would people like a writers forum group?

Don't know what a group is, where have you been?
anyway click here to read a bit more

If you would like a group please reply to this thread, groups can have a leader, which would also mean people have to apply to join, or be leaderless, which would mean they would be open to anyone.

so reply here if you want to be a member and if you have any ideas, also if you wish to be considered as a potiential leader say so here also

I don't really see a need.

 

it would mean we could have links to different sites about the craft of writing all in one place

I feel quite satisfied with the existing format. I'm not aware of any downside to the Writers Forum Group, yet. If one is formed, I'll likely sign on to it.

Having a moderator for Writers Forum is an improvement, since there is an individual who has made a commitment to monitoring the forum, resolving problems and answering questions.

 

this isn't instead off, its something that would add to the existing forum

you get out of it what you put into it. when i couldn't log into my groups, it sorta took the wind out of my sails, i had such plans for it. i think i'll get back on track here pretty quickly. they're handy for organizing information, links and stories, and i think that once people get the hang of it, they'll love it.

but just like when skip changed from the old format to this one, we all pissed and moaned and whined. then we got used to it, and found it pretty handy.

 

thanks KC
I've also added a poll to this so we can be clear about who would want to join

well, as someone who's a complete idiot about so much, i've done many a google search. what i love about the group forums is that it's a basic formation that is immediately recognizable to an outsider. it's simple, it's clear, it's basic. you can navigate about and decide if it's the place for you. you can put forth your own words and ideas about something in a manner that's immediately recognizable to anyone who's curious.

 

and this forum or any other won't change at all its just another area that will benefit it.
Hey KC do you think they can tell we're eager?

it should also be noted that membership in any group does NOT preclude membership in any number of groups that appeal to you. the entire thought process behing the HF groups is to simplify and make more readily available an entire community of people and resources without having to pass through the inevitable hazing process that most fora require. many of you have been to random thoughts: you KNOW what i'm talking about. a compendium of people and sources you wouldn't otherwise find. i think it's a beautiful concept. it just requires the commitment of members to make it perfect.

 

*sigh* i adore organization.

 

wow, i think it sounds like a great idea. i don't know if i'll be able to participate thouh. (i'll be posting in your forum in a minute to explain why, sam!)

 

Oh OK if you could vote anyway Kitty cause we need at least 6 people!
