I am in the process of designing a forum with a unique perspective on webdesign forums, which won’t affect the traffic to Kirupa so dont think im spamming lol.
I just want you guys opinions of the idea, its not set in stone yet, but I its progressing well. Here is the idea: A webdesign forum with 3 section: Announcements | Lounge | and |Showcase| . The really unique thing about the forum would be the filtering/invite system.
Anyone would be able to view all the threads, but only with either an invite or registration (with at least 2 works that are looked over by mods), would a designer be able to post. The only purpose of this would be to weed out non-serious designers and have a forum displaying just professional designs. It wouldn’t be strict at all, but if someone has absolutely no work or no decent work, they wouldn’t be allowed to critique other, more experience designers.
It wont be like designers are turned away, but that they would have to at least have some work under their belt, showing what they have done before.
BTW, there would be no help forums, it would just be to display and discuss work, with a lounge just to shoot the ****.
What do you guys think? Good idea, bad idea?
