I'd like to welcome Nich and India to the message board. They're old friends of mine. I think you'll find them to be very amiable. Nich won't be very active at the start, as he's almost always got something he has to do, but India, I'm sure, you'll get to know very quickly.

Oh, and we were discussing some ideas for the future of the forum, too.
[6:57:42 PM] Nich: so where do you want to take this?
[6:57:56 PM] Nich: just as a normal forum board, or something with a group-purpose
[6:57:58 PM] Nich: or what?
[6:58:10 PM] Nich: You say clans and I think of something a little different, a little big
[6:58:15 PM] Nich: maybe that's just me
[6:58:24 PM] Nich: clan-like atmosphere*
[6:58:27 PM] Jaskolski: When I say clans, I mean the atmosphere.
[6:58:31 PM] Jaskolski: Like, the way I remember it.
[6:58:37 PM] Jaskolski: Maybe not so much the way you remember it.
[6:58:41 PM] Jaskolski: Not in the end, at least.
[6:59:04 PM] Nich: I wished the clans was nothing but the fun roleplaying
[6:59:15 PM] Nich: a lot of it was, but too little of it
[6:59:19 PM] Jaskolski: The friendly, sort of everyone-knows-everyone type of thing. Something fun to do in your spare time.
[6:59:26 PM] Nich: that too
[6:59:29 PM] Nich: I remember that
[6:59:31 PM] Jaskolski: That's what I want for now, though I'm open to new ideas.
[6:59:53 PM] Nich: I dunno, I've always been a fan of roleplaying but it's different on the forums
[7:00:01 PM] Nich: like, I roleplayed on Gaia for some time
[7:00:06 PM] Nich: at least two years
[7:00:08 PM] Nich: off and on
[7:01:22 PM] Jaskolski: Yeah, forum roleplay isn't quite something I'm used to.
[7:01:47 PM] Jaskolski: The others, I think, wouldn't mind the idea, but I'm not so great at speaking for characters that aren't my own.
[7:01:58 PM] Jaskolski: That's why I don't often write fanfiction. It's difficult for me.
[7:03:51 PM] Jaskolski: But if we had something purposeful to do, it might attract more members.
[7:04:29 PM] Jaskolski: Maybe a sort of nerdfighteria-like decrease-world-suck charity thing?
[7:04:34 PM] Jaskolski: I don't know.
[7:04:45 PM] Jaskolski: The possibilities are infinite.
[7:12:45 PM] Nich: interesting
[7:13:53 PM] Jaskolski: I could make a section for discussing current events, I could link to a bunch of petition sites.
[7:14:16 PM] Jaskolski: There's an entire class based on the former that I'm taking my senior year.
[7:14:37 PM] Nich: don't over complicate it, especially whilst it's just sprouting up
[7:14:50 PM] Jaskolski: I know, I'm just discussing ideas.
[7:14:51 PM] Jaskolski: Chill.
[7:15:03 PM] Nich: you want your traffic on the site localized and everyone kept together talking and having fun
[7:15:09 PM] Nich: like on a page for writing
[7:15:12 PM] Nich: maybe having a contest
[7:15:16 PM] Nich: weekly or something
[7:15:23 PM] Jaskolski: oh, there's an idea.
[7:15:45 PM] Nich: everyone votes or maybe collaborates on something for a week and seeing what you can come up with
[7:16:08 PM] Nich: considering you're asking friends and people you know that write or do fanfic and so on
[7:16:17 PM] Nich: you'd get better at forum based roleplaying
[7:16:25 PM] Nich: it's the most pure form
I love it when he talks business like that. You may or may not notice me do this a lot, just as a warning. This sounds a bit sherlocky, but I find the guy utterly fascinating. Think of how influential he'd be as some sort of world leader, y'know? But that's just the storyteller in me. Ignore my rambling.

Tehehe. The roleplaying idea sounded fun, although I'm really not too good at that, either. XD The contest idea sounded fun, the only problem being I feel as if I'm not nearly on the same level as you, writing wise! XD But, yes. I love the collaboration idea, where we all work on something together. Urgh, everything sounds fun.
Sounds like a plan. Nich, you shall be President.

Very nice to meet you all. I'm looking foward to getting to know all of you well soon enough. As a reference - you all can call me India or Indie, whichever you prefer.

Just an FYI - India's very reserved, usually, when you first meet her. She's accustomed to power in a group, which was granted to her, as well as a few others. She can be very fun and informal, as I'm sure she will be eventually, but it may take some time.
