Pangaea is a brand new forum created as hub for general learning, creativity, debate, live chat, games & much much more. My aim is to create a place for people to pull all their interests and web activities into one site and share amongst other self interested people, in addition Pangaea will also have specialised sections, and dedicated forums for creativity.

Here are some of Pangaea's features at the moment​

General Forum
Every forum has one of theses, you know the drill.

Mini Forums
These are the list of specialised forums, whereby people can debate specific topics, post media.. etc

Homegrown Talent Forums
These are the forums dedicated for creativity, people can create profiles and showcase their work & get help.

Chat Room & Chat Room Forum
Pangaea has had an established IRC chartroom for a number of years, I have built in a chat client into the forum itself, and will use the chat room not only for regular chat but to organise certain live events related to the forum.

Flash Games Forum
A forum with flash games, people can vote and give their reviews or rants under each game, in addition, members can also request flash games.

Thats a very basic breakdown of the areas. But please feel free to visit (while you can) to explore around a little.

Pangaea is a Brand New forum, because of this I am still very much in the development process, and plan to implement new features as I learn and progress with it. I am new to Forums myself, and I am realising early on that a forum can be a powerful tool, even to the regular forum member. I plan to make easy tutorials on forum features and update them as the forum develops. If people are smart with page layout and familiar with forum features they can literally create their own mini website on a forum by clever linking to other locations on a forum or externally, this general idea Is something I want to highlight to new members.

Some ideas I am currently working on are, themed quiz nights for each section in the "mini forums" (please see the quiz nights topic), Homegrown talent member profiles, Homegrown member project diaries section & tutorials, Homegrown contests and awards, Forum integration with Facebook, MSN, and other social networking trends, and so much more I simply cant begin to explain.

Since Pangaea is at an early stage I am also looking for people to help out, perhaps even moderate, or help with the administration, either board wide or for specific areas within the forum, so please feel free to ask me "Pangaea" if your interested in being a part of the development of this new venture.

So, spare Forum Pangaea a few miunits of your time, check it out, become a member, explore, create, learn, chat.. make the forum what you want it to be.

Hi folks, and thanks for the replies.
I was up all night thinking of ways to get my forum started, but the more I research into it the more I relies this is most likely a complete waste of time and hard work. There are so many people with other, better and more established forums then mine on this site and sites like this, that are getting little or no exposure or response at all.

I think perhaps its time for me to face reality and admit Ive come late to the world of forums. I guess everyone is too busy with the latest trends, like social networking sites and instant messengers. It sure dosent look like anyone is interested at all in forums theses days, or at least new forums. I suspect for every new forum theses days no matter what the genre, there will always be a bigger, better and longer established one already, so what's the point 🙂

anyway sorry to bring a little negativity to the party, but that's how the way things are unfortunately.

better to be a realist then a delusionist. 😉

anyway ill give it another week or two, if as I suspect its going nowhere, ill close up shop or give it to someone else who wants to take up the struggle.

que sera, sera .. and..
Best regards
Pan 🙂

One of the coolest forums I have seen. I wish it had some activity.

its tough going alright, but at the same time, I guess its got to start somewhere .... u say "wish" well, your wish is your command, so why not sign up and be a part of the first batch of people, who knows perhaps it years to come the forum will be very popular and you can say you where there from its raw beginnings 😉

have you got a forum yourself i can check out?

regards, and thanks for looking

I do belive this is well over due a bump 🙂
Got 4 or 5 new members since I posted here
upto 19 members now 🙂
whos gonna be the lucky 20th
 
Oh, thought Ide give this another bump since its been so long 🙂
 
thanks folks.. great feedback 🙂

I made this a while ago now, but it didnt turn out to be too popular (as you can clearly see) ... so i took it offline for a number of months I forgot about it, then remember it, and put it back online a few days ago again. Perhaps it`ll pick up some new members again. To be honest this was my first time messing about with phpbb and I had so much fun making it, glad to get the experience, so Im content with that, if folks want to use it, well then thats just a bonus.

thanks again for great feedback

regards
