DaMan Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am considering offering a feature that will allow members to create their own forum on Off Topic Forum This will allow registered members to create their own forum, which can be private or open to the public, in a new category for member forums. If you would like to have this feature let me know by voting in this poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skategreen Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I doubt if I'd actually have my own forum, but I'll vote for others to have it if they so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriAllen Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I doubt if I'd actually have my own forum, but I'll vote for others to have it if they so choose. No cooking or recipe forum? I'm sooo disappointed. Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

Feckless Wench Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I already have a few so it wouldn't be a thing I'd want, it's a good idea though. Dementia is just a state of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreakwars Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Basically, what I wanted to do was make it so every new person who registers gets the ability to create and moderate their own forum. So essentially, you would create your own forum theme in a designated section, and from that point, you will be responsible for the topics created on the forum assigned to you. That will leave the responsibility of moderating the main forums up to the admins until membership is high enough that a forum MOD would need to be assigned. Another thing I am looking at, is possibly making it so not only do you have your own forum, you also can customize your forums theme/colors/smileys...etc... And if it can be pulled off, separate shoutboxes for each forum category. But we'll have to see about that.. Still yet, more things to come, to be announced at a later time. . . https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sheik-yerbouti Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think it's a good idea, if thats what people want. I think I'd like it myself. Its a useful tool enabling a poster to trash input from flamers and de-railers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I doubt if I'd actually have my own forum, but I'll vote for others to have it if they so choose. I agree with skategreen here but the board is in it's infancy and needs more members. Good idea though. "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws.

DaMan Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Wanted to give a quick update. I have this working on my test board. The only thing I haven't automated yet is letting users set whether the forum should be private or public. Currently after you create a forum you also create a usergroup. Then you send out invites to select people that you want to view your forum. I want to change this so that you can let everyone participate if you choose. Once I work this out I'll install it.

DaMan Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I completely forgot about this. Since consensus is to give users their own forum I'll finish the modifications to the hack and get it up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
