Blue Phoenix Ace Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 These forums are very new, I just got them going today. I plan on doing a few things around here to make it more usable. There's a lot of extra controls everywhere, it's kind of a mess right now. Also, I want to choose a color theme that more closely matches the aromantic flag. So, green-ish stuff as opposed to blue stuff. The blue isn't terrible looking, but I think green will look nice. I also need to create categories and sub-forums. My goal here is not to have 20 different forums that nobody ever visits. It tends to spread the posts out to a point that people might not read them. So, the goal for now is a few forums with wider impact than many many forums with tiny impact. So, I'm asking you, what types of forums would you like to see here? Is a "aromanticism" forum all we need for now or do we need more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezzo Forte Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I know plenty of people tend to appreciate having a sexuality subforum, especially since there's so few forums for sexual aros to discuss their unique experiences concerning the topic. I remember correctly, there was usually a general aro chat, one for relationships, one for sexuality/gender, and then some miscellaneous stuff like off topic, Open Mic/Artistic Endeavors, just for fun, and some sort of politics one. I think a lot of the sites used AVEN as a model for subforum ideas, but I think a general aro chat and an off topic board would probably encompass most things if you want to keep things minimal.

Blue Phoenix Ace Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks, I'll see if anybody comes along to chime in as well. I think I'd like to have at most about five forums for now, and if/when we get more members here we can expand that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Sky Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 A general chat forum (can be sort of like JFF and Off-A on AVEN where all the random and miscellaneous stuff gets posted unless you'd rather make those into a separate forum), an arts forum, and a sexuality forum are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

This seems like a good idea. A place where people wont have to be afraid of off-putting anyone while bringing up that subject. I know there have been a few aros at "aromantic talk" discussing this. Might be nice with a place where they don't necessarily have to watch their tongue, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
