More than just a forum

[PurpleCrow]

What do you do/plan to do to make your forum more than just a forum? If you plan on doing more at all??

I've got a few projects going on at my forum at the moment -

- Courses (a Wicca 101 Course that last for one year so far, run by a Wiccan High Priestess. Planning on more courses)

- Featured Stores (A thread gets dedicated to an online store, and a banner to our forum gets placed on their website)

- Authors Circle (Pagan authors have their own subforum, where they can write about their books, people can ask questions etc, still a work in progress at the moment, a few authors have agreed to get involved so far)

- Moots (Real Life meetings, I plan on doing the first for our one year anniversary, with guest speakers and a band hopefully)

- Articles/Blog (A blog full of member submitted articles, which will become a proper knowledge base for Pagans)

Thats all the projects we have on the go at the moment, although I am sure I will end up doing even more :lol:

 

[ChatBox]

I've added a homepage to mine.

UniverseWars in itself is a forum-based text game.

 

[Black Angel]

I have an arcade, shop, skin gallery, shoutbox, portal, custom bbcodes, downloads (coming soon) and bio pages for the staff.

There are a lot of features that I have disabled for now such as, IRC chat, Lottery, Army Mod, Reputation, etc.. as there is no use for them and a lot of features on their way, when the host owner adds them.

I have an arcade too, with a chat as another feature.

Disabled: Shop, twp rep systems LOL(Flame wars D:<), a monetary system that was abandoned for a new monetary system long ago, and some other stuff.

We also have a gallery, chat room and a calender (thats actually used) and a links directory 🙂

Not sure if it counts, but some of our topics are RPs and stories where the members contribute. They're not really discussions, but they are topics/posts.

Other than that, no. I did have a friend that took a meme of ours and made it into a Game Maker game, though.

ChatBox is that forum even yours?
Erm, I do have plan's to add a blog and probably a contact page, nothing big but I do hope for many plan's in the future of my site.

 

[DarkRaven]

I've got a blog for articles and I intend to also do podcasts with a few of the staff.

 

[fantanoice]

Actually, I've been thinking about doing Podcasts as well. 😵

 

[DarkRaven]

The problem that I'm experiencing with podcasts is the timezone difference. I'm in Ireland, and most of my staff are in the US...

 

[fantanoice]

Yes, that would be a problem. 🙁

 

[Watch Me Sink]

Forum integrated with a CMS.

 

[Nuke]

All of my staff would be too poor for making podcasts I think for some reason lol.

And now that I've actually read the first post...

If some sort of moot happened at UW I'd lol.
