	a forum for CSC? Get a bigger avatar today!

After a post from Cockney a month ago or so asking if CSC is going to have its own forums, I replied absolutely negatively saying that there is no need for a forum.
http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum18/HTML/001173.html?4

However, since then I have slightly changed my mind. Why?, you ask.


To start with, if there would be such a forum, it would need to have a specific "market", and would have something special to offer. This can be accomplished by aiming at three main targets, possibly more.

- discussing which scenarios are to be added, with possible veto from the posters, or only by selected posters appointed for this.

- posting previews of scenarios / unit collections, thereby taking over this from the Scenario League forum where these posts are often ignored.

- noting mistakes in html pages, or saying a scenario needs to be updated to a newer version.

If all this will work out correctly, it will result in a much firmer integration of CSC within Apolyton.


Therefore, what I would like to ask all of you, is not whether or not you would like to have another forum added to the already long and impressive list of Apolyton forums, or if you'd like it just for the sake of being there.
No, instead, the question is this: do you think the addition of a CSC forum would offer something new to the community, or perhaps encourage things that were this far not very frequently discussed? Do you think these 3 points are a reasonable and attainable goal?

Yes or no? Comments please.

Allard, the three points sound good for me, but I´m in doubt that the people are more active in this fields with a new forum.

I also seems to me that some people that create scns post only here in the SLeague forum while others seem to prefer the Civ2 Creation forum, so I´m afraid that one more scenario forum would "split up" the scenario people (may be I´m wrong with this?)...

What do the others say?

Just make one "Civ2 Hosted Sites" forum and recommend prefacing titles with [CSC], [HAC], or [SL] for clarity. These sites target pretty much the same audience and the number of posts is not overwhelming, so my suggestion should work rather well.

Hi guys. Coming from the shades. Good that you found time to update the CSC, Allard. Hopefully one of these days I´ll update the Spanish site as well..

Oh, and St Leo´s proposal reads as a very good one.

Cheers

In general, St. Leo's idea is good, but somehow I fear that it might become a bit confusing.
I'd say leave out the site definition, because nobody -at least I don't- really cares wether it's SLeague, CSC or HAC, since that is -IMHO- the same community. It doesen't really matter wether it's a CSC or an SLeague post - and nobody posts at HAC anyways

Good to see that you're alive, Jesús!

Perhaps [Strategy], [File], [Correction], etc. would be better categories.

Reminds me that we still don't have an official site for Red Front.

	Put an end to popups!

As for the civ2 - creation and HS - Scenario League. civ2-creation is just for the people who did not discover the real place to be yet

But, as I see, there's little animo for such a forum, so I think it's better to forget it.

Xin, why don't you make a RF page yourself? I can't imagine a better person for the job.. Except for Captain Nemo, then.
