[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1441418, member: 13098"] ArthurQ - I think that is part of what Morrus is trying to decide. Morrus - I might be interested. It would kind of depend on a few things. I can see some nice utility for my gaming group to have threaded, searchable discussions without having the hassle of dealing with my ISP. Of course, I have also thought of getting a broadband connection at home and just running the server myself. Or, any other number of options. So, this would be a nice alternative that I would consider. Realistically speaking, a gaming group discussing an ongoing game is not going to generate a huge amount of traffic in comparison to EN World's public forums. For the game I play in (running on the DM's copy of Vbulletin) we have generated nearly 10,000 posts in just about 2 1/2 years. Out of that, I am the most prolific poster with 2408 posts. We are a 6 person group. We are probably less chatty than some groups, and we are much more chatty than the group I DM that has 8 players and just a few hundred posts. My previous game ran for ~ 2 years and might have approached 1000 posts. So, resource wise this is not a huge addition to ENWorld. The other benefit I would see would be that I would have an easier time encouragin my players to come check EN World out. As it is, Macbeth is the only ENWorld regular in my group. (And that is hardly a surprise since we met through ENWorld.) For my purposes, I would want a "private forum" since anything that the group wanted to make "public" could be posted in ENWorld's regualr threads. It would just give us the capability to have a little more organized board to post to. [/QUOTE]
