Columns Forum? [Archive]

UPDATE: http://www.tpww.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22

What do you guys think?

A forum where you guys could basically post your own columns at your own free will.

We could set up a moderation system where each thread posted would have to be validated first to make sure it isn't shitty spam and it is at least a decent column or whatever.

Then I could link from it from the main TPWW page and basically use the forum as our columns section.

THOUGHTS?

Absoloutely Grade A idea there.

We good also use the thread rating system to rate each other's columns. As long as everyone used the system properly and voted on a fair basis.

yeah just like how we have a thread rating system here

Yeah...though maybe I don't quite understand the benefit of having an entire section of the forum devoted to it when you could just post it in the wrestling section...

10-06-2005, 07:14 PM

isn't there a hack where whatever you post on a certain forum can have the thread name viewable on the main tpww.net site?

and then have beside it Comments (5) or whatever, and that link takes you to the thread?

I've got that on my invision board, we used to have it on a vB i co-own so i'm sure it's available.

If that's what ur planning it would be pretty cool

You don't understand because you are relatively stupid.

Cool, I'd give it a try. I just don't want those kids with their bad spelling and lack of periods on there. That crap is annoying and in paragraph form, even more.

I say go for it.
I'm sure every wrestling fan has thought "Hey, maybe I could do my own column. It's a good idea, and it'll help get my viewpoints across."

My main concern is the people that think "hey may-b i coud get my own colum its a god idea 'n itll help get my view points akross."

When people see the later of the two just ignore their posts.

Perhaps you could pick out some really good ones and have them do columns for the mainsite on a day to day basis.

RemyRed

10-06-2005, 09:32 PM

There wouldn't be any horriblle posts because all of the posts in that forum would be queued till a mod goes over it manually and posts it.

Between LC and myself, we are pretty active in the wrestling forum. Assuming 10-20 threads daily at first, then 5-to 10 after the novelty wears off, I think the 2 of us could easily handle it. It would be even easier if the admins step in as well. I don't see the preoblem. You (collectively) write the columns, we keep the tards out. Simple.

I say go for it.

I agree with Funky, I should be a mod in this new forum :y:

Dave Youell

10-07-2005, 02:56 AM

But if i'm honest, I see no actual point of a new forum, how many columns are posts right now? It's not that many is it?

THINK. USE YOUR BRAIN TO THINK.

I've got an idea for what columns i would do,just not that good at titles for them.

I like it. "All in favor, say die!"

I am basically just waiting for splaya's response right now. Once he shows his support, I can go through with it.

Triple A

10-07-2005, 05:34 PM

Wait he already gave his support. OK I will do it later.

YOUR Hero

10-07-2005, 10:13 PM

Funny thing is I've told people here many a time to post columns. When Triple A was looking for new columnists and when people weren't picked, I said; "Just post your own column like topic. No one ever did.

I wish this venture well. I just hope there's enough interest.

I'll do my part in modding things.

In fact I'll start right now...

If any of you don't use proper grammar and spell check, don't bother. For the rest of you, this is a great opportunity to develop your writing skills. Take this opportunity.

Yeah gonna do this now I guess.

Dunno if it'll work. KINDA SKEPTICAL, but we shall see.

Joey Slugs

02-22-2006, 03:29 AM

Anyway to set up an RSS feed from here to the main page so we'll have actual headlines?

Triple A

02-22-2006, 03:40 AM

Yeah I gotta figure out how to do that.

Hey, do you want me and Loose Cannon to look after that shit too?

Splaya

02-22-2006, 11:07 PM

I vote Splaya for mod of the columns forum. I mean face it, it's going to just be noobs posting in there and couple of reg's from wrestling. I would do an awesome job

Triple A, I would like to become a mod in the c-fed and wrestling forums. I think that I have a great track record of being right on top of trolls.

That is why you will never be mod.

Although the 8 bit STFU was glorious.

I thought it was because I am only 16 and therefore have a liscence to be an obnoxious prick on the internet. That is what Triple H tells me anyway.
