I created a Descent/FreeSpace forum today and need some members and posts.  Please join and help out.  Thank you very much, the URL is: http://s1.zetaboards.com/PTMC_Lounge/index/

"Please join my Forum"...The last time this request was made, the results weren't pretty. My advice here is the same as the last time: Create content first, then open the forum. The FreeSpace community currently has 4 main forums, this one, game-warden.com and sectorgame, with fsmods being the smallest. Every one of those (found via the "External Sites"-Menu on top of the page), has something unique to offer, i.e. mods or TCs that can't be found elsewhere. An empty forum waiting to be populated isn't very inviting, really.

I joined it for you.

Sall good. I like it.
Put it to my favourites, so i will return!!!
Thankyou

Further advice: Don't create subforums without them being requested. Again, it makes the place look even more empty.

[CarmenA1]

Sall good i'll delete it then
just thought i'd add something

[Blue Lion]

There is a forum for AG, my "project" and my "second campaign"

I was unaware I had a project and second campaign. SWEET!

The "Hosting" forum on Game Warden says otherwise.

[Blue Lion]

It says I'm aware? Cause I'm pretty sure I'm not.

??????????

[Blue Lion]

Maybe there is another Blue Lion somewhere, but I don't have a second campaign or a project so I'm just kinda curious where you got you lists from?

[The E]

By trawling through HLP, gamewarden, and several other places, apparently.

Indeed.  As well as FreeSpaceMods, ModDB, and AddonDB.

[Blue Lion]

May that should tip you off then. If you create 3 forums for the same subject, maybe you need to prune back some.

But why? The community seems content to hang out at the places you sifted through. They work. They all have their own culture. What compelled you to create another forum? Which needs does your forum satisfy, that other places can't? Or rather, what makes your forum special? Why should I join it?

It is completely different from this place, just see.

[Blue Lion]

I know, it's empty.

[admiralxgmx]

I know, it's empty.

Not entirely.

Trying to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list took forever. I took a nap and had a snack before I reached the end.

[The E]

Yes. It's emptier. Look, the reason I joined HLP was the fact that things like the SCP, The Babylon Project, Blue Planet and Inferno are hosted here. I didn't join because it looked nice, or because of the people here, but because there are things here that I'm interested in. The reason I stayed is that after lurking a while, I began to appreciate the culture and the discussions here. What would someone like me find attractive abut your forum? Right now, it consists of 266? ( ) subforums, with nearly all of them empty. That is not my definition of "inviting". Maybe you should consider deleting some most of them until there is a valid reason for their existence.
