Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > The Lighter Side

Notice: Construction Season

<< < (4/4)

Phillip Dampier:
I have renamed the forum and slightly changed the description.  I'll leave the child board concept out of here for the time being just because of my concern of diluting the forums by having too many of them.  We can re-evaluate this in time if we need to.

BTW, welcome to Roland who is now a moderator here.

FYI: I have no power over the order that the moderators appear in.  The software decides that for me and I don't seem to have any power over it.  I try and let each game-master moderate their own thread, so if anyone needs assistance in this forum, you should contact the moderator that adminsters the game you have a question about if possible.

Thanks!

Forgive me for being so uneducated, but what, pray tell, is a child's board? I am in the dark here.

As for the topic of the thread, I don't mind them being under the same roof with a name like "the Lighter Side of the Mountain." That kinda keeps it all in the same family nicely.

A child board is a forum that sits inside of a another forum.  If you go into the BetterMost News & Welcome Center, you will see two examples - Say Hello... and Q&A.

Sheriff Roland:
This is the response I gave to Amanda on the Thread "I am Sooo like Ennis" just a few moments. I thought it might be more useful to repost it here.

This is the point I've tried to put across to Phillip from the beginning. My threads have more in common with each other, and less to do with games. Even the retitling to Lighter Side... still suffers from a subtitle that doesn't at all reflect the essence of these threads. As a matter of fact (figure of speach, of course) your new(?) thread dealing with "loveable subtle details" is more kin to these threads than the more popular threads on this forum. Anyways, as Phillip suggested in a PM, i think, this whole experiment in cyberspace is barely 3 months old and still trying to adjust to the new and ever changing realities of it's clientel. The members roster has increased by nearly 50% since I made the move here some 4 weeks ago. (there were 181 members then!) I believe the thread "Notice: Construction Season" is still a worthy place to posts one's thoughts on this subject, SO WHY am I going on & on here? ??? - silly me  ::) 

Phillip Dampier:
I think we are approaching the time when I am going to make some changes in here to clarify who is running what game because I am seeing duplicated threads and we're nearing a page two in here.  It looks like the child forum approach is in our future here, and a clearer idea of who is administering what game is becoming necessary.
