    Instead of talking about forums to add when are we gonna get rid of the forum on PoR?Whens the last time someone posted in there other than to say this game sucks or I can't plkay because of a bug lol.

    PS-We should torture the creators by making them play the game.

    Without the speed patch

    OK a DM corner isn't neccessary. There is already 2nd/3rd edition forum and a Roleplay Corner forum.

    SP has a portion of the site for books, so a book forum doesn't seem out of line. But a seperate forum for movies does. SP doesn't sell movies. That's a whatnots thing.

    Let's not divide whatnots into 20 smaller forums. We don't need a "dating" forum or a "meaning of life" forum :p.

    It's taking long enough as it is to scroll from the top of the main forum screen to the bottom :p.

    I also think that a book section would be a neat addition. However - when there is intense traffic I'm hard presed to follow the threads on the forums of my interest - BG-1/ -2/ ToB/ IWD/ IWD-2/ NWN/ CS/ Whatnots and that keeps me pretty busy.

    Many more topics would only make this worse :D and lead to a splitting in traffic: People would mainly specialise, much more than they do now already.

    [​IMG] Ok then. Books and Games it is.

    As for the foreign languages forum... Totally out of the question. For one thing, there can't be any posting going on here that all of the mods & admins wouldn't understand. And more importantly, people who don't know (or don't want to bother with) enough English to be understood can't enjoy any of the resources SP offers anyway, and would get very limited help on the forums as well.

    They have websites in their own language and are better off as a part of community there.

    Books already implemented so I'll just agree with BigB that splitting whatnots up into little pieces isn't good.

    A game forum. hmm. I made threads with two diffrent games and none of them attracted more than 4 or so posts. Shooters threads are hardly ever answered so I don't think a "games forum would be active here" Any other forum might, but it seem from the amount of responses, that noone here plays or pays attention to any other games than RPG.

    You're a bit late. Both new forums have been opened a couple of hours ago. :D
