Do we need to hide this forum?

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

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

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

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.

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). :)

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

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?

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

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.

Makes sense to me.

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