First, I’d like to thank whoever is responsible for listing the more noteworthy fanthreads as Community Resources in the new sticky.
It’s nice to know that we haven’t been completely forgotten about, and that may help keep us from falling into irrelevance from a lack of attention.
We’re grateful for that. Thank you.
But as I’m sure everyone knew when they saw that it cannot and will not compensate for the fact that fanthreads are still in a chat forum, and though we might get a lurker to spy on us every so often thanks to the Community Resource link, we’re not going to attract new users to come in and discuss the Gaian community in a forum dedicated to chit chat.
We’re not going to get new users to discuss the Gaian community in a thread that prohibits discussions and encourages topicless banter.
So, again I have to ask,
1. Will the fanthreads ever see a forum of their own?
2. Everytime we ask this, we’re always asked in return for our suggestions. Here’s our suggestion: create a forum for fanthreads. We’ve even detailed in past AtAs how several little-used GCD subforums could be combined in a sensible way that would make room for fanthreads. So, having heard this suggestion, what do you think of it?
3. If neither of the above grab your attentions, is there anything we can say that will? I feel like we’re picking in the dark for some magical “idea” or “suggestion” that will get attention, and so far we’ve apparently not come up with it,
so if what we’ve suggested so far isn’t what you want to hear, or if you’ve been waiting for one of us to suggest something you’ve already been considering, please let us in. Otherwise, could you just tell us whatever it is you want to hear?
Oh, and zOMG! is wonderful, even in Beta. Definitely worth the four-year wait.
