Suggestion: Fan Clubs

[Captain Marvelous 544]

Now I enjoy myself here, as much as one like my self would, but I had an idea.

 

Now I don't know which forum it should go under, perhaps show discussions, but how about we have a "Fanclub" sub-forum.

 

Basically, it could be where people would start a small MLPForums fanclub about anything of the show. Be it from individual characters (ie: The 20% cooler club) the group fanclub (ie: The AppleBuckingFamily fanclub) or for some, the shipping fanclubs (Ie: Fluttershy x Big Mac).

 

It's just a thought.

 

and of course the Clubs will be MLP focus only.

That sounds like a nice idea as long as people aren't gonna spam silly clubs that no one wants to be part of.

My experience with 'club' based sub boards is that they typically start off with a fair deal of activity before declining into almost complete disuse. They also contribute to board clutter, which is an issue this place (thankfully!) does not have.

 

...though the fact the focus in this case would be a bit narrower than what I've seen done elsewhere might help to prevent that from happening here, I suppose.

I kinda think it'd be too focused on a forum that's generally pretty focused already, but that's just me.

First fanclub should be named "XFizzle's 100% Pure Colombian Awesome Palace of Kickassery"

Can I be Chancellor of Spacery?

First fanclub should be named "The Marvelous adventures of Captain Marvelous and his awesomeness"

My question still stands.

Same thought was goin on in my head when I read the first post. The forums here are already pretty much a fanclub. But the idea of a few subforums dedicated to each pony wouldn't be such a bad idea.

I've been on many forums that have had this, and I completly support the idea.

[Ezynell 2,036]

I agree with Finest

I will agree, as this can get out of control. But I dont think it will here.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

As much as I like the idea I don't think it will work...so I vote neigh

Buzzkill or what? Well, everypony has their own opinion and I respect that.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

RDD, the idea would start off well but it would end with turning into an unused feature...in my opinion at least

Kind of hard to see your opinion if you don't give a reason why it would not work.

[Derpy.H 177]

I was saying that in the first place but I said Yay as I never thought this forum would experience that.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

@Finest

Zoop explains it above if you want the reason

[Derpy.H 177]

So your just saying no and just referencing someone elses post? Well, it works I guess. Could've posted something about it but, oh well.

Eh. If someone has already summed up your thoughts on a matter such as this, there isn't always much point in restating everything that they themselves had already said earlier in the thread, in my view.

I was thinking that at the least they could have just said a portion of it.

If I understand what you're suggesting... each "fan club" would be a thread dedicated to a specific element from MLP: FiM? If that's the case, I'm not sure I understand how such tightly focused discussions wouldn't already be covered by the "Show Discussion" forum, anyway. Can you please elaborate a bit on your idea?

 

In any case, these two posts sum my current thoughts up quite nicely.
