Why don't you use these boards, or your own home boards for such discussions... To make another board to do discussions is to me, odd...
If you want to discuss Prodigy rules, do so here, just post the topic and ask for opinions, it's really that simple, at least to me it is...
There are actually a couple answers to these questions.
Boardhost offered a free beta-test of their new software, and I wanted to try it. I really like some of the features. I can set different levels of users, different levels of permissions for groups, post announcements, change the headers and footers. And I don't have to negotiate with Ragnar or Buddha or Qris or Carole about how to run the Uncensored Board.
Rags and I had lengthy discussions about what kind of stuff could go on the WM Boards. Some of my writing, and the kinds of arguments I think are productive do not fit with Rags’ vision of what he wants these boards to be. I can be very provocative in my writing, using colorful metaphors, sarcasm, irony, ridiculing people’s flawed reasoning…. I also think a ten page thread, of people passionately arguing back and forth, can be a productive discussion. Ragnar wants a more sedate tone on these boards, dispassionate discussion.
Prodigy Rules are a very touchy subject. At some point, there will be a statement on this Board, explaining why WM Gor does not use Prodigy, and why we are going a different direction with Gorean combat.
Since we in PClaw roleplay on the other sites too, we have a stake in what happens with Prodigy. But technically, since nobody on WM uses Prodigy, discussion of it doesn’t belong on the WM Boards, especially contentious discussion.
To put it simply, if I started a thread here, “Hey, what do people think of Prodigy Rules?”, Rags would have my hide made into slippers.
