If I Built It... Would You Come?
 

Ok- So I realize that this is either gonna be a great idea, or the dumbest one I've had yet:1orglaugh But I'm throwing it out there all the same:winkwink:

I see that GFY has made this board accesable to members only now, and that's a great step froward in keeping the public OUT of private3 industry convos :thumbsup

But to take things a bit further and make it even more difficult for people to get in on the private dealings and ideas of content theft and shit like that, I was thinking of possabally setting up an entire SECRETE VENUE, open by INVITATION ONLY to those who wish to speak privately and openly about these kinds of issues?

I'm not great designer by any means, but I do have access to web forum templates, and I could password protect the entire site, make the entire only viewable for members, have every membership needed to be approved before entrance, and keep the actual location of the website itself secrete, and provide the links to only those requesting and approved entry to the private place.

Setting it up would be the easy part, but running would be hard, so I would need some help with that most definatly :helpme

I would be willing to build, host and help maintain the forum, but I'd need some vetted industry pro's to help with admissions and screening process at the very least.

I'm a total newb, so I don't know who's who around here, and the main focus of implimenting this idea, is to keep people OUT:warning

So if anyone thinks this is a GOOD Idea, please let me know if you

1. would come to the forum?
2. would be intrested in helping me run it?

(like I said this is gonna be either my best or worst idea yet):disgust

is this really a thread about creating a forum? LOL

Yeppers

r u intrested?

interested in watching you get banned, thats about it LOL

why would I get banned?

For trying to set up a safe place for us talk our shit?

I certainly hope not!!!!

That would suck!

Fuck- if this is gonna get me banned, just pull the post and fuck it, the point in this thread was make this better for me and anyone involved, not get my ass kicked out of here!

So yeah, if this 'idea' was violation of GFY- please guys, take it down- k?

Oh? Did they do that? I didn't notice. I think it's a step in the right direction. Still random surfers can sign up claiming to be webmasters.

I am a member of a very good forum that is approval only, and the business handled there is always top notch. I love it there.

Good luck :thumbsup

Don't you mean ...

If you build it, they will cum.

This sub-forum is nearly dead as it is, make it more difficult to access it and you'll hardly see any activity at all.

And it's not because people are afraid to speak openly, it's just because they're lazy and mostly mind there own business.

this is a real ORIGINAL IDEA, never heard of a webmaster forum that was invite only and you had to have a username/passwordd to log in..NOT:1orglaugh

ohh.. LOL
