Forums or foru?

Good suggestion ... and one that's been considered - for such a topic area to work, there needs to be, at minimum, some volunteers who have good literary skills and the time to review new article submissions to be sure they are on-topic, have decent grammer (need not perfect, but it should be at least reasonably readable), and are only original articles that people have written.

The presentation of the articles is no biggie - that's the easy part ... my thought is to present the articles in a format similar to Cannabis News http://www.cannabisnews.com/ ... I originally created that site, so the programming is already pretty much done.

Let me know if this sounds good - and if you and/or others here have the time, etc to help make such a feature a reality.

Thanks!

Ron

Hey!

Thanks for replying, Ron!

I'm glad that you actually considered the idea.. You've even had the idea yourself, which is even better! :)

I realise it would take time and effort on somebody's part to maintain this, and of course I would be willing to give a helping hand, considering how much spare time I have currently, with one thing and another. I'm sure there would be others who would also love to lend a hand, and maybe even submit articles themselves - I know I definately would. :)

Like you said, the presentation shouldn't be a problem - the layout of Cannabis News should be suited to this kind of thing perfectly. The only problem I can predict is getting people to submit items, but something similar to a reputation or voting system would be cool and might add some sort of incentive.

Again, thanks for replying Ron! I kind of expected this thread to disappear in to the archives! +lol+

This is such an awesome idea it blows my mind. This is something I'd really be into. -laughs- I have more time then you can imagine, as well as sum mad literary skillz. If you need a helping hand, I for one volunteer. ((I know it's lame to be like ooh ooh pick me, but I'm way into this idea like milk in the fridge man, as in, I think it's real cool.))

Even if I don't get picked to help with it, please do it anyway! -laughs- I'd still be submittin' articles and stuff, which in essense is just as necessary for keeping it alive as a volunteer to help with regulating it. ;)

Just keep us updated on this awesome idea.

I'm too enthusiastic. Oh well. lol
