I'm sure you will. :rolleyes:

Engaged A.K.A Slaveless will also keep it safe.

So Mutual Friend, are you going to join? I'm sure you'll be great on the forums.

To answer this question, which I seemed to have just passed over before, in the nicest way I can: no.

Outpost Gallifrey is the place to go if you really want to be involved with DW chit-chat. It has hundreds of members and really makes all other DW-related forums redundant.

ENJOY.

Lord Vulcher 07-01-2006 02:56 PM

Sigh, nobody will join.

OANST 07-01-2006 04:34 PM

I was going to join but then you talked about banning me. Oh well.

If I sign up, do I get a free Docter Who t-shirt? I mean, thats the least I expect from such a great forum. Yes, I think your revolutionary ways of leading a forum should involve giving t-shirts to everyone who signs up!

I have an issue with one of your rules btw.

:

And any other way that will make users feel uncomfortable.

You see, I'm a user. Or at least I will be. But the forum in general makes me REALY uncomfortable. Could you maybe not allow the forum to be there? gdkthnx!

When did I say that? I just said I'd ban you if you used bad language continuously.

E'l Scrabino 07-02-2006 01:12 AM

Indeed...
It appears people have very little faith in the very little forum with it's amount of a very few people. And on a different note, Lord Vulcher, i do not think we should ban people straight away. You may think different, if so, then whatever, but i still think warnings are a good idea :D.

E'l Scrabino over and/or out :).

I do not ban people straight away, I give them 2 warnings. Then I ban them.

E'l Scrabino 07-02-2006 02:36 AM

Ok then, i'll remember that :evil:.

I'm sure you will. If in the unlikely event that you forget, read my "Important notice" page.

I thought Moderators are meant to encourage, not downgrade.

Havoc 07-02-2006 03:57 AM

We are allowed to make exceptions from time to time... You're one of them. Now shoo!

All I wanted to do was tell people about my new forum.

Rich 07-02-2006 04:31 AM

And you did, now go discuss your rules in the privacy of it.

Lord Vulcher 07-02-2006 04:32 AM

Fine, fine I'll do that. I just don't want people thinking I ban them immediatly if they do something wrong.

Exactly. They're upgrading because they're trying to dissolve this dumb thread.

You may not like Doctor Who, but me and some others do, and they might like the idea of a Doctor Who forum. If you don't like it then leave this thread.

Not everything needs the same counter example.

Anybody who has looked at my forum, tell me what you think.

Rex Tirano 07-02-2006 11:00 AM

Okay... Honestly?

It's appearance makes my eyes want to commit suicide. Seriously. It's very simple to make/use a forum skin which isn't that one... It's defaulty and awful. But if you insist on using that skin, please change the image-bannery thing so that it 'gels' with the general appearance of the forum.

There are far to many forums. No one wants to trawl through those; they're pointless. Maybe when you have several thousand members you can have that many forums. Until then, keep it simple. [E.G. New series, old series.]

Stop being such an admin pussy - you cannot make people be nice. You cannot make people not swear. However, you can enforce parental controls. So if someone says fuck it comes up as ****. You can have a totalitarian regiem - but no one will join your forum.

Don't have 3 moderators for every forum. You don't even need any moderating staff - you could do it all by yourself because you have very very very little members.

Your rules need to be padded out. Give some examples; even if it's just 2 or 3 lines and give reasons to your rules. However you should pay attention to these 2 rules that you have set on your own board:

:

Rule #4: Have posts that have a meaning to it. Don't say, "Yeah me too", when three other people just say that. Remember, you don't have to post in every topic.

Rule #10 Annoying members will not just annoy one person, but perhaps the entire board. Please try to avoid annoying people
I recommend working really hard on this forum - I understand that it's your baby and you want people to join but needless whoring out and the general ambiance of the forum is a disgrace. You need to work on that or join the official Dr. Who board.
