A new usergroup.

A Purpose:

I need 9 volunteers and a name so that I can create a usergroup via eticket. If you volunteer, recommend at least one other player and a name.

I thought you were announcing your engagement in this thread.

Anyway, I don't understand this at all, but I'll volunteer if it's helpful.

For a name I suggest ...

Up to 4 definite, 2 maybes. That was way quicker than I thought.

I'd join, but I'm very picky.

I wouldn't join any club, that would have me as a member.

Why a user group? If you're trying to revive off topics and general discussion why not post in............. off topics and general discussion?

Because OT is moderated in a totally not fun way.

Maybe we should literally just create a sub group called Off Topics and make it private but open to anyone who feels like joining.

It is?

So please, enlighten us. What is a "fun way" of moderation?

And fun for whom? Because if you are talking about fun for the moderators then I have a plethora of suggestions. :twisted:

I propose an amendment to OP, in that this new usergroup operates under the same rules as /b/ (the only rule being nothing illegal), and is open to any and all who wish to join.

Not a bad idea. I was hoping for it to be a bit less high school cliquey than PL, so that might work. You still towing the party line over there?
