Romance/Love Forum/Sub-Forum

[Kanata]

[color=#003300][SIZE=1]Since I joined I have been searching around various threads, old and new, seeing what type of threads other people have made and I was surprised that there was no Romance/Love forum/sub-forum. I think it would be a great idea because of all the people that post asking for advice and asking about stuff like "What Girls like In Guys" (and vice versa). Other stuff like "Whats the perfect gift.." and "Favourite Anime Couple" could go in it aswell.

What do you think?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

I don't think there's quite enough threads popping up for Romance to get its own forum. For now, I think the Otaku Lounge is a good place for it all. Who's to say that other 'emotions' don't get their own forum?

And if a Romance forum were to be created, it should be an Advice forum... something that has a wider range.

[color=#003300][SIZE=1]Now there's an even better idea, to get more posts in the forum. Have an advice forum, where people could ask for advice about lots of things. Im sure it would do good.

On the other hand (I'm sort of playing both sides here ><') it would probably, very easily, get spammy. One thing I noticed was that most of the Romance threads were posted by 'Noobs' that didn't [i]really[/i] know what they were doing. So it [i]is[/i] possible that more of those kind of posts could appear. But I'm sure the regular OBers could put it to good use.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=-3]Well sometimes, some people here ask for way too much of some people. I mean, some try to help but people get all emotional and edgy about some criticism. While an 'Advice' thread would be interesting to see, I can't see it having enough threads or interest to stay active. Let alone, under control. There's a difference between asking for advice and asking someone else to make a life-decision for you. If it falls under the latter, then this is not the place to ask that. I don't think anywhere is. But uh, 'Advice' forum...gotta admit that's a new, refreshing idea. :D

[B]Edit[/B]: Though, I don't know...alot of teenagers seem to frequent the OB. So all those distraught teens going to those aching years might have something to say! I can see threads from rants to shrines of their love interests. lol[/SIZE]

w00t b33r! I contributed a good idea!

Anyway, I'm almost positive the mods wouldn't add in an Advice forum. If it were to be added, it would be a sub-forum, but what would it be under? The Otaku Lounge?

And yes, it would get spammy -- really, really fast. I think that it might need to be one of those forums, where they elect a new moderator who's always online. That way, they can crack down on all the spam flying around in there. I would hate for someone with low post quality to hurt that kind of serious sub-forum. And people would need to be tolerant of other people's feelings too, since advice can be a touchy thing.

On the other paw, why do it? If it requires all these new rules and a new moderator, things could get too complicated.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of w00t b33r,

[COLOR=#B33D79][SIZE=1]Indeed.
Otaku Lounge's roomy enough to accomodate them advice threads. Then again, the number of advice threads may increase if they set aside a corner for it here in OB. A lot of people here just [i]love[/i] to give advice; it will get popular.

So yeah, extra work for our beloved mods.

Love and Peace![/SIZE][/COLOR]

[size=1]There have been maybe ten of those threads in the last... few months. Not enough marketale opportunity for a sub-forum.

And, to make a point, those ten relationship advice threads were [b]10 too many[/b]. Besides, it's not like teenagers should be giving love advice. Not in much of a position.[/size]
