"What do Captain America, Terry and the Pirates, or Dan Clowes have to do with barbelith as a concept?"
Ouch.
I think this is a very interesting discussion, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that Tom suggested we might get a new forum, not will get a new forum. Just because we can doesn't mean that we should.
I'm a long-time gamer, and this will destroy my standing in the Geek Clique, but I don't think we really need a new forum for gaming discussion. Games are like theatre. If you weren't there, discussion is almost impossible. Not that general theory wouldn't be possible, but are there really enough people willing to dig that deep on the board to sustain a whole new forum?
I can understand where the pro-gamers are coming from. I post in the comics forum here on Barbelith because even though there are other boards that discuss a more diverse range of comics and have people who know the history or current news better than what can be found here, I find that the discussions run much deeper on Barbelith. Having compared the few gaming forums I've visited to the few, random threads on the subject here at Barbelith, I can share the pro-gamers desire to see a gaming forum started.
If I had to cast a vote, I'd say a Research forum would be very helpful, followed by a Body forum (which might include sex). |
