I like that Idea mostly because us staff members can have a different role rather than just moderating a forum. The Moderators/Super Moderators could start the Annual Awards we have each year, and they could inform Chris about it so he could make that Sub-Forum for the moderator who's in charge of the whole Annual Awards. This is a nice suggestion since Chris wouldn't have to do this (Except making that forum from the ACP) and it could give extra roles for other members of staff which would be good to see. We could also be given a chance to add Content to the site as well, which means it's not just Chris that's doing it, but other staff as well.
I also have to agree with what most of said about the Fun & Games forum since alot of us (Especially myself) go to that specific forum and go to the topic called "The Random Post Topic" which I believe is fun, but looking at the description of the topic, it says "Special gift for the 10 000th poster"; That itself can get a load of members posting in that topic because they would get a special prize. To be honest, I'm finding it a waste of time, but what is the prize first of all? A free version of GTA SA? Free version of Photoshop? Or is it just the forum based money because that to me, is seriously pointless to achieve.
Some members are also starting to post in the Warzone alot as well from all my times in this forum, and looking at all the topics, their usually around 5 worded posts, or usually they just make no sense, we need to move people away from the warzone and into General Discussions (Depending on if they don't like talking about GTA) or GTA itself. I think that could get us a more positive opinion from new members because one guy I believe posted and said this:
I was the one that removed the link. To be honest, he was right. Then after that ofcourse, some members come and post, and their posts where flamed based posting which drove this member away from us. I can't believe we, a large well known, good forum was said to be "awful". It really makes me feel that it's the staff's fault that we're giving examples to new members to be like this. Although the warzone is like that, most topics in their are okay, since the member could be saying sorry, or is trying to resolve the problem, but with noobish flaming happening, it's somehow driving a New Member away from us.
I for one think we seriously need to change in most places, to be honest, and I believe most of you would agree (Especially if you've joined a few months back).
