Further tatysite.net forum development

[forre]

Dear friends,

Administration of this forum would like to hear your opinions on an idea to widen up the general topic of the entire forum of tatysite.net, with a stress to pay less attention on the group itself but instead to develop new subforums. Any suggestions are welcome!

There's a poll with only two options. Please, explain your motivation if voted.

Thank you very much!

I think it'll be a good idea, since it'll be fantastic to have people on the forum who are not just focused on Tatu.

Good luck, Igor!

[cirrus]

I said "Yes"

What I like about this forum is that it's not all Tatu related, and there's lots of interaction in the General forum. I don't have many ideas for new subforums... maybe an area for funny/humor stuff and another for serious issues? I dunno

[QueenBee]

I vote Yes too! I think this forum has become more than just a Tatu forum, it's about us too and we're good friends.. so it's fun to discuss other things as well and.. who knows what ideas we'll come up with? Hehe.

[teeny]

it's about us too and we're good friends..

the temp forum being the perfect example. There weren't that many tatu threads in there and most posts were in the other forums.

I'll vote yes too

[spyretto]

yeah, the emphasis is already put on some of the other subforums ( like the general one, for example ) when Tatu's news are not very hot, so to develop it further sounds like a cool idea.

[Lux]

while i love the portion for tatu, the other parts of the forum are awesome because of all the people that visit. broadening it would be cool

[taty994945]

Yes, it will be good.

[freddie]

Definitely... if we don't expand it and eventualy concentrate it on other things then we're going towards an inevitable doom. Because we have to be realistic - there will come a day (maybe it's still far away but it will come eventualy) and we have to be prepared for it. :/

And I agree with Queenie completely... it became so much more then "just" a tatu forum. Really like a group of friends. We were initialy bound together by tatu, but then we discovered other common interests and so on... So my vote would be "yes. Definitely. A logical decision.

[Airheadap]

Yeah, since the girls havn't been very noteworthy... since Eurovision... broadening the forum is essential to its survival. Hell, Lena *told* a Swedish tabloid she's leaving. She may not be around tomorrow. And the forum would die, sooner or later. I voted yes.

[0newinged]

Sure like everyone has said this place is more then about the group, so many different people have come together to make this a great place to visit, more forums will just strengthen that

[Lena410]

I voted yes for the reasons most of the people before me said.

[QueenBee]

Wow, 100% on "Yes" so far..
If the forum disappeared with Tatu, I don't know WHAT I would have done! Scary thought..

[forre]

QueenBee, No one is thinking to take t.A.T.u. out. This part will remain as long as there's an interest in the group. Don't worry.

[QueenBee]

Hehe.. I know that forre I meant, if Tatu would stop making records ( ) and would end as a group, THEN if the forum would disappear (which it obviously would if it was ONLY about Tatu - which it's not ) THEN..

Then again this question is placed in the general forum, so I take it most people who get to see it may be regulars in this part, and therefor wish to extend the features in here. While posters at tatu part only may not, or doesn't really care.
Anyway.. why am I even stating this? It's a good thing for sure

[Tom Violence]

Is this intended as an attempt to improve the functionality of the forum for current users? Or is the idea that expanding the non-t.A.T.u. parts of the forum should elicit new members who need not necessarially have any interest in the group?

I am more keen on the former than the latter. I like t.A.T.u. fans, obsessive or otherwise, more than I like the population at large.

[Mossopp]

I'm inclined to agree with Tom Violence.
While I see nothing wrong with expanding the forums, in doing so we do run the risk of an influx of a lot of people who may not find tATu very favourable. In this instance I see a lot of fights and arguments kicking off which will make this forum a rather unpleasent place to be.
I happen to think that the non-tATu sections of the forum which we have at present are more than sufficient. We have a 'General' board, an 'Aquaintances' board, a 'Personal' board. a 'Music and Movies' board and a board for posting our creative musings. What more could we possibly need? If we generalise anymore we will no longer be a tATu fan collective - we'll just be a random bunch of people who happen to hang around on the same web space!

*Daz goes to add to Mossop and Tom Violences Karma rating and realises he's on the wrong forum*

Seriously though what more could you add(except the Karma rating i mentioned where if someone makes a good post you applaud them.If they make a bad post you smite them.This rating usually appears under the persons name.You can only do this once per post)as this forum covers most stuff???

[goku]

forre, I thought this was only for the Russian forum?
forre: Check the mods' "place", please.

Anyways, I do not think it should be so. We have expanded the forum enough, what else could we bring? In order to attract/keep people coming here, on the English forum I do not believe this is a big enough problem.
