Actually, I think that's a cute idea. As for the leader/co-leader intro stuff, I'm actually thinking that it can be different according to forums - mine can be consolidated into one thread, and you can keep yours the way it is! Does that sound okay? That way we can all sort of mod our threads according to our preference c:

If that's okay with you, we should just tell the rest of the admin that they can kind of ~~~ do whatever in their threads, as long as there's somewhere for discussion and the necessary things! And if they need to add something we can just let them know.

ALSO, shall we have a totally separate thread (independent of the sub-forums) made completely for monthly sprints - where people can post their forms? The first post can have all of the info about the monthly sprint, i.e., how it works, what forms to fill out. That way we can have them all in one place? I think that would be easiest. And we would need people to post their forms twice, once on here (pinging the user in charge of their collections) and once off-site. How does that sound to you?

That sounds good to me! Right now I have mine for meeting the leaders where my-coleader can make a post under me, and then I have a general discussion area set up.

I think it'd be nice for each leader to bring something along the lines we want, but in their own unique way.

I totally agree with raw's idea~

I'll wait for to make the topic then? ^^

IRC chat kept me cracking up for awhiiiiile after it was done XD

I'm glad you're liking our ideas! Raw is about to send out another max ping SO SORRY ABOUT THAT GUYS

Ah so much stuff to read... Okay so the intro is just like, about what our section is, right? When do you want it by/how long should it be?

ALSO, ABOUT THE PRIZES FOR THE SPRINTS. HOW THE HELL WOULD WE DO THAT WITH HOARDS?

Pretty much. Just get up an introduction board introducing yourself as the leader and rules to expect for your section. Then make a general discussion thread. And then...add whatever you want. Soph will actually be sending out another ping soon.

I've been thinking with hoards, that each participant can say "I'm collecting x kitty items" or something, and if they win they'll get a kitty item?

IDEK We'll figure it out soon!

I'm down for another IRC soon! As long as behaves xD

And I'm actually not here (you don't see me), I'm trying to get a bit of extra sleep while I can. I just couldn't stop myself from checking in. You guys seem to be doing awesome getting the forums set up! Can't wait until later when I check them out. :)

important staff stuff!

Hey all! Sorry for the overload of pings. and I are just trying to get these forums sorted out smoothly. We just had a discussion in the IRC about sub-forums and here's a rundown of what we decided.

1. Run your sub-forum however you want, with the exception of two mandatory things. The mandatory things are an introduction, in which the leader and co-leader introduce themselves so that the people in your group can familiarize themselves with you, and know to contact you with concerns about your respective collection. The other mandatory thing is a general discussion thread for your collection. (e.g., My introduction thread and general chat are combined, while 's introduction thread and general chat are separate, but we both meet the requirements.) Other than those two things, put whatever you want the sub-forum that you're moderating. (e.g., I suggested to that she adds a 'stick the person above you' thread in her sub-forum since sticker people need to be stuck! By the same token, I created a ">New Beanbag Releases thread because it's something I thought would be useful.) Feel free to create and pin whatever threads you want in your sub-forum! You're moderating it. Just make sure it runs smoothly and that your titles are clear and easy to navigate.

RE: The FAQ of "Should my co-leader and I introduce ourselves on the same board?" It's up to you. Whatever you want to do. While on the topic of introductions - say what you're comfortable with. It doesn't have to be super personal, just let them know you're their collection leader.

As for RULES, if you have anything that you want to restrict people from doing in your thread, make it explicit in your first post! If not, I will be coming up with general offsite forum rules that should take care of everything else.

2. Monthly Sprints. Ignore the part in my offsite forum post that tells people to post their monthly sprint goals on the general board. We will have a separate board independent of all of the sub-forums that will deal entirely with monthly sprint forms. People will post all of their information there. A rundown of the sprints is as follows:

Ping or if there's anything you want us to clear up/elaborate on! Thank you all for your hard work so far, we're super excited about this cult ;u;

We're getting there! Just need to get lots of leader and co's threads up before opening day!

<3 I'm not gonna be in it tonight anyways XD Khaled and I are watching a movie ^o^

I writting my 'meet me' board as we speak. Uhm, as for the "stick the person above you thread", I'd love to refrain from that (if 's okay with that too) since there's not many members (As for now) maybe in a distant future. I think the thread could start really slow and it could take for someone years to get a sticker stuck if there'snot many members anyway. I was thinking about, instead, posting a reference to the existings threads on subeta on the subject as the fluency of posts is totally quicker. I used both of those threads that exists so I can give some advice on the use of them...

What do you guys think?

A reference board would be awesome! I agree with that because you're right, it would take a long time, esp. since the forums are offsite. (I didn't mean to put you on the spot, I was just using it as an example in my post! You're in no way obligated to make that board and in fact I agree with you that it's better to have a reference board with advice instead!) :)

You can totally put those in your post!

If you do decide to do a stick the person above, just remember that it won't only be people in the stickers collecting joining in on the sticking, but the whole board :p

That's true :P Of course everyone's invited!

Working on it :3

yay! good luck, and if you need anything feel free to ask!

MAYBE WE CAN JUST SEND HOARDERS A SHIT TON OF STUFF THEY DONT HAVE IN THEIR HOARD EQUALING THE AMOUNT OF SP THAT WE WOULD SPEND ON A COLLECTION PRIZE

OMG HOW WOULD WE DO PRIZES FOR ACHIEVEMENT PEOPLE?

Can I make like different posts in the same topic for different kind of informations?

Example, about me, FAQ, advice, my collection, etc, etc, etc?

Sure! Whatever you want to do is totally fine. That seems like it would be really organized :)

Going offline now to do HW, be back tomorrow. night guys c:

Send them things they need to finish an achievement ;p

Should get to my forum threads tomorrow x3

Good morning all! Yay, finally signed up for the offsite forum!
