So What is the Next Phase to Springboard this Great Message Board?

so as a new board it's doing great in terms of membership, but what's next on getting this MB to rival CCMB and AAMB?

Brainstorm / Ideas?

We need a top board NQAT. Just like the one they used to have down at the old Empire Pool.

I climbed up to the top level once as a 10 year old, and shat myself! Think it was the 5th board.

Going off the 2nd level springboard was no problem though

Sorry to digress :lol:

When I was learning to swim at the Empire Pool, I was afraid of water, only on the last day of lessons I just jumped in and started to swim!

Did exactly the same when I was young.....that includes donating to the poo pile while there

We need more sections. A media section for talk about gaming, music, computing etc. That'll attract an audience itself.

Then you need a politics section for the croesy and blue plato types.

Then you need another section possibly for blogging so members can have their own thread to write up their own views there so others can read it.

Its all expansion thats needed to appeal to a larger range of audience. If this forums offers more in a better structured manner where trolls cant easily destroy a thread people will come here. The reason the politics discussion died down on CCMB for a bit was because trolls were hijacking serious discussions and annoying those who wanted serious talk.

Not sure if I am a fan of separate forums myself. I like all the thread titles to be in one place, so I can dip in and out, and I also like to be surprised by the ridiculous and inane.

This topic has been done to death on another forum BTW :laughingabit:

Totally understand, but would like this MB to expand and not just go by the wayside if you catch my drift.
