[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5157989, member: 46559"] I was the one who went through the process of creating the L4W forum. Here's what I did, as far as I can recall. 1. I created a social group: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/group.php]EN World D&D / RPG News - Social Groups[/url], and asked people who were interested to join it. 2. Once a certain number of people had joined the group (I think it was 10), it gave me a link on the group admin page to create a private forum for the group. I did that. 3. We used that forum for discussion, planning, worldbuilding, and, when we were ready, playing games. 4. We created a thread in Meta asking Morrus to link that forum from the Living Worlds subforum. At the time, he wanted to see how the private forums concept would work out, so he asked us to wait and see. We did. After perhaps six months, when activity had picked up quite a bit, we asked again, and he did it. If I had it to do over again, I would have created a judge ENWorld account to create the social group with. The reason for that is that the person who creates the group becomes the moderator of the private forum, and doesn't have the power to add more moderators. If it's a shared account between the judges, then they can all be mods, and the forum isn't broken if the person who happened to create it disappears. [/QUOTE]
