awesomebrick Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Hello EB! It seems making your own forum is pretty popular right now so I decided to make my own! you can see it here! I also need some Mods so if anyone interested let me now! I hope you join and have a great time on my forum
Big Cam Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 You're right, this does seem to be the new thing. After being a member here for only one month, why start a new forum and try to take EB members away, it looks similar to EB anyway. What differances does your forum offer from EB?
def Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I'm all for plurality and differences of opinion. Awesomebrick, can you tell us what sets your forum apart from other Lego forums?
awesomebrick Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 Uhhhmmm.......... You guys are right it doesent really have much more to offer It's just because I wanted my own site where I can chat with my freinds about our hobby. Though my freinds might not be joining till tuesday. Plus I saw the link for a free forum and thought I should make the most of it. awesomebrick
MetroiD Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Plus I saw the link for a free forum and thought I should make the most of it. You should bear in mind that what you're doing here is probably not the best way of advertising your forum. If it were an actual LUG we were talking about here, it would have sounded just about right, but the way it is now, I just can't see the sense of starting a separate forum for you and your friends and then going on to try and popularize it on Eurobricks. This kind of events seem to be occurring all the time lately and even though I applaud your willingness to commit to creating and administrating a new forum, I really do not see the point in doing so unless you can state a good reason for its existence in the first place. If it's a place for you and your pals to hang around, then you just don't need to try and make it an EB spin-off.
Big Cam Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I'm assuming this is the same style of forum that others have been making lately, I'm curious, how long is it free for?
Holodoc Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I'm assuming this is the same style of forum that others have been making lately, I'm curious, how long is it free for? In addition to that I don't see any sense in being able to view the forum only if you're logged in. I'm not registering to any site where I can't see beforehand what the site contains. It's just because I wanted my own site where I can chat with my freinds about our hobby. That's enough for you to create a new forum? You can get it all here...
NewRight Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Most forum sites are free btw. You just have to make it a forumer, forumotion or whatever you're using for hosting subdomain. I made one once for kicks just to see what it is like. I didn't do very much with it. The point is it is going to be free all of the time and on almost every site. Unless you buy one and have your own domain name which can get a bit pricey.
awesomebrick Posted April 19, 2010 Author Posted April 19, 2010 Well after reading what you've all said I've decided to delete the forum. Maybe I'll start a new one sometime but for now. awesomebrick
Captain Green Hair Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I guess we can close this topic up then.
