Kevin's Watch

Okay, here's most of the talk that occured over the last month concerning the possibility of a Comic Forum:

Queeaqueg wrote:I am glad you like my idea of a Comic/Anime forum.

Queeaqueg wrote:If there is a Comic Forum, I would go for SgtNull (as Mod) because he loves comics by the sound of it, and Me because it was my idea and I make comics.

Queeaqueg I think should be given a chance. And perhaps Null as well.

Most say yes. I think it's a good idea - though I wouldn't visit it myself.

So, it's not a lot of people chiming in on it, but basically 13 people out of 15 are for it, so it seems like it would probably do ok, but I was thinking that maybe if we just ask people for a yea or nay vote, we might get a better idea....probably not, but whatever.

I think that, where the naysayers claim there's little interest been shown, if the forum was made it would take off (because there are a lot of comics fans here, even if there's not much discussion). On the other hand, I don't see much reason to add yet another forum.
Overall I don't really see any good reason not to have a comics forum, but considering the server errors and memory trouble, making the Watch bigger might not be a good idea.

I'm a comics fan and I would certainly participate in a comics forum, but I can't help but wonder that if there is so much interested now, where are the threads?

I think Avatar stole them to pad the Tanks' stats.....

No Hentai?

I think not.

Erm... well, to be honest; I don't see no reason for it. But that's because I'm not into comics all that much. But I can see a reason why others would want it.

But Dlp's right, there's not been much actual discussion on the matter in the forums.

Very funny dAN.

Anyway Darth, maybe that's because they don't know where to put it? I see the word "comics" appears in 161 threads on the Watch. *shrug*

Anyway, since I argue so vehemently against removing forums from the Watch on the basis of diversity and choice, I suppose I can hardly vote against adding more.

Go ahead if you want it. I'll participate if I can.

I like the idea!

we have had some discussion. and i have tabled some discussion for what i thought would be a new forum. but i have plenty of possible topics. and it wouldn't be just comic books from my understanding. comic strips and comic related tv shows would be up for discussion?

I vote for Null as moderator of the comic forum - if we get one.

The other forum I visit - the official Dr Who one - has at least thirty forums, including a comic one.

I would be interested in a comics forum. I see no problem with it. My only issue is that with the exception of 3 or 4 Marvel titles that I get monthly, I have little to add to a contemporary conversation. But I'll forage in the forum for discussions of silver age topics.

I have no problem with such a forum being made, though I would have little of worth to add to it. But I would like to see some of the internal error problems be taken care of first.

Yikes, that's what Chamberlain said right before Hitler attacked!

There's no "don't care" choice or I'd vote for that. I don't read manga or watch anime, but plenty of people do.

I've been getting quite a few "internal server error" messages while trying to view a new page. Is that due to the size of the board? Or do we not know?

I don't read comics, but I'd join in anime and manga discussion.
