    No, not especially.

    I think that within a few months, I can't see the Boards through the Forums.
    I stick with Hugo, Apeman, Chevalier, Nakia, etc... In a non-romantic relation way of speaking.

    :) I don't think I would trust the posts in a forum devoted to the love-lorn. I'm sure some people would be posting just to post. Not anyone here of course. Oh heck with my warped sense of humor I would be tempted. :evil: :hippy:

    Actually, we need a new forum to challenge PoR for fewest posts. :p

    But if you do decide to make a new forum, I would suggest breaking with tradition and name it after a song - for example, J. Geils Band's "Love Stinks". :shake:

    Sticker summed it up nicely - the only benefit I can see to making a separate forum is that I'd be less likely to end up reading a thread I've no interest in. I'd probably visit that forum as frequently as I visit the one about tech stuff (IOW, almost never).

    No, no and no. I have been against pretty much all dividing up of the forums and am against this too. :)

    Always better with few forums with action than many forums without.

    [​IMG] Having had time to think about it, a "Love Stinks" forum wouldn't generate enough traffic; the Relationship Rant Thread has been distinctly quiet for a while, and others seem comfortable contributing such matters to the RBP. I doubt whether "Affaires du Coeur" truly warrant more than that. Although they could get a mention in the description of Whatnots, just to clarify things. Then people could just post there; these threads only pop up once in a while, anyway.

    [​IMG] Yes, those are pretty much my thoughts on the subject now that I've had some time to think about it (and have read the comments here). For now, I'll just add a mention of such threads to the description of Whatnots. Thanks for everyone's input.

    Well - what would be good would be if the Relationship Rants thread had have been continued - because I hate wading through people's problems in RB :p

    Use that name and I am hereby charging SP a $50 royalty for every post that appears in that forum. :)

    I do not think that a relationships forum is needed.

    Well I guess Tal would have to rename it to "Brothel of not all that Intellectual Lusts" then. :lol:

    I have not played BG2 for a while, but what is the bar owned by Letinan (one of the first adventures you can do, rescuing the gladiators and stopping the child slavery) there was a brothel upstairs there.

    Or, you could have called it the "Demonweb Pits" after the main character's tryst with the drow chick in the drow city.

    Finally, you could have called it "Hell and Back"

    We didn't even get to the formative stage, let alone naming.
