Pretty Please, What is the Plan for the GD Forum?

The General Discussion forum has now been closed for almost two months.

I was just wondering if any of the Prince.org staff would be able to tell us or maybe just even give us a clue to what (if any) plans there are for that forum.
Thanks.

I'm wondering what it is that you can post on GF that you haven't been posting since it closed? What is the allure? People still post silly ass comments/questions so why do you need GF?
Just wondering.smile

If there is a place for the silly stuff then it won't clog up the music forums. So anyone who wants to discuss Prince can do so without wading thru the off topic stuff.

There's going to be one hell of an anti-climax for many when GD board does return.

You're all building it up into some legendary, nostalgia fuelled Cyber Utopia... lol

Well, the moderators are mostly on vacation (they have real lives, so they tell me), so I can't do much until they come back. We're planning to write a simple set of rules, post them for all to see, and reopen the forum, although some things will change... it won't be the "first" one in the list, and some other things. Also, we'll probably have a "flames and trash" forum that we will happily move things from GD, into, if they get out of hand.

I'd say target for this to happen is September 1st, but anything's possible, earlier or later.

The flames and trash forum will be GREAT!

Thanks, Ben! You are a king among men and I like your idea... "You got MOXIE!!!"

I say 2 hell with the GD forum. We (kinda) already have 2 GD forums ; "Prince: music and more" and "Prince.org site discussion". Why not keep it how it is?

I guess if Uve made plans then the GD forum is a good idea with having 2 sub-forums under it, but will that mean the end of any of the other forums? Perhaps "Prince: Music and More" which was created in its place?

Im wondering all this because it already seems a bit too congested.

I think the other forums would be less congested with the new GD forum opened up. The bullshit would have its place instead of popping up in forums with a specific purpose.
