Who wants his own board?

[George Spellwin]

Bros,

We are going to beta test giving Platinum Members their own board. Should there be any rules to this? What are your thoughts?

Also, if you want to be one of the first to have your own board, post the subject here and we will make it happen for you. Again, we're going to go slowly at first to see how this is going to work.

i'm not saying that i want my "own" board or anything but i dont think it would be a bad idea for a strongman board here. i would contribute as much as i could and i know there have been alot more people getting into the sport lately. that way we wouldnt have to fish through the training board for strongman related posts. i dunno. just an idea.

I'll try one if you need a guniea pig.
I don't really have a whole lot to bring to the table, but it doesn't seem like you're getting too many takers as of yet.

What will prolly happen is alot of the guys will see that I have one and then want one of their own. It's one thing if Nelson has one, but I'm a relative nobody around here. Everyone will wonder what the hell is going on.

Anyway, how many Plats do you have?
That's alot of baords on the front page, no? The board page is getting bigger and bigger as it is. Don't you think that would be alot of useless discussion areas for people to sift through? Maybe you can put them under one general "Plat Member Board Section"?

who would control the content? who would be responsible if things went bad on a members board? they will need to be monitered closely imo.

Wouldn't the owner be the moderator?
I'm sure you're not talking about the same level of content like the Anabolic or C&C boards.
Nelson is the mod on his board, isn't he? Couldn't he just ban Fonz and be done with some of the drama? Lock that thread and move on?

Doesn't seem like it would be the same problem...

I'd like to have my own board. If I can be the admin and choose my mods and only have knowledeable veterans to post answers to difficult questions. This way a question posted would stay on the board's first page for a couple days so it could get full consideration and input by veterans who might want to contribute information. Because the traffic would be slow this would happen on all the posts.
Yeah I want a board just like that.

I think it is a great idea: You could have themed boards:

1. Strongman (as already mentioned)
2. NFL
3. Pro Wrestling
4. Time management (for working out around a busy schedule)
5. Alternative medicine
6. Dealing with specific ailments (cancer, GERD, etc, etc)
7. More bodybuilding stuff


Each plat would be the mod and if it got out of control, then the board would go bu-bye…Some of the topics above seem blah but the trick is to have boards that appeal to everyone (to bring in more members)..And even if there isn’t that many posts on a plat member’s board, at least people will still be able to see the info that has been posted about the subject (good for the archives) and the mods (the plats themselves) will not have to be on 24 hours a day to monitor.

We could really use a philosophy and mind-body connection board

Count me in for either a pro wrestling or NFL board...
