What makes a good forum?YOUR opinion required! (take 2)

Waar · 2010-07-25T18:37:23+00:00

So SD has been stagnating a bit recently, and there hasn't been that many new ideas being discussed so I guess I wanted revive an old thread. I decided it would be best to simply start fresh without all the previously posted opinions because I want to hear from the new generation of fakku user. This is what the original thread creator posted, tell me what you think. maniakidd wrote...Hi everyone, After reading the announcement regarding forum policies and behaviour of readers,I've decided to open up this thread. Perhaps somewhere along the lines of this thread ,we could find a way to make Fakku a better forums that it already is? :D Now back to the topic,what do you think makes a good forums where it remains active and has a big load of loyal fanbase? I'll start the ball rolling... IMO,a good forums is where the content it provides,helps people out. It can be under anyone's terms,whether it be that big hard boss you cant seem to beat in Halo or Metal Gear Solid, or techniques,tips and tricks relating to say,technology or gardening. The scope to talk about is virtually endless though I dont think its a good idea to have too many topics to talk about. The second would be to have constant helpful replies made to threads and general regulation from the admins and mods.Applaud those that contribute intelligently to a discussion and punish those who cuss and hiss extremely for the smallest of reasons. Now in terms of Fakku,to me,i think that it would be great to have weekly themes of something in every different category of the forums,much like the MOTEMOTE Character battle section. For example.under the "videogames" section,maybe a mod or admin could start a new thread that concentrates on an individual genre or game.From my POV,this could help fans of the genre or game discuss the common interest and also help entice newbies to learn more. the way I see it,this helps out everyone :D . It could be done as per "stickied thread" so everyone can see it and removed,the week after. I think this helps people to have something to look forward to each week. Now,the dear admins and mods ,as well as the main contributors of the forums are doing a SPLENDID job in keeping the forums alive.This thread is just for me to express opinion,it is in no way an indirect attack at fakku of any sort. Also keep in mind that my opinion may not agree with yours,and heck,it shouldnt matter to you anyway.Everyone has their individual opinions right?:) Lets crack our brains people! :P it's not quite my opinion but it should be a good starting point for a discussion. If this idea fails I won't do something like this again.

A good discussion about a good subject without trolls ruining the discussion. And the bugs need to be fixed.

I just started coming back to FAKKU so I don't really know the condition of the forums, but just from my activity with it the past few days/week it seems to be in good shape.

I check out almost every category of the forum and they have good on-going discussions, some that is just ridiculous yet popular.

What I mean by 'it seems to be in good shape' is that compared to other internet forums, FAKKU doesn't really have to deal with spammers, flamers, or trolls as all of that is taken care of in the IB category. Especially when we've already dealt with such problems including hackers in the past. Other than that the activity may be a little sluggish on some days maybe because an awesome fappable hentai was just released so everyone is busy with their selves, you know? :)
