(you never leave the Codex as it turns out. Though the Codex may leave you)
Would love this and it's a very good time to do it actually; since last i was around with time to post inane shit no one should read, two more forums allowing proper free speech have been shut down. Not many venues left where moderation is minimal.. you could potentially generate some extra income as well as this is bound to attract a load of people
So assuming this isn't the usual you having fun with the natives in Feedback and are semi-serious;
- Have you the stomach for it? 'Cause GD is nothing compared to what you'll have to face (you in the plural)
- Speaking of plural, whom will you have to moderate such a forum? It's one thing to have spastics like Crispy play the overlord of a subforum, occasionally and when their period isn't quite due, it's quite another to have a legit forum, dedicated to politics, 100% speak your mind. Takes a different mental stamina on the moderators' part, can attract a lot of negative notice if you start having megathreads, stealth merges and removed posts because someone called Crispy a spastic. Totally random example of course, Crispy being a pinnacle of maturity, fulfilled life expectations and an abundance of experience, in the sexual department not least. One dares not even mention the wisdom he's gained from it all.
- No matter the initial posters' base (Codexers), if this goes well it's gonna have a lot of people joining in; a lot. Are you willing to scale accordingly? Not capable, willing.
- And are you aware that you may not necessarily have a poster base primarily comprised of manchildren still living the puberty dream? You're talking people from all over needing to vent, primarily at least. You've a very limited subpool here, people playing RPGs (on consoles..) needing to vent. Perspective.
On a personal note since i cannot PM you boss, i hope you're well.
And my best wishes to you sincerely.
P.S. Though please, please do it. It's one thing to have forums shutting themselves down. It's quite another for Cloudfare to shutting them down, "because". Just as it's quite another to currently have Paypal denying VPN payment processing. We've gone way overboard with it all, balance is needed. Do it
