Message: <blockquote data-quote="yangnome" data-source="post: 925699" data-attributes="member: 7413">My board in form and function is very similar to this one..well, at least the program that runs this one.  It has privat messaging.  As for the character management forums, I basically just set tehm up so that only the GM and the player can access them...an outsider wouldn't know that they exist.  It kind of works out to be like a pm, but you have alot better continuity and can have multiple threads in each forum.   For example, I could have one thread for character background, another for a spell list, another for my equipment sheet and others discussing whatever I want to tell the DM at a particular time.  I usually set it up so both the player and DM can post threads, entries, edit, etc.  I do have control to change that if you want though. The only down side is that I with my Admin privleges can see everything, so you'd have to trust me not to look at the hidden threads... I can't view PMs though.As for moderator status, that wouldn't be any problem.  You can edit, and delete users posts, split topics, etc.  I can limit privleges to moderators, like polls and stuff, or keep them open to everyone.  As a moderator, you cannot create forums, but I don't think that is a huge deal.  In the past when running games on simialr boards, I've set up a town as a forum with different threads representing locations in town (that might work well here) Or you could set each location as a forum of its own, allowing users to start different threads for different visits.  Tell you what, if you want to see how it works, come visit my boards.  I'll go set up some sample threads now.  You'll notice a section called Buffy RPG.  You'll be able to see a couple forums ( Idon't know what they'll be called yet, but they'll all be unde the buffy section.  You won't be able to post there though (I restrict them to noon-game members)  Once you register a name, I'll add you to the game list, at which time you can post there.  I'll also give you moderator status over the threads... you'll also suddenly see the character management threads, which were there all along, just hidden because your name wasn't on the permissions.Anyow, I think I am rambling, let me go set this up.  I'll be around most of the day, so I'll keep an eye out for your registration.</blockquote>
