(OK, feel free to come up with a better name for this thread. :ph43r: )

In case the set-up isn't clear:
If you want, you can post a profile (as a separate thread) in this forum. The profile threads will be closed to avoid spam and such (edit: no they won't, because then you can't edit your profile anymore) - but you're free to discuss each other's profiles here.
Try not to make questions too personal, though. And if you don't feel like answering someone's question, just say so. :)

Please put this code (or something with the same message) in your profile:
Code:
 
[color=coral][b][SIZE=4]NO POSTING IN THIS THREAD - POST ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IN THE GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD LOCATED IN THIS FORUM.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION![/SIZE][/b][/color]

post a profile

Erm...not quite sure what you mean by this, are surveys (like myspace surveys) okay?

What I meant was a personal profile. The 'Your interests' box in your user profile only gives 1000 characters of space, and Xena pointed out that that was not enough - hence this forum.
So you could post your name, your favourite movies, your favourite quotes, your hobbies, your favourite colour, your favourite food, your... I don't know. Anything, really. :) (Well, as long as it complies with the rules.)

This'll probably go as spam, but thanks for explaining!

Alright, it can be deleted now.

Well, I went and posted a 'profile', just to give folks an idea of what to do. I did it more 'conversational' than just stating 'facts', like Age:, Location:, Hobbies: -so I guess any style you choose is fine.

So, now what do we do? If someone wants to ask me a question about my profile or something, they can ask me HERE, in this thread, and then I would, in turn, reply to them HERE? Is that how it's working?

Isn't it GREAT when even the mods are clueless??!! :D

Ok...I think I understand this concept. I'm going to go post a profile for myself... (actually, thanks Das for posting yours first so I could get an idea of what I'm going to do. :) )

I have no idea. :lol:
I think that was the plan, yes... and of course, if people want to comment or ask something about someone's profile, they can always PM - then at least you're sure to get an answer.

Information in profiles could also be an incentive to start a thread in another forum. For example, if you see that one or two other people also like one of your favourite movies, you can start a thread about that movie, and (if you think it necessary) PM the other fans to point out the thread's existence. (Of course, you can start a thread about any movie anyway... but if you know other people love that movie too, you can be sure that you'll have something to talk about.)

The profile threads will be closed to avoid spam and such -

Dutch, I see where the profiles that have been created are 'closed'. I'm assuming that the original posters can still go back and edit their own profiles, right?

(and thanks for creating this new forum :) )

Oh, crud... That's a valid point you make. I'm so used to being able to edit posts wherever, being a mod and admin in various places - but you're right: I think members can't edit their posts in closed threads.
*has a look through admin controls*
Well, I can't find any smart solutions... I guess we'll just have to leave the threads open.
(I'll think about this some more later, but I have to go now.)

(No worries. :D It was a good idea. :))

I think leaving the threads open should work....as long as everyone knows that if you post in someone else's profile thread that reply would be deleted by the Admins without notice.

Or...we could just keep them closed (I want mine closed) and ask the members to experiment with it. For instance, theater savvy pirate posted her profile - why not just ask her if she's able to edit her post even though the thread is closed? If she can, then no worries. Actually, I think they can still edit their posts...just can't ADD posts.

We need a guinea pig....

:P

Heya, everyone!!

Great profiles so far!! Just a heads up, though - remember to post comments about the profiles here, or send a pm to the person if you want to ask them something, OR...if you see that there are several folks with the same interest, start a thread about the subject in the appropriate forum.

Also, I added a 'Do not post in this thread' message at the bottom of each profile. I encourage everyone to add one to their profile so that folks unaware of the guidelines won't accidentally post in the thread. You can keep the one I posted, or make your own. It might be good to keep the color of the text the same in all, just because it stands out - I used the following tags: [size=4] - so feel free to use them if you'd like!!

Thanks for playing and cooperating!!
