The point of the site? Having fun. What will make people want to go to this forum? What does it have to offer that is new? "Having fun"? Aren't people having fun here and other places. No one will join or be active if there is no reason to be. You cannot just create a forum and expect it to automatically become the next psipogbb or extremely active forum. It doesnt work that way. |

First you are thinking about server, next about content (forum). Never "first - content, second - server"  . If you want to create a site, please, PLEASE - read something about it first. |

you all don't need a new forum, but simply make your forum different from everything else created. Anyone can make a "fun" forum, in fact all newbies try to do that, I've notice. Offer something NO one had done. My site had a few things no one had done which is why it has survived for two years and doing very well. I offer 60 articles, a 120 some term glossary, a second (compared to psipog's) FAQ, an active chatroom (even if it's completely out of control and mostly off topic) a one of a kind psi directory, and an active forum where you will get help, lots of help. But the forum isn't the main attraction, the site is.

For me (and all other psions I know) the forum is the main attraction. It is the place you can talk to the psi community. You can't normaly talk about psi, becuase many people will think you're insane. Tlaking to people who think you are sane is comforting.

I'd have to agree with stolide on this one. Your articles are great but without the forums your site wouldn't have lasted a month. Don't take that in the wrong way because I'm sure a hundred other sites would like to have the quality of articles but the forums are what keep your site going... and that means more newbies can find your forums and then read the articles and get started on their own path =)

no but he probablly made the forum since this forum Psi world is dieing if you would pay attention to it.its becoming less active every week.you dont have to attack someone jsut because they made a forum similar to this one.for one its under new adminstration maybe some people dont like the mods or something here.he is basically creating a forum for newbies to learn and get better at psionics and actually has a chance at making it a non fluff place.for psi world the fluff will never go.he is just doing what Jedi did when she started this website.

I dunno. I just hate people copying other people's ideas and work, not just mine, but anyones. I rather people come up with some new idea or focus.

Heh, there's a debate going on above me, and here I am asking a question...lol
Site owner (whoever you are) how do you like having your newsletter on your site (rather than in a yahoo group). I'm thinking about doing it, only because it will make everything more convenient for the readers (and me...but that's not important *wink* *wink*).

I know, right? I'm copying the idea of a Newsletter off the the Cauldron (there's is really different, it's just like an article and columns and info about the topic, not the site.) |

Hmm. It looks like the base forum of psiworld, along with a few other related abilities, some of psifight's sparring forums, a 'healing team', and a restricted board where you get taught by set teachers.. (Psipog?) And it has 114 members.
Oh so people seem to like not being able to go into certain sections so they have to work for it. Plus people also seem to like combat and childish interfaces. >.>

I'm sure they have a few more forums and maybe some more locked forums...I think they should have read JK's article that she tells EVERYONE to read...lol. |
