Title: Suggestion: An 'Announcements' sub-board of RAF Section
Post by: Estelore on May 10, 2009, 03:34:08 PM: Sometimes you want to ask EVERYONE a big ol' question or two before you get going on a fan-fiction about RAF, and you don't want ten pages of irrelevant discussion, you JUST want your answers, simple yes, no, here-and-not-there, and a few things that won't work in polls (which not everybody answers, anyway).

Sometimes you want to tell EVERYONE something that is relevant to RAF, and you want to be sure that they'll see it.

Sometimes you want a place to post important things that don't really fit anywhere else, and you know that the topic would be flooded with discussion in any general board, which would defeat the purpose.

Do you suppose we could have an Announcements sub-board, just a place to post announcements-to-all-RAFians and questions-for-all-active-RAFians?

*shrug*
I know it'd be useful to me, certainly, and I imagine the administration could put it to good use. It'd leave suggestions/feedback/issues unclogged by this type of thing.

Post by: Estelore on May 10, 2009, 06:40:26 PM: Brad, I'm an optimist, but I never expect every member active on RAF to check my blog for updates.
I'm talking a place where you check immediately, the instant you see ''new posts".

Post by: ThinkAgain on May 10, 2009, 08:07:35 PM: Why not just a sticky thread in the blogs that's on top? I for one always check general and RAFsocial when I log on.

Post by: morfowt on May 11, 2009, 09:20:03 AM: problem is, not everyone does. I sometimes check general, but I hardly ever check RAFsocial...

Post by: Phoenix004 on May 14, 2009, 11:40:00 AM: It's not a bad idea, but I don't think it's necessary, sorry. We have our own personal threads for announcements, not to mention the RAF Blog.

(Sorry for the necro, but the new thread called this to mind, and we found it terribly funny. ^_^)
