At permies, we have forums and categories. Categories are groups of forums like
growies and a forum is a place full of threads, like
nuts.
How did we get so many forums, and what do you do if there is a topic you think would make a great forum on permies?
Questions:
1. do we have
a forum that already does this job?
2. do we have a forum that could accommodate this subject with just a little bit of tweaking?
3. do we have
enough content to fill the new forum (not yet) and enough interest to keep it active? On the flip side, would filling up the new forum empty the old?
4. does it match
the goals of this site?
What do we need to build the forum?
a. a name - preferably one word that describes everything
b. a
volunteer staff member to do the work (it takes about 20-40 hours)
c. a
thread introducing the forum that we can link to at the top of the forum
d. some words to put at the top of the forum to describe it.
e. at least 50, but preferably 100 threads that would populate the new forum
Fulfilling all of the above doesn't guarantee the new forum will happen. But it's a good first step.
