Do we need to hide this forum?

Post by **Vain** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 5:11 am

And make it viewable only to people who WANT to see/read/contribute to the topics?

Post by **Seareach** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 5:17 am

Can we do that? That might be a good idea.

Post by **Vain** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 5:22 am

We can. I just need to figure out how again but if there's a need for it then there's a way

Post by **Seareach** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 5:29 am

It would certainly avoid all these "subjects are spoilers" issues.

OK. I am trying something but will leave things as they are for a few days.

Those who want to access the FR forum should click on this link:

kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/groupcp.php

and join the Fatal Revenant group. Seareach is the moderator for the group and will enable your membership to it. Once you have all subscribed, then I will set the forum permissions to only be viewable etc by members of the group.

Has this forum been sealed??

Yet??

Subjects are still spoilers, unless you assume that everybody who requests access has finished FR.

Me, I'll be out of here the day its released, until I read it.

True. But, I really do think that if you're coming into this forum you should expect spoilers.... <shrug> I thought it was a good idea (hiding the forum).

Doesn't bother me.

Are threads in this forum hidden from those who use the "view posts since last visit" function?

Post by **Avatar** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 11:02 am

As far as I know, yes.

And from the search function too.

Of course, we might end up with a whole slew from new people who wouldn't know this forum exists...

Yes, as far as I know.

Um...you have a point Av, but I assume the announcement regarding this forum being hidden will remain in the announcement's forum. Might be a good idea to put a sticky in the Runes Forum pointing people in the right direction?

Oh, I don't know...ask Vain! He did it!

I was approved!! Woohoo! I was nervous for a while there. I honestly thought it could have gone either way!

heheh I was wondering too!

Just a thought, make the forum visible, but prevent entry by anyone who hasn't requested it. That way, people will at least know it's there.

Post by **CovenantJr** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 10:24 am

Makes sense to me.

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 11:07 am

If it's visible, then I think the topic titles would still show up on other pages.

Post by **Avatar** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 11:41 am

Ah, we wouldn't want that.
