So I just had this idea for a forum that would be new.

You know how we have alot of admins here? Well why not make a news site for people here?

A news example could be something like this -

Breakings news folks,we have just got word that NBK*Twitch owner of Admin Central Forums has won the lottery!! What does this mean for ACF? What is twitch thinking about doing with the money? Will he buy TAZ and just give up on ACF? We will have more on this story as it progress's.

I think it would be an awesome idea myself. So if you think you can make this idea happen run with it 😀.

I can't make this as I have to much on my plate right now. However if you think you could have me as a co admin thats cool.

The software I suggest for this idea would be wordpress and mybb or ipb.

Why this could make it big? Well I know having a news site about forum news advertised here would be sure to bring in many people.

I also know that I have never seen another forum news site.

You could also "hire" people to get news for you.

You could also kind of do a gleenbeck/foxnews like youtube channel.

Oh and if it really takes off I could see it also being a webmaster resource forum.
 
Hmm, maybe it could work as a blog, but I can't see it working as a forum. :/ I don't think you can really create 'discussions' from that basis alone.

The forum would be basically a community forum for all the people who read the blog.
 
I heard someone did something like this a while back, but it never really worked out.

I thought I did too,but I still think it could be done. It just needs the right admin for the job.
 
How do you plan on keeping track off so many admins? Or is it for certain admins only?

Well if it were me doing it. It would not need to kept track of. As forumpromotion as so many you can gain stories straight from FP and/or TAZ.
 
You could also make a simple web design of a website, and just grab RSS feeds of some of the top stories on websites such as FP/TAZ etc.. and load it through an XML/php file and it could show up instead of "having" to post everything.
 
Sounds interesting, but it kind of sounds like "Forum Achievement" section on advertising forums I been on where admins post topics of their latest news, and achievementson their forum.

I think it will probably require a lot of man power and time to keep up with the news about forums since there are so many big forums on the internet.
 
It could work but you would need a lot of serious man power to get an idea like this running.
