Board Thread:Site Discussions/@comment-679780-20140812173816

Since I don't support SFW anymore, I propose that we should have the Fandom Forums back as a new modern board for fanon discussion. It could also double as a non-Sonic general discussion board. I would also propose that above the thread list of this particular board should also display list latest blog entries. This way members can find both threads and blogs that may appeal to their interest much more conveniantly than simply observing recent changes.

The reason why Fandom board was not passed over to the modern boards was because the admins at the time wanted SNN to be more about Sonic himself and less about fanstuff.

However I believe having the Fandom board back may boost users morale It would give a more open place to discuss about general things that doesn't belong in General Discussion (which descripts say it's for Sonic talk) and I bet would also cut down on the 101 threads we've been recieving lately. Yes these threads would perhaps appear on the Fandom wiki but we could ask to have less of them than outright ban them and we will know where they will be. (I'll admit it occured to me that this could be a sollution to have less 101 threads since fans are merely asking Sonic based questions to other Sonic fans than simply aksing Sonic questions.)

I know you perhaps believe that user blogs would perhaps be best for fandom based discussion. However this is where I believe it is important to have recent blog entries listed on the Fandom board because really the only way to know of latest blogs would be to check up on them on Recent Changes or by "watching" selected userblog listings for entries, so if you think about it, lots of new blogs are being missed out to those who are contributing.

If we have a Fandom forum for general discussion and also list latest blogs, either somewhere else or on the Fandom Threads list, then there can be more traffic circulating around for both the forums and the blogs than just being one-sided.
