Hi,

I agree with the others.

have a nice day

A DL? you shouldn't do this, you know. This is a serious forum...

Oh! add my name for the sub-forum (at the same level as General, Strategy etc. that is).

have a nice evening

I really can't see that you would be granted a special forum anyway. The volume of AU threads in Strategy simply isn't high enough at the moment.

Besides, is there any reason it SHOULDN'T stay in the Strat forum? Why would you want new players looking for strategy tips to have to check out two different forums when they come to 'poly? I though the plan was to make things easier for newbies to learn, not harder....

[Theseus]

I've always thought AU should remain part of Strategy overall, although it would be (potentially) nice for specific AU courses to have their own sub-fora.

Sorry there eric.... Didn't want to scare you. You may search posts by someone named panag and find the similarities with yours...

Enjoy your stay here at Apolyton!

Glad to know I wasn't the only one thrown by the term "sub-forum". It gets my vote however.

[GodKing]

Not being a regular AU person (but someone who lurkes here a bit) I would prefer it to remain a part of the main strategy forum (thus my vote).

However, if it was a sub-forum to the strat forum, I would not mind.

I do think that it shouldn't be given its own forum equal to the strat forums, or general forum, etc. (on the same line of thinking, I would merge all the demo game forums into sub forums.... but that is just how I would organize things).

Add my name if you want.

I also think that it would be better to remain in the Strategy Forum. Giving it a separate forum may discourage people from getting involved, as they may not realize what AU is all about. (I certainly did not understand the intent for the first couple of months lurking here.)

This poll is also driving me to ask a newbie question: Why is banana always a potential vote? Is this an inside joke, or can it be shared with all?

Have a horrid, stinking, festering, mind-numbing, teeth-grinding, forced-to-watch-Gigli-until-you-have-it-memorized day (Thought I should prove I'm not panag )

sub forum

[TheArsenal]

Just curious, what's the loose time table for having all this up and running?

[Tassadar500]

Well it really depends what happens. So I can give a time line yet.

[sabrewolf]

yes, own forum

[FrustratedPoet]

I'd like to re-iterate that your chances of getting a new forum before some tangible progress has been made on expanding AU is about zero.* AU threads have happily existed in the Strat forum for a year now without causing any problems.

If AU takes off and there are 9 or 10 active threads at a time, THEN ask for a new forum. It will be justified and you'll probably get it. To be honest, you've got more important things to concern yourself with now if you want to expand AU. Of course, this is at the discretion of the Dean and he's quite welcome to ignore me if he wishes.

* - I should make clear that I'm basing this just on experience of being here for a while and seeing many similar requests for forums turned down for this very reason. Of course, I have no influence over the decision of the admins.
