Hobbies Forum

Recommended Posts

Maybe as a whole new one in 'Other' or a sub of General.

Basically it's just a place to discuss your hobbies, whether it be fishing, trains, yoyos, modelling, etc.

Just an idea. Though it would need an admin and, as much as I hate to say it, they're not really involved on the actual site.

Anyways, Hobbies forum. Yay or nay?

I like the idea, but it wouldn't work I'm guessing. Honestly, the best idea out of this is to make a Club or Organization based off of your hobby or talk about it in General. Also, you hit the nail on the head, the admins are inactive here (from what we see). YCMaker is reluctant to change anything, and usually when something is changed, it causes massive problems. The whole reason we still have an attachment option is because of what would happen if he were to remove it. Apparently most of this forum is patched together, and every change results in something happening (like the removal of the Rep indicator that happened as the result of something last time). We still have mods that have been inactive for a year or more. If he isn't going to update the staff, chances are slim for a new subforum. However, if Mods or Supers have the power to make a new thread, that would be good.

No I'm really against any kind of new forum unless it's something for CC or GFX (places I don't go to a lot so I don't know...). Look at Debates, Multimedia, they're all dead.=/ And yet people were begging to get those...
Don't get me wrong, Multimedia and Debates can stay but a new sub-forum for anything is not a good idea, plus General isn't as active as it used to be, so hobbies can really be discussed there. A big thread could work, maybe it will also be stuck, who knows.

So no, no support from me.

Well, there are substitutes for it, but those two sections are normally filled with other topics and such.

No support.Just create a thread in [b]General[/b] if you want to know people's hobbies.You don't need a whole forum for it.

Because in the Music forums the threads are about 'Do you listen to ____?' It'll be more of a place for discussion, ideas, trading tips and such. But as Wynn mentioned, that could be done in a Club but see above note.

I thought Debates was an idea from the mods =/ Anyways, Multimedia is dead, but it still moves, if at least slowly. And technically you could all jam it into General or a [u]single[/u] 'Multimedia' forum. Debates could be jammed into General and Polls as well. A big thread would be clogged if it does kick off.

If the entire forum was a single one with every smaller forum a thread, imagine what that would be like.
It's just an idea to branch off the main sections of the site. Multimedia and Debates are unneeded as well. Yet we still have them. And if they were gone, everything would just get clogged.

I know that not many people actually discuss these at the moment, but some people just need some encouragement.
