A guest forum, hmm.
 

I saw on another board today...

A forum for unregistered users, The posts in it were questions about why they should join, problems joining, and questions and requests for being unbanned.

I think this might be a good idea for Zelaron, any thoughts?

Sounds interesting. It will work if people don't spam in it.

Heh, I for one think it is a great idea. Would this page be accessable by ALL members or just Mods, Sup Mods, Admin, and God? I don't think regular members should be able to visit it, like the Ad-Mod Forum, etc.

Well, I like the idea.

Well regulars would be able to view it so they can pass their opinions and advice to guests.

Most guests are viewing Zelaron threads in the low bandwidth version, meaning they probably get here from Google directly to the thread without actually watching the forum list. I still like the idea though~ :)

If admin decides to create this section I'll babysit it.

Yeah, because you know that particular members that are not very, how you say, mature about things, so someone would need to keep a close eye on it to keep members from posting things that would turn people away, rather than attract them in.

Is the member thing set in stone? Or could there possibly be people like "News Posters" for that Forum that can enter it, called "Newbie Poster" or something like that. That way, a handle on who is putting out the good name of Zelaron can be hand selected.

Yea like the "Zelaron Welcome Team" or something, but thats a little far off right now, we just need to see if the forum would work at this point.

The "Welcome Wagon". I like that. :)

How about the "Nice people"?

We could get them to jump in the loony bin with the rest of us.

Zelaron Welcome Team... mmmm so their special power is to post nice things...? lol

They would get a staff position and a shiny new penny!

How 'bout no?

Well, their jobs ain't much different from the new posters. Since I belive Kuja and Uncap would do a good job. I think the news posters should be the zelaron welcome team.

Bad Idea, IMO. I hate new members.

This is a good idea. So does this mean a new forum will be introduced soon? :)

Hmm i personally think this could turn into a new and improved flame forum. And acually drive new members away. Zelaron isnt really known for having a really warm welcome. More like a flame. But if you do make this forums this should be the icon i feel would fit the best.

I forgot to add also. Post count shouldnt count either

Well, if you want to have more activity, dont allow guests.

Actually, this place is very welcome in the beginning, if you don't act like an idiot and run a muck all over the place. People tend to want to get involved in the FF, and that is where they usually make their mistake. We should have that forum locked or something until someone has at least 100 posts.

Oh yeah, and I agree, if this forum goes up, I don't think post count should count either. :)
