Major Suggestion: Add a discussion section

Question

Have another section Besides Pokebase RMT and meta. A general discussion section. Basically like Pokebase but more like an actual forum. So you can ask more poll like/opinionated questions. Because it's hard to have a conversation in chat with someone because they might not be online. And it also takes a long time to have a conversation through walls. You say something, then wait and keep rechecking your wall. Or maybe we should at least put wall posts in your personal updates page.

Rumor has it that we’ll have a forum soon.

That's pretty much what I was suggesting

Yeah, Pokemaster announced several years ago that a Forum section was under way, but we don’t know when it’ll be implemented or how far in development it is yet. I know that some people have been suggesting to merge the RMT and/or Meta sections with the Forum, although I don’t know if Pokemaster has said anything about that.

Does this count as a duplicate question?

I guess, I left it because to act as a sort of bump and as an excuse to put links and discussions in one place. That being said if someone wants to hide or close its fine with me.

I asked basically the same question ages ago, and everyone was just like "what the hell's wrong with chat?"

Answer 1

PM is currently working on discussion forums, or more generalised forums where open discussion can take place. Either way, the idea and the community wanting for open discussion and debate has been recognised for quite some time.

If the forums will ever be actually made or not is something else completely, but auth and PM have discussed it at some length in the fairly recent past so in either case it's known about.

some homework for you
