So like I've said, I've thought about doing a new site/forum focused on entertainment or something more general than just Nintendo or video games. But I wanted to see if people were interested in that first and what they'd want it to be like. So far my ideas are...

*Make a forum first, then a site/blog where members can post stuff (probably use Tumblr for that so people don't have to post just long thought out articles, but can post funny images or links or whatever
*The forum wouldn't be uptight like what Joey did to SMF, but it wouldn't be out of control like MPF got. There'd be rules  but they'd be lenient. Porn images wouldn't be allowed =P
*It'd be legit, with a paid host & real domain. If we used Tumblr for the actual site, I'd be willing to get that a real domain as well (so not whatever.tumblr.com) & buy a nicer theme (sometimes the free ones don't cut it).
*It would be affiliated with other sites or promoted on Twitter & what not enough so that we get a good group of members outside of the MPF/NC/SMF crowd.
*It could be kept affiliated to MPL/NC (if people wanted) through contests and such though
*It would have a good name. Manly Party Forum was funny at first but it was a dumb name that stopped us from getting members (nobody wanted to tell their friends to join Manly Party Forum & the people who did, their friends didn't want to join)

So yeah....ideas? opinions? I posted this same thing on NC so I could get opinions over there too. And before anyone is all "why do we need a new site? this site is fine!" I'm not trying to make one to replace MPL like MPF did to SMF. I'm just trying to fill a gap that this forum leaves (not a lot of good discussion outside of Nintendo/Mario Party).

This is all talk until it's actually made and talk is too boring/confusing for me. :p

I get that, but I'm not gonna put money into a domain & host & all that if nobody is gonna be interested.

I'm really bad a shouting ideas, but the only thing I have in mind is: No Forum Games... :p

I would join.

I don't like forum games either but if its something the forum wanted eventually & voted on having or whatever, then I wouldn't put my foot down or whatever. I'd want this hypothetical to be similar to MPF in that its kind of majority rule for things like that. But I definitely wouldn't want it to become a main part of the forum.
 
Don't let TT have unlimited power.

But if it's another Nintendo forum then stop your thoughts altogether. Most people in our network have drifted away from being Nintendo-pro.

A general gaming forum/media forum would be nice, you suggested that on MPF.

SEE I CAN COPYPASTA TOO.

Definitely not Nintendo or even just video games. I'm not into either enough anymore to dedicate that amount of energy into a forum. It'd be something pretty general, whether its completely general or with a slight focus, like entertainment or whatever.

My ideas for the site would be to make it have legit content but also fun stuff as well. And since it would be general, everyone could get involved almost.

As for TT, he would not be in charge at all =P Although I have my issues with him from time to time though, he's a good member usually so if he wanted to join & contribute I'd have no issue with that, just like anyone else.

It'd be cool to do a lot of stuff like streaming & competitions & whatnot too. I've also really been wanting to organize some kind of little podcast as well, so that'd be a goal at some point.
 
Fuse actually would make sense since it's a "fusion" of different topics, but I was wrong and fuse.com is already taken (which is annoying because its owned by some ISP & it just redirects to a different domain) but fuseforums.com isn't. So Fuse is on my list of possibilities right now, but I'd still like to keep brainstorming.

Also looked into cost and it would only be about $35/yr (almost double if I wanted to get emails associated with it). So I could definitely afford that, no problem.
