Everyone please read - New forum section ?

[Daza XIII]

Just an idea, see what everyone else thinks.

So as I assume most of us did, I bought a copy of FSP and then joined this forum because of it. The nice thing about this place though is
it’s not just an FSP forum and there are quite a few other interesting topics to be found. Since I have been a member it has become one
of my favourite places on the www because for the most part there are a good bunch of people who post on here regularly with a nice
sense of community.

So with that in mind do we think it may be useful to set up a new “any other business” section to the forum. Somewhere to post a few
jokes, any non flight related topics of interest and a place for the regulars to get to know each other a bit better and have a bit of fun.

Nice idea Daza Xlll,but i don't know if Dan or The moderators will agree.

Nice idea, but it has been brought up many times and the general consensus was to submit such topics to the "Real World Aviation" section.

From Daza XIII : So with that in mind do we think it may be useful to set up a new “any other business” section to the forum.
Somewhere to post a few jokes,

A section with A FEW jokes would be certainly a change because so far, all existing sections are FULL of jokes

But yes, as the FsP community is something more than just a software user's forum. I am often curious what you think and feel about
various topics and events. Then a section for general talk "the lounge" or something like that would be nice.

In afew words Daza, full support to your suggestion

In my experience, the number of forum sections doesn't matter. In a community like THIS, threads tend to get off topic because responses are made to
something else, that just triggered that association or memory. Having an extra "off topic" forum will not improve the situation.

I Personally like the Idea of an Off Topic forum, one where you can discuss the latest news, jokes, riddles, and games. Or find something funny and
want to share.

It would also get rid of off topic threads where they might not belong.

People just have to make sure what they post isn't going to offend anyone, and is somewhat suitable for a family forum.

And the chances of this ever going to happen are?

Well, I have been here for at least a year. I rarely see anyone post anything offensive, and if they do it will be removed in no time.
If it is really bad or has happened a few times the user will probably be banned.

There is no way you can stop someone from posting something that might not suite a family forum so on, but if they do it will be removed.
I think that is no reason to not have an off topic forum.

Just my 2 cents.
