Guest Knorg Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 How about changing the forum so that it can be read by anyone, and simply making people use the age verification beforehand? I can see the advantages of requiring people to register to post, but can't see why people need to register to read? This would bring it in line with the story archive also.

Shirotaka Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I have been playing with that idea myself. Get out of my head! That seems like, if nothing else it would bring some of the members from main here to get a feel for how this area works, may even get some of them to sign up and get talking.

Solaris Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 That might be a good idea. I will suggest this to the other mods and admins to see if opening one forum to unregistered guests but to reply you must be a member. I'll do this right now.

Guest Knorg Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 If it's just one forum, the the AFF Main or FAQs section would seem to be the obvious choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 It will probably be one of those two forums, if the others agree with the suggestion to open a forum to unregistered guests. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Actually, am in progress of doing this right now. I just have to do some edits in some globals to disable that required login that shows up on the index when you go to it. I already set the board to allow for guest viewing this morning. In just a couple of areas for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acal Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Great idea, theres alot less people signed up here then there are on the archive, we need to get more people over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I even promote the forum on our LJ community to entice them to join the forum as well. I probably should promote it again to see if people will come join it if they haven't already joined. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirotaka Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Good thinking Beth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I see we have at least three new members joining already. Not sure if they came from the LJ or the site. But that's three new members. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Ya know, the whole idea is to integrate the archive and forum as much as we can. By not having different groups to login to, for example, as those are now here; and other things that you'll be seeing done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirotaka Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Does that mean the archive might be getting a centralized login? I have heard much of the frustration of authors with having to go log in to each fandom separately to edit or check on the stories they may have in a different one. Like a reputable Naruto author has to log into the Inuyasha fandom if he/she has only one story there. Seems a little unecessary, unless there is something I am missing, or it has recently been fixed, in which case banish me to the darkest corners of the multiverses. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 The archive login has actually been centralized for at least the last few weeks that I know of. I found that out by accident when I was reading in one section, jumped to another and stayed logged in. So, curiosity got the better of me and I started jumping from category to category, to see if I was logged out, and I was not. That's something that aggravated me to no end (as a user), the login not being centralized, and I only READ. I can't imagine what a pain that must've been to the authors. This was done thanks to two very talented much younger than me coders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirotaka Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Oh Awesome! Thank you Manta and xax then!! (assuming since they are only other two coders I know of lol) This will make reading a whole lot easier. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Oh, forum is now open to guest view in some areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knorg Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 That's cool. I'd say "Thanks for doing my request!" but since you were going to anyway it would be redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 your request nudged me to do it faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
