New Forum Idea: Bone Closet

Squeeky · 2004-09-21, 03:16 AM

Lately, i've seen a huge influx of BC Matierial. Plenty of other forums i visit have "Bone Closets" which are forums to discuss the following issues, including, but not limited to:

* Relationships

* Health matters

* Social interaction issues

* Sex

* Weight Loss

* Bodybuilding

The forum is intended to be a mature discussion of very sensitive issues and ideas and as such, a measure of decorum is expected. I want to stress the fact that this is not The Lounge and more stringent expectations apply.

Rules:

Insensitive remarks or replies will not be tolerated.

Spamming threads with single smileys is unacceptable.

Spamming threads with nonsese or the like is not going to be tolerated.

All sparring and issues should be taken OUT of the Bone Closet, please refrain from derailing threads in order to vent your own off topic ideas.

Threads will be locked and moved at the sole discression of the BCM (Bone Closet Moderator)

If you have nothing worthwhile to contribute, please don't.

This forum is intended to open a door for everyone to honestly convey thoughts, feelings, questions and concerns.

Even though this is a mature forum, please stay within the realm of the rules. Any threads branching outside the spectrum of the Bone Closet (including work-related threads) will be moved.

Please keep all of these things in mind as you read and reply to threads. Everyone has a right to post in this forum, and unless you want that right stripped from you, I strongly suggest you respect the right of others first.

Those would be my rules (slightly modified from another BC).

The BC i visit is very succesful. The BC is heavily moderated, but with the right person(s) doing a job i think the forum could be very succesful. Also, as an alternative to creating an enitrely new forum, i think it'd be better if the BC was a sub-forum to the lounge. What do you guys think?

If this idea does take off, and the big-wig's think it's a good idea, i'd be willing to moderate along-side a female moderator. That's usually how BC's work. So you can have a male moderator and a female moderator. (Triggar would pwn at this)

If you have any questions, please ask.

Might as well say SDM will not be tolerated.

I'm sick of being held down by the MAN!!111

What about topics for puberty and such? There are a lot of teens here.

Of course. Those questions are always welcomed.

I say keep it out of the forums. When ever I have problems such as these I turn to my friends. Not forum posters. It just doesn't seem right. *shrugs*

And alot really seems to be guys just bragging about being around girls really. Just as long as they don't think they are rubbing anything in my face. I've had my fair share of action too.

1. The whole purpose of the forum is so you can ask a bunch of people at once, instead of pulling aside different friends. Besides, it spawns some great discussions.

2. If anyone uses a forum to brag about being around girls, i really pity them

I thought we were your friends

Notice how I was so subtly referring to Duck's penis thread.

Oh I'm so smart.

Hezzy · 2004-09-21, 09:36 AM

Good idea.

But call it something else. Try to keep away from the [M] names

Genmay sux.

i think it's a good idea mostly because it seems like the lounge isn't always the place to post stuff like that.

btw, I Hate Pants, i post stuff like that here because there's a lot of minds on this site that may be able to think more logically than i at certain times. i usually cunsult my friends on matters like those, but it doesn't help to have the advice of people on the forums. plus, regardless of whether i've met any of you or not, i still feel pretty close to a lot of you because we've had close discussions like the ones that regard relationships and loss of friends/family and things of that nature.

Have you guys ever heard of Answerology? I imagine this idea of a new forum to be a bit like that. You submit a question, and it gets sent to other members, and answered by the kind of people you asked it to be answered by (i.e. a woman asking a "jock", a "businessman", a "father", etc).

I think the forums would be a good idea, but how can you prevent someone from getting flamed in the lounge for something they said in the Bone Closet? I imagine Dharkie would abuse that constantly

This would be cool.
