Introducing . . .

It's finally here guys. Brand new and I'm sure there are still plenty of bugs to work out, but what can ya do! Let's jump in head first, shall we?

The Bara Forums!

Named so because I have a shocking lack of creativity.

. . . please don't break them okay? ;_;

Oh BTW

Forum should be up at some point tomorrow.

Alrighty then

So for anyone too lazy to read through the comments for last post, it seems I probably will be creating a bara forum in the not-too-distant future. There are no guarantees beyond that! Anyway, guess it's time to look at hosting stuff now.

Forum

So I've been thinking lately. About message boards. Maybe it's just frustration that I can't reply back directly to comments left here or something, but I've been thinking lately that I might . . . make one?

Something with more permanence than an imageboard that erases posts once they get bumped down enough pages, where users can carve out more of a niche for themselves, y'know, with avatars, profiles, PMs, and so on. Also: discussion! Forum stuff! Or maybe just a place to hang and talk about bara without the casual rudeness that infests every anonymous imageboard ever. xD;;

I'm picturing a central "hub" board devoted solely to bara, along with a bunch of sub-boards. Maybe one for scanlators? Where providers, scanners, translators, editors--they can all advertise their services and meet up? Form groups? Hmmmm.

The thing stopping me is not knowing how much discussion would actually take place. Would bara fans actually take interest in something like this?

We do already have the wonderful JCFA, but it's not exactly easy to find for newcomers to the "scene", and they don't like other sites linking to them. It's also still plagued by spambots (though they've been doing better with that lately). Mahhh, I dunno, would I come off as an asshole if I tried to start up a "rival" board? :/

Well, just something I've been thinking about lately.
