Clan/Faction Specific boards?

[Lady Dagger Rose]

Having a seperate forum for each clan/tribe/changling whatever will clutter it up too much. But having seperate actual baords would be easy. I'm willing to create one for the Brujah all on my own. Hell, I was willing to put in the time to moderate a board like this one.

[Joseph Mayek]

Well, I'm not completely sure, but can't you put them in "sub topics" not sure of the term, But example.

Camarilla> Brujah, Tremere, etc etc
Independents> Giovanni, Assamites, etc

But even if you can't... you wouldn't have to put -all- of them. I mean, there's plenty that are just NPC's.. Mostly, most of the Sabbat clans.
That aside, if not individual clans, could always have sect boards? *shrugs* I'm just throwing out suggestions

[Kenneth Ashland]

Too much Clutter.

But, maybe, a Clan/Tribe board for each sphere with sticky'd threads for each Clan...maybe.

Hrm... That's a thought. THing is that sticky threads can't be password locked, so everyone would be able to read them from any clan, which to my mind, defeats the purpose of having clan specific boards. How can you plot and plan when everyone can read your plots and plans?

[Squirrels / Constant]

I honestly don't see/feel the need for that. The boards have been a place to tell stories. People being far more active than a story tended to take it to e-mail.

Plus, the boards would get hugely cluttered up. Keep in mind, if we do it for the vampires, then we need to do it for the garou and the changelings....

This isn't just the Vampire board, it's SbC's boards....

[Barnaby Cuthbert]

Yeah, I kinda agree... It looks like the consensus is shaping up to be that peeps can run their own clan specific stuff.

From personal experience, clan specific boards are rarely used, and the clutter would be immense, I personaly believe that the private messaging service provided would be more than sufficient

[Janet]

Or, you can do what I did for Ventrue and set up a mailing list. That keeps it really private.

As for sticky threads......ew. I hate those. They stay at the top and never go away. Frustrating things they are. I am on a board that has several sub-sections and each one has several, so I have to scan down through all of them before I get to where new posts will show up.

Just to let you know I have made a werewolf only forum already. I have had it up and running for about a week now. I still have some work to do to it, but haven't had the Were players give any feedback on it yet.

That's cool. What do you think of these boards? Do they work for the WW players? Is there something more you'd like to see?

I'm working with Henry at the moment to put together a werewolf website similar to the vampire site www.emeraldcitychronicles.com

You might want to talk to him about what your capabilities are and if you are interested in helping with that too, we could maybe work something out between the three of us.

Actually I like the way this forum is set up. I made the one I was trying to get implemented into the game, because of the original SBC boards.

[Barnaby Cuthbert]

Roight on. Once Henry gets his act together and picks up some site hosting through my host I can host Tribe avatars too.
