Well let's turn this site into a limited liability corp. Then we can have our history forum.

"Well let's turn this site into a limited liability corp."

Good idea. At the very least I would learn what a 'limited liability corp' is.

Lets do it!

I'll have to visit those history forums. I'm one of the guilty hijack-types. The thing is, if you try to seperate history from current events...

See, doing it again.

Go history forum.

Would this be more effective in Apolyton Community?

Either way, this is a great idea.

This is a great idea, in theory, unfortunately, there are many posters who have very interesting ideas of "history". The forum would probably quickly degenerate into spam wars and flame fests. We already have the OT for that.

Good idea . Just have it heavily modded which would keep the spammers out. It'll be nicely educational and good for the scenario makers. I'm all for it.

One of the problems with a History forum is that then you have people asking for a Sports forum and a Politics forum and a Jokes forum and a Cars forum and blah blah blah and each one of them has the same reason, "Well, you have a History forum too, why not a Manatee Forum?"

It should be a 30 day trial forum, and if it does not dazzle dan and markG with intelligence, prodigiousness, and quality, it can be cancelled. Up with history.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Apolyton is to CFC or FFZ what Civ 1 is to CtP II or MoO III - less features, simpler, but streamlined and inspired


That said, can someone link the louded History Forum at FFZ?

This is more of something for the Apolyton/Community forum.

I think this would be good for the site though. For one, history is sort of related to what Civ is about. Also, it might help keep more people visiting the site more often(and thus getting the site more ad $). So long as posts were made to not count on that forum to avoid spam, it'd be good.
