Forgot to put my 2 dinars in. Igot sidetracked by Electra Woman. [Razz]
About the idea that adding diverse forums will make this less of a Xena board: It seems to me that right now the only part of the scrolls that is still Xena is the Xena forum, a good bit of the Subtext forum posts, and a bit of the Fan Fic forum. The other forums deal with other stuff. No different from what we'd have with additional forums that are proposed . I guess that is why I don't see diversifying types of forums as a potential "threat" to the original nature of the board- just an opportunity to grow, which is what it seems we've been "unofficially" doing since the series ended anyway.
And I'm still a rabid Xena fan. [Big Grin]

People will still be Scrollers, there will still be a Poteidaia (ie. the Poteidaia Tavern) but it will allow the Scrolls to broaden out and not alienate newer members.

Thoughts?

The scrolls do need to broaden out while keeping
the old forums intact, imo. This will not only not alienate new members but hopefully bring in more newbies.

i think adding some tv forums would be cool, maybe
combining where it can be done. And why stop with just tv shows? how about a LOTR/Harry Potter-
or movie series forum?

Hate to sound like a broken record or a
cd stuck on repeat, but i think a Music Forum would & should get as much response as most
tv shows.

Or if you wanna combine the Simpsons/Anime & Music into one forum, you could call it-
Toons & Tunes... [Smile] ^_^

And wouldn't new forums call for some more mods
to be elected? There you go, another good way to
broaden out & get the scroll juices a-cookin'!

I'm Totally opposed.
The scrolls ALWAYS has worked best as a small community of ..'friends'
As it grew it became a more faceless. nastier, city of strangers with smaller sub-communitys..
Umm Cliques they were referred to...for a while [Wink]

Things must change. I understand..Time stands still for no one ..
Not even me
but a slow rate of change might be best,No...??

Why not change the new buffy forum to 'other TV' or if Buffy is thriving.. make 1 more fourum

More people IS NOT better...
Quality of participants not Quantity is what ALWAYS separated this MB from the other Slag out there..

In fact when this board was at its Largest it was also at its worst..
the Most fractious..
the most rude & inconsiderate
Its far from wasting away...

if it Aint broke dont fix it... [Razz]

I found a thriving MB for my recent 2nd fave show ..."La Femme Nikita" it had a bewildering array of sub-forums..
people with 4& 5000 posts & was mostly a half-dozen chicks & a few guys having sexy/innuendo chat stuff..
I was monumentally dissappointed...

If we dilute this place too much you will never be able to come back to where we are now ..

IT will become all eggnog & nonsense....
like Broadcast TV...

A bunch of old friends meeting in 1 place has an appeal all its own....
Im going to post a comment about the old scrolls in the FITE CLUB forum...
Ulrich& linxi had a polite difference of opinion @ the earliest scrolls.. I intend to add my 2 cents too.. [Eek!]

Ill try to snip out the relevant stuff & post it in the General forum..
if any care for a peek go here

I'm opposed to changing the name of the Scrolls. I think adding other forums is good, but I'd like the overall name to remain the same. As a tribute to the legacy we share (We ALL share, old-timers and not-so-old-timers alike).

It's okay. Maybe I sounded a bit rough in my reply to your first post! I'm sorry. I didnt want to fight either!

I really think we could have 1 more forum to discuss other tv-shows but not more.

I want to add some quotes of pple that I think are really important:

Gabber said: "The thing I like about this place is that the essence of it is X:WP...start to change that too dramatically, and I think the place will begin to lose some of its magic. Just my opinion."

I agree 100%.

Brucy said: "More people IS NOT better...
Quality of participants not Quantity is what ALWAYS separated this MB from the other Slag out there.."


I agree 200%.

Smirk Morgan said: "... I'd like the overall name to remain the same. As a tribute to the legacy we share."

I agree 300%.

...PLEASE DON'T change the name of the board - it just wouldn't make any sense,now would it?

I mean....sorry,but I just dont like too drastic changes!
Just add 1 forum and it'll be okay but if we add forums for HP,LOTR,Charmed,Music,...etc....soon the board will be sooo huge that it will just be confusing and pple will start to talk at cross-purposes! (do you know what I mean? not sure that's English!)

the reason why we all got to know each other is Xena:WP!!! Why push that aside just because it is not of current interest to some of us anymore???

I'm kewl with the idea of adding ONE more forum. Do that if you really think it's necessary but please leave the name and everything else as it is!!! Please?! PLEASEEEEEE?!!! *imitates Gabby's begging-actions (or whatever you wanna call that) from MHR*

*sigh* I dunno what else to say.... [Frown] I'm kinda desperate...

I was wrong to introduce the subject of name change into this thread.

Enough people have indicated they would like some new forums so I'm gonna throw some up.

Thanks for all your feedback! [Smile]

This is what I've done:

1. made it so people can have Avatars, some with Xena and Buffy in 'em

2. fixed the Scrolls, as there were many things that were broken with the old board eg. not getting sent passwords

3. added a polls feature which many people seem to be enjoying

4. added new forums which a lot of Scrollers indicated they would like

5. increased posting here by approximately ten times in just a couple of weeks

OK, I'm not gonna open up any more forums for a while, until we see how the new lot go.

So, I won't be able to accommodate any more suggestions.

Thanks for the contributions. [Smile]

Tree pretty, fire bad.
