Approved Clubs and Clans Forum

[Smacktard]

I'm posting a thread on craft beers, and I was thinking it might be nice to bring back C&C for more niche interests that don't deserve their own forums, but could probably sustain some regular topic-related posting.

 

[Crystal]

I'll leave this for @Mark and @Cole to chime in, as well, but I actually think it'd be a good fit to bring back!

So long as we don't need to get back into a routine of splitting threads...

How many former C&C mods do we have here?

 

[Benzine]

I like the idea, it's kinda a good catch-all for specific topics that people might want to continually discuss, while being reminiscent of a fun aspect of the original forum. It's fun being a bit silly like that again while on the internet, when it's so different to how it used to be for us (I think).

You and I as far as I know, and I will not fight you one bit over dibs to mod the new one.

I will throw my support on the idea of this new iteration though. It modernizes that element of the old forums, and that’s definitely the kind of thinking we need to have to keep things going.

@Cole and I modded it as a team as well.

That was after my time, but it doesn’t surprise me. You were a permanent fixture there for quality control and auditing purposes.

 

[Cole]

as long as I never have to be involved with off ever again, you go nuts.

I'm hated enough now from wolf, I don't need C&C

 

[Crystal]

*goes nuts*

 

[Crystal]

Ok, we have a Clubs and Clans forum, let's see how this goes!

No one hates you for wolf, and if they do they're being silly

I'll show you my DMs sometime.

 

[Tubby23]

I'll show you my DMs sometime.

That's truly saddening if so.

 

[shortkut]

Everyone already knows who was Mafia in game one. You don’t need to show what I told you

 

[Benzine]

I think it should be a rule that you have to make your first post in the same way they all used to be made back then too haha.

Damn, that'd be a callback. Definitely!!

Could also save up and get the social groups add-on to make it feel like various clubs and clans, too... https://xenforo.com/community/resources/social-groups-xenforo-2-x-x.6389/

Explain this to someone who was very late to the party and wasn't in Clubs and Clans

It would differ from club to club. A club about role play as adventurers would have a very flowery, lengthy, intro to what their clan is, description of things that might be relevant, member lists... Member positions for some? Really, a lot of variance between them, but just imagine some of the cringey shit that bored teens would do.

@The Eye in the Sky! had a fan club for example.

I remember the Eye one, not sure if I was in it or not (obviously I was in spirit - Go Tom!)

...so a friend has offered access to this particular add-on, would this better suit our needs for the Clubs and Clans approach, or stick with the forum?

I think the add-on would be more suitable, it would add a bit more detail than just a thread.

 

[Crystal]

That's what I'm thinking, too. Ok, we'll install it and see if we can make it work

Actually… depending on the features it has, it could work well to compliment the forum.

Edit - Oh yeah, we can definitely do some cool stuff with the add-on. Just skimming through the features is giving me ideas.

I've just set it up, let's see what we can do with it!

 

[Mark]

Hey, it could have implications for an Aussie meta game if you wanna be a guinea pig… depending on what kind of “rank” and “permission” options there are, we could configure an Aussie group where you “lead” it and move people around roles with different restrictions within the group.

Awesome. As usual, I’ll stare at it for a minute before I start smashing buttons.

 

[Crystal]

Mark gonna' do Mark things!

 

[A Maybe Baker]

I'll take on ownership of C&C because it only seems right...just like Current Events, I basically modded it forever.

 

[Mark]

We’ll see, I’ve gotta spend some time checking out the add-on like I did with the pool first. I won’t get too ahead of myself.

I put you on it. Godspeed, sir. Godspeed.

 

[Mark]

Awww shit.



We could allow groups to create their own “forum” within C&C that would index in the groups tab from the looks of things.

 

[Crystal]

Yep, 100% can do that!

 

[Tubby23]

I'm sure it's intended as its an add-on but it would be cool if posts made in the Group sub-forums could show up in "What's new" post list.

That should be possible!

Next suggestion: make a car appreciators club whose members accidentally have access to the mod forum

Everyone has mod forum access, but the car appreciation club can absolutely be made -- https://gwforums.com/groups
