Captain Marvelous 540 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) 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.

Lady Rarity Pony 4,890 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 That sounds like a nice idea as long as people aren't gonna spam silly clubs that no one wants to be part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop 8,383 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) 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.

Crispy 5,561 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I kinda think it'd be too focused on a forum that's generally pretty focused already, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopp 2,050 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I kinda think it'd be too focused on a forum that's generally pretty focused already, but that's just me. 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.

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.
