I've decided to create a place to give you guys and girls a place to discuss additions to Temporal Reality. What other topics would you like to seen be given it's own board, what topics do you think would do well? By all means feel free to speak your mind here, I'd love to see Temporal Reality expand even more, but ultimatly it is based on what all of you want. I'm open to suggestions and requests, but I think at least 4 members will have to agree to a specific board, and be interested enough to post in it often, to keep it flowing! Feel free to request/discuss non sci-fi topics as well that you would like to see added to TR. Thanks! ~Myke

Doesn't anything that doesn't fit anywhere already go into the General forum though?

Somewhat, but what if we had no Star Trek forum? Thats the reason for this, as you remember when TR first opened Star Trek as the only themed forum, then over time as people began joining with more intrests then Trek, other forums were created.
For example Oliver requested a Red Dwarf board last week, if there had been more intrest, and enough intrest to keep the boar alive, it would have been created, and may have drawn some Red Dwarf fans in time.

I love Red Dwarf too. I can´t think of anything else that could be added. Will let you know if a topic comes to mind. Oh oh... just thought of something... LOL How about a category for disasters.... tornadoes and floods and.... errrmmm... such?

I'm unsure what kind of topics we could have on natural disasters, did you have examples in mind? Also take into account it's extremely late for me, and my thinker isnt functioning as it should

Also take into account it's extremely late for me, and my thinker isnt functioning as it should Ah... with PurpleEyes we would be 3 fans then. And no... I have nothing really in mind except for talking about how the world changes due the way we treat this planet and what could happen... Oh forget it. LOL Was a silly idea. I was just thinking of that film "The Day after Tomorrow", which I saw on Saturday and that´s why I thought of it. Forget it - it´s stupid.

3 that's right, told you my thinker isnt working well at the moment It's not a stupid idea at all, that kind of stuff intrests me as well. I only fear of another board falling into the same boat as the Anime board, and more the Farscape board, which both is kind of my fault, there are massive amounts of fans out there for each show, but I havent been reaching them, although I do have a plan for that. I don't think any ideas are stupid. I was also pondering a 'Horror' forum, althought it dosent really have a catagory, I could sneak it in the Imagination & Fantasy forum, and talk about horror films, which seems to be a popular subject these days, but again, it's up to all of the members, and would need at least 4 people who has a good intrest in it so the board stays at least semi active!

Yes... the Horror Chamber or The Chamber of Horror... or something like that. hehehe I like that. Maybe we can combine Disasters with something else. Don´t know what though. Maybe someone else will come up with something. Oh I know.... how about having different disaster categories: Distasters that are real and have occurred Disasters that could occur - a "what if" place. (Talking about things like what we would do if something like in the film "The Day after Tomorror" would happen). Disaster movies And whatever others can come up with. ;D

Actually Myke, the best way to determine if something is gonna work is to look through the general and see what is hot
If a certain thread relating tosomething hits say 5 pages and is still going months after, yeah it deserves a forumn of its own as it shows that there is interest.
When TR launched, you had a broad Sci-Fi forumn going though, just that a majoroty of posters talked Trek only. When you got more posters the other forumns started to get going, which I wasn't here for.

actually...since the anime board is under my jurisdiction....I will take responsibility for that one being slow...lol It's been hard trying to keep interest in it really...I need to come up withg a unique idea....people when it first opened...were like wow..i remember that show...and so on...but once they talked about it...poof....the threads died....I even tried making some trivia for it....that didn;t go over too well....LOL If you have any idea Myke let me know....I haven't been able to think of anything myself...but I haven;t given up...

The thing with anime is the fact that there isn't really alot of anime on TV. Thats the drawbask to that, I only know of anime on TechTV(which is on at like 11pm CST) and I am usually in bed at 11pm fast asleep, and on the Cartoon Network, again on late at night.

For the anime board Wolf, I have no ideas, that's why I seeked out a moderator for it, but don't feel too bad, what TR is lacking for the Anime board is Anime fanatics, who also like different aspects of science fiction. I'm going to begin working on attracting Farscape and Anime members, once and if enough of them are here, those boards will fall into line with the others, and pretty much keep themselves active. I just don't know enough about it to drive the forum once they get here.
