What are your thoughts? Questions? Opinions, Complaints. How do we recruit, keep the forum active, make it more interesting and fun.

Well so far, recruitment looks like a very small issue, but I have made my account on other forums a bit of an ad. I have the url in my signature, so that seems like a useful way of gettin' people.

It looks pretty good so far, two questions, should we have a Staff-Only forum? It won't be used much yet but if we grow much bigger it will become quite necessary to allow mods and admins to confer and think out their actions.
As well, I would request a new usergroup, Author; that is a member who helps do the Write-Ups since we will have a lot more vs than the old underground it would be helpful it we could encourage people to help by giving them their own group.
The author group wouldn't have any special powers, of course, they'd just be ''members under a different name'' but I think it would help encourage them to do write-ups for themselves

@ Fallen yes thats a good idea. Remember though guys we have a pretty good group of members but they can't sustain us, the more the better than we have a constant movement here.
Talos: Yes we need a Staff Forum, and the Author group would be nice. If you can set up that's fine. I'll create the Staff Forum.
Anything else?

Only the original admin can create groups I'm afraid, you'll have to do the Author group yourself

Are you sure Talos? I could on U1, and both the Undergrounds use ProBoards as a base system.

Btw Fellow U2ers, don't feel shy about posting threads. If your not sure where it goes ask. The more good topics we have the more variety of people will be interested. As long as it's not blatenty stupid and offensive I'm not worried.

I am currently less active Vs. forum wise, so I think I'll be mainly posting gaming, RP, and General stuff.

The forum-wide one? I could do that if you wanted; a shared universe much like SB has with OBS. though our one would not be quite so....extreme....

You couldn't remake OBS. Or anything like it. We would fail miserably.

A banner... No, I have no tools to do such a thing. But if I did, what would you want? -wave wave- ;D Even though right now I'm using the original theme, ironically. o.o

How ? Not OBS lite but our own little story Well, I figured I could do a short Scifi story set in a universe based on the forums you know something akin to ''In the far future, the mighty Underground that had once spanned the galaxy is falling apart; lack of government, the absence of important member-worlds and infighting have all but doomed the ancient empire; but there is still hope for a few die-hard member-worlds have torn themselves free from the dying underground and travelled out to deep space; their mission is to set up a new underground, a new home for those who no longer have one. They will fight tooth and claw, but in the end will they succeed?'

I like the idea. Lets do it.
Also I'm considering two Categories.
The Music Room: with links to different stuff
The World Today:for articles about the world today.
A sub forum will also be opened Matt's List of Species and Creatures. This will be the place for the groups like: The Empire, The Yuuzhan Vong, the Tyranids, The Eldar and other groups, races and such.

With more post counts you get more stars. I can give you a title what do you want?
