Okay it looks like there could be a possibility of getting at least some new members most likely from JCF or something... If we do get new members we have to make the forum look good so they'll stay... So basic things we can try to do - make the homepage look as nice as possible - delete some of our inappropriate posts... They're funny but they wouldn't make us look good.. - censor more words.. - try to get games going again... This might be kinda hard - create a welcome board to help users introduce themselves and get familiar with the site - improve rules That's just to name a few... It seems pretty restrictive but it'll help us look like a serious forum  if people join that is... |

Also we might want to have more things to do... I don't want to copy JCF but I've been thinking of doing a caption contest thread for a while.. |

IDK if we'd need a whole welcome board. A thread or two on the general board would probably be good enough. And yeah, we should probably censor some more words, preferably the more sexual ones... But yeah, getting a game going would be nice, even if it's just a simple one that captivates the interest of new members. Hopefully if more members do come, this will make them want to stay and be an active member of the AG forums.  |

We do have a series board, which I think will be something several of them may like. But yeah, more things like "Best episode of TCW" and "duels on Geonosis" would be good to have to boost discussion and appeal to a broader range of people. |

But that's the thing I don't even know if we have one because it got lost in all the other threads so a person that's new to this site would have a hard time finding it and whatnot I just thought it would be good to have since most forums have one I think and also because it's a good place for a new user to start posting. For me at least, new forums are always confusing so I like welcome threads.. |

Kenobi, on the new member plan, we're on like Step 3. And you're talking about like Step 628. Like let's work towards at least getting an AG on JCF before we think about what to do with new members.

JCF? Also, I know this was founded as a Star Wars forum, but it might also be good to make it a little more universally appealing. I think it might increase interest if people see that this forum is for all kinds of things. Plus we've all already kind of started doing this with the General Board and TV and Movies board. |

Yeah, a larger range of topics and things to do here will definitely allow this forum to have a broader appeal to people. |

New members? Sounds like good news to me. Anyone we know? As for those instructions I think we should follow a couple of them, particularly getting a new game ready for them and censoring some of the more - uh, less universally friendly posts |

Hopefully others from JCF will consider coming as well and I'll try to get people from kik Tbh it might not work that well if at all but still if we want to have a forum, might as well do it right.... |

I agree with censoring more words because your not going to get a lot of people that way.
Words that we don't need to censor
Dick
ass
hell
other words that are not racist or really bad.

I actually never understood why sh1t was censored instead of more serious offensive terms... I mean, I do not think sh1t is that bad to say...

There's no real need to censor We can do three things 1. figure it out when we get new users. 2. put it up to a vote. 3. do nothing. |

Only sh1t and f-ck are censored I think. Oh and the link to Rex's forum... |

Guys I think it might be wise once we get more users to split some of these forums up for instance split the star wars forum up.

I don't think we should act like people we are not but Definatlwy some more censorin should be done. |

Yeah... But I'm just saying it's not a bad idea to make the forum look good and make people (whenever they come here) want to join |

So sometime later I might ask a mod if they would be cool if someone hosted a game there (because they have all sorts of rules and shiz)
Hopefully they'll say it's okay and say where to host it (because I looked around idk where it would go tbh..)
After the game if people like it I can post links to here and say we have more games
|

if people join that is...
