Template:Forumheader Hey guys. I was wondering what you guys thought of going ahead with the idea of creating a forum for our wiki. By 'forum', I mean an actual message board similar to the old forum but hosted on the new server. As I see it, creating a forum has several unique benefits:
- It allows us to discuss wiki issues and proposals in depth.
- Polls can easily be added to topics, allowing for quick and secure voting.
- Private messages can be used, something impossible on a wiki.
- It allows us to discuss both the Simpsons series as well as off-topic subjects in a casual environment.
- Wiki staff members can have access to private forums for discussing high-level issues as well as potential staff candidates.
- Issues with the server can be reported to me and kept track of much easier than just through my talk page.
The only disadvantage I can think of would be that it's impossible to link forum accounts with accounts on the wiki, but I don't really think that's a very serious issue. It would also allow us to remove the broken Special:WikiForum extension. Anyway, let me know what you think! :) --Jake 13:32, 30 August 2011 (EDT)
