Sub-forum

First of all, I want to acknowledge that we love the forums, and the people in it, and this is the main reason we are considering this. Second reason is, because I believe we would get more exposure and there for; we will be able to facilitate access to information, and to better server our members. And final reason is because we have been around for almost 2 years, and we definitely plan to be around for a while, so this makes it worthwhile to get a sub-forum.


First, I would like to know what would be the appropriate place (forum/category) to post a thread with updates.

We would like to document every step of the way, in our journey toward fulfilling all the sub-forums requirements. So we will be posting update for example who joins the forums from our guild, and number of posts, and any other prerequisites that might apply, until we are ready to finally apply.

Second, are we even allowed to do the above? I think it would easy up the process, and not just that but also will help us to better interact within the forums.

Other than that, I just want to say I have enjoyed the forums so far, and is a great place to spend some time.

Once we get all the info we need, we will be making a final decision.

I'm happy to hear how much you like POF and that you've decided to make it your home, not just for yourself but for your guild as well.

If you haven't already, start a thread in the clans forum for your guild. Normally, that kind of info is placed within the first couple of posts on the thread. It really does make it easier for us admins to find too when we do eventually review your guild's thread for a subforum. Once you feel you are ready for a subforum, just PM one of us, admins, and we'll begin the review process. From there we'll let you know anything you need to work on or create your subforum, whichever the case may be.


Best of luck!

I believe that the person that wishes to be Clan Leader/the OP (original poster) of the guild thread has to have 500 posts

Total posts for the guild's thread.

Thanks!, - let me get this straight, it has to be done only by the leader poster OR by the guild members and the leader posted within the thread?

The total number of posts itself, by all people who post on the thread. If I had to do 500 posts on one thread, my fingers would have fallen off

Please be aware that it's just not 500 posts of anything in the thread, but worthwhile posts that can add value and support your case of needing a sub-forum. Posts like "Hi, I'm here" and other such may be considered just spam and rule you out. We'd like to see posts that show your guild is well organized and active. Post up some guild news, organize an event, show the results of the event, etc...

Good luck!

Sorry, only one thread per guild. It helps us find everything we need to look at easier.
