SOME QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS I'd like to make about our upcoming forum... first of all, huge thanks to everyone for taking part in that section requests thread and helping our "cause" get noticed guys, we did it
I've been in touch with the GMs getting it approved and set up since it won't have it's own development team right in the beginning, and it should be ready for our Grah Pravesh by Monday morning Initially I think it's best if Aish, Janu, Deeps and I get in there and create the basic threads it would have (pic gallery, creations gallery, lyrics, rules, etc.) and then we can PM my GM buddies Shruti and Mango to make them sticky (as in permanently stuck on the top row of the forum) since they said they'd gladly do that for us. Then within 2-3 hours, you guys can get in and make whatever threads come to mind and we can party!!
We CC buddies will prob be the first people there and then hopefully lots of new members will join us... so in order to make this one of the most active, enlightening, and welcoming places on the internet, these are some ideas I have for the rules/guidelines thread... if you guys have any thoughts on what to add/change so that we can end fights before they happen (since this forum will be for ALL mythos, old and new, regardless of who made them and when) and encourage really great discussions, please do mention:
- editing -
- Number one: all offscreen pics, vids, interviews and info will be in a single thread... if we keep opening separate threads every time we find new ones, it's going to get messy and inefficient I think.
- Number 2: haha I just said number 2 🤣 Ok I'm fine - yes, the 2nd thing is that since we're going to be in a forum, we're going to have the ability to make polls. They're not like orkut where the comments underneath are a bit hard to keep track of, there's just an anonymous poll on top and underneath a regular thread with regular posts so it can be tons of fun. BUT not if we have comparison polls that put one show/ actor/ set of actors against the other. So NO threads that ask questions like "which Sita Haran was better", "which Maharaas song was better", "who made a better Krishna", etc. Instead, polls can be made that only compare an actor/actress to his/herself (i.e. "Which was so-and-so's best emotional scene"), multiple songs/scenes from the same show (i.e. "favorite funny moment from Show X"), and so on. Basically no cross-comparisons, polls are to concern only one show/actor at a time.
- Discussion threads in general need not follow this rule; you're welcome to create threads that are broad in scope and invite insights on scenes from a bunch of different shows at once. For example the kinds of DotWs we've had on gender roles in mythos, duties of children, oaths and promises, all are broad enough that we can have contributions coming from all the different shows and get the best of both worlds. But again, no disrespect - keep it positive and keep it relevant.
- Not only mythological shows, but basically anything religious/spiritual/inspiring is welcome in this forum. For non-TV bhajans and paintings, we were thinking to move Deeps's Bhakti Lounge thread into the forum, since the mods can do that. Deeps, what do you think?? For all interesting kathas/explanations and interpretations/saint stories you'd like to share, feel free to give them a thread of their own.
- The general stuff - no harsh language, no disrespect for members or that which constitutes their preferences, no repetitive topics, no smoking, no bringing food if there's not enough for everyone 😆
How does it sound, guys? Any changes/additions/objections?
