Board Thread:Wiki news and announcements/@comment-1585211-20131111035024

This is an idea I've had. It's been discussed with Nerfmaster8, Magstrike, and NSA335. For anyone who wasn't involved in the idea, I apologize, it was merely something that happened at the time.

This is what I'll call "Forum Nexus". We've had many problems with these forums with angry users, cuss words being thrown around, users getting banned, and many, many fights. The forums are also on Nerfipedia, where they are arguably worse when it comes to provoking and cussing. While the forums are active, they consume more edits on our website than they should on our website; more edits on this website come from forums than actual pages. This is the solution for all of that.

We could have a new forum such as one similar to Nerf Revolution or NerfHaven. A joint effort, between Nerf Wiki, Nerfipedia, and Dart Blaster Encyclopedia. Due to recent events, a mutual agreement has been made between admins on the three already mentioned wikis not to have Nerf Exclusive Wiki be a part of this effort. This forum would be hosted on a free site such as ProPhPBB. This forum would be used as a replacement for these forums on all three wikis; no longer would these forums be active. The new hosted forum would have sections for all three wikis, in which all that is featured now or likely to be featured could be incorporated. Other ideas such as a trading area could be discussed.

I apologize in advance to JetCell for no prior discussion, however this was something that was developed immediately at the time of discussion. As I'm not going to be active again until Thursday, I needed this out as soon as possible. We need comments from all three wikis in order for this to even be suggested. This will not be incorporated unless a large support is given. Please, I encourage you, despite how long you have been in the community for, or how many edits you have, to voice your opinions, as it will help us all in the long run to get your feedback, concerns or wishes. Thank you very much for your time.
