ARG!

Actually, me mate, in the game, we will be able to trade goods. :)

Let's wait till the game is past beta to bother with that. ok? :rolleyes:

Though TTC and VMKF each have a forum for the other's game, I don't think POF should have the same. The Sister Sites links are enough in my opinion.

I think most people will be coming from TTC and VMKF to this site (not the other way around), so most already have accounts established there. I'd prefer seeing forums in this Off Topic section that aren't available on TTC or VMKf i.e. the Book Club forum. Maybe the same can be done for Movies and Music, since the guidelines are more relaxed here.

I agree, VMK and TT each have their own fan site, easily accessible on the top left of this site's homepage.

A book club sub-forum would be nice, same with the movies and music. Perhaps we can have an "Other PG Rated Games" sub-forum?

I think we should have a Rants forum, or membership here, like on VMKF.

I think they have a book club forum here: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...splay.php?f=26 . The description says it's for the book club too so I'm guessing they already have a forum for it, unless you are talking about something else :) .

I think that any subforums/forums added shouldn't be off topic from POTC or pirates in general. Most off topic forums take away from the true meaning of the forum, pirates :D.

Ahem, guys you are being somewhat blind to the fact that not all of us members of the "Sister Sites" aren't grounded. Alot of us "Grounded" members like to talk about TT/VMK. Hopefully, you understand. But your points are good aswell.

I'm not sure this is even doable, but I will suggest it anyway.

Is there any way to create a Beta Player subforum that requires membership to both post in and read? I would really love love LOVE to be able to freely post about my questions and problems without worrying about getting banned.

A big con would be this would require a manual screening process. (ie: Send membership request PM to designated screener. Screener send back a list of 3 to 5 questions that only somebody who has been in the game can answer. Correct answers are granted access to the forum. Maybe have a set list of 50 questions so each "test" is different.)
I think it would be a tremendous help to everyone in beta. Disney has yet to develop any detailed guidance, we should be able to help each other.

But if it's not doable, a pirate can dream! ;)

My ideas for new subforums are as follows:

• A story subforum
• A RPG subforum (group membership)
• A searching for friends subforum
• A guides subforum (Ex. Guides to quests, fightitng monsters, where to train, ect.)

We'll be creating these as we get closer to POTCO going public.

Yeah a music and movies sub forum would be great.

We've created the book club forum already.

I think, we'll hold off on making the music, movies, and other PG-rated games till there's more of a demand. I haven't seen many threads on these topics yet. Besides, we're still creating forums for POTCO. Trying to keep with a mostly pirate theme, if possible.

Maybe a forum for the POTC soundtrack(s). I like the music, and I'm sure other people do to.

We have POTC movie forums. I would think that would best fit in one of those.

um, i guess.. a.. i know! a secret one!! like in vmk.. only with POTCO secrets!

off topic: i dont know if we have this or if its been posted.. i'll check

I seriously doubt there will be codes being used on POTCO. The game is much closer to Toontown than VMK.

or maybe something with cheats
