And yet again, I have to ask - why? Is there anything on offer there you can't get here or a thousand other places 100 times better? No.
Colour scheme sucks too.

But you won't get the diversity of talent or opinion. |

The other problem is that the user doesn't care enough about the forum to get his own server space. As such, the forum doesn't belong to him and the forum's real owner can delete it whenever they wish, should they choose to do so. You also get the problem of ads you may not want on a forum appearing because you have no control.
Particular amusement. |

Well its a forum that's growing as all things do, maybe this has more to offer but its a place that's more for fiction and it hasn't been up to long. And different people there, maybe they can help in ways people here can't and are nice. If nothing else check it out before you say its horrible etc. If the color schemes are horrible why not put it in suggestions there that you didn't like them, if nothing else.

I'll think you'll find we've already "checked it out" and that's how we know it's colour scheme is horrible. I don't see why we should join it just to say it sucks. People not joining is a sure enough sign. |

What exactly did you expect, Laststand - that we'd all stampede over there and leave Maia on her own? The knowledge base here is outstanding. You have nothing to offer that isn't already being done 100 times better not just here, but on a couple of hundred other boards.

I should hope so. This guy's just trying to advertise a small forum. Give him a break.

ty,
I'm not trying to make anyone leave this fourm or do anything they do not want to, just saying have some free time why not check it out. A friend of mine made the fourm and thought would put the link up, if you don't like it fine, just knew its small and thought some of the people here might like to go check out a growing writting forum. If not then thats okay with me...

Wow, you guys are harsh. I understand that writingforums is obviously better, but come on. Even writingforums started out small.
If you don't like it don't join, simple as that.
