Sub-forum - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Treasurer · #1 09-22-2010, 03:08 PM

We have been thinking a lot about this, and we have decided that will might pursuit a sub-forum. And, this is not an application for a sub-forum, but rather we would like to ask a few questions before we can make a final decision.

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 believe that Batleth posted a sticky in the guilds and clans forums saying how to get a subforum. You should try checking that.

Please read the post again. We already know the requirements, it has nothing to-do with "how to" get a sub-form. I think that is already covered.

Oh, my bad. I misread it. Sorry mate.

No problem mate. The questions might be more suitable for a mod or admin though, or people in charge of these specific things

To the best of my knowledge for your first question I believe the place to have your with updates and stuff would be Guilds and Clans.

For your second questions the answer is yes. Many guilds do that. PNC was like that for a while until they got their Sub-forum.

Best of Luck! Hope you guys achieve this goal.

The guilds and clans sub forum. You post a thread with the Spania thing, and you post the rules and then other info, and you can get your people who post in there, and update the thread, etc etc.

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!

Thanks Batleth, I think we are ready to move forward. Also I have an extra question:

Does the 500 posts count solely for the newly created thread, or does it add up with all the threads/post around the forums?

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.

Captain Del · #12 09-23-2010, 12:39 AM

Erg, sorry for the misinformation. Del has too many posts to differ the two possibilities!

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
