Just an idea here... probably not worth a damn, but I figure, what the heck, right?
Any thoughts on perhaps having like an "EVENT" thread... like a certain topic that receives prevalence for a few days where all the contributors to the forum share their thoughts. Discussing events in the industry in a roundtable-esque manner? Where at the end of the week/few days, it becomes archived, and re-written in a script... and perhaps, sent to other comicbook sites as some sort of an editorial/op-ed piece... with a link back to this board.
I know Starbrand and I used to write column for comicnews.info... maybe they would be interested in the feature.
Anyhoo... Just an idea... maybe we can make something of it. It sounds kinda like work, but who knows? I remember doing something similar at LandMark Comics old Yahoo! site... and it was a lot of fun, and we were actually able to build our audience to a pretty decent amount.

I like the idea ace and I appreciate your creativity and desire to get something rolling here! My board needs a whole lot more of that! I would be willing to join in on these discussions, I would just hope a few others would join in too. Its not a round table with 2 people. But if we could get 2 or 3 others and maybe even some stragglers coming, heck its worth a shot! As far as sending out and stuff, I have no idea on that. I'll tell you what, if you want to get the ball rolling, I will create a new thread area specifically for that and then if you agree, you can be the moderator of that area and make topics and be in charge of how that operation works. Let me know and I'll get started creating it and then you can do your magic!  |

I'd be down to give it a shot... you may have to bear with me tho... I've recently become an uncle, and will be babysitting quite a bit for the foreseeable future... along with hunting for work.
I'll definitely put my best foot forward, and do whatever I can to get the roundtable... well, round, hehe.
Another idea I had, was about podcasting. Though, it does seem a bit extreme just to promote a forum... may be a fun thing to do tho.

I'll get to work on creating a thread area for you. No need to worry about keeping an ever watchful eye on it. All you really need to do is start a thread, determine an end time and create a new thread when necessary. Your additional comments can come when you see fit.
As far as a podcast, I have no idea about them. Im always thinking that means an audio clip of many minutes. I don't think I have the voice or the inflection to do something like that. Nor any subject I can talk about that I can think of for any long length of time. If I ever did have a podcast (maybe a long ways down the road), I would want it to be a part of the comiccrack.com website. It could be cool. But it seems the sites I know that do have them, I don't listen to theirs. Personally, they don't interest me much unless it was just some story you couldnt find elsewhere.

I went ahead and created the area. It's your baby. Even named you moderator of the board! So, act like that is your own personal website area right there. It's yours to run how you see fit! Good luck with it bro and thanks for the contribution!  |

After deciding to start a thread in the newly made "Roundtable Discussion Area" it became obvious pretty quick that this is an idea that isn't going to work around here. So, after leaving it up briefly, I have decided to delete the 1 thread and the area I once had on it. I'm always open to new ideas. But I think I've come to recognize when something isn't going to work. Maybe down the line in better days this would be a great addition, but as it is now, it's pretty worthless for me to have a "Roundtable Discussion Area". The board seems to be working better by just existing and letting things happen naturally. For the immediate and moderate future, I'm going to continue with that approach. I would like to thank Ace for putting up a positive suggestion in hopes of helping out.  |

Hey guys,
Sorry I disappeared there for a bit... got a bit wrapped up in the ole' real-life.
Sorry I dropped this one, hopefully if interest builds in such an interaction, I'd be cool with moderating it.
Should be back for a bit... now, to catch up on my emails.

Don't worry about it. It was a good idea. And maybe one day it can be used. But for now, it seems I'm better off just leaving the board be as it is.
Hopefully as I learn new things here shortly, I will make some changes to it. Stay tuned!
