Hi All. I hope you'll forgive me waxing lyrical with suggestions again.
For a while I have been contemplating how to get all the great information, photos etc that is lost amidst the various threads in the forums into a more easily accessible format. There is so much excellent information in the threads. When it is in the 'Interesting Items' threads it can be hard to find again without trawling through every page. There is a lot of information in the threads but it is not assimilated.
I wondered if we should have a separate forum:
RPG Research - Database Construction Forum
In the forum, we can have dedicated threads on specific TSR and Non-TSR product lines,
Eg,
TSR Birthright - products, scans and prints
TSR Kitsch - products, scans and prints
Flying Buffalo - products, scans and prints
... and so on.
This would mean the Acaeum or one of the linked non-TSR sites could simply lift the info straight off the thread, when expanding or building sub-webs.
Each post could contain a running product list OR the author of each thread could occasionally summarise the information in the thread, so that you don't have to read the whole thing to get its content. Crucially, it would present a more systematic way for ALL Acaeum members to contribute to the construction of a non-TSR Subweb as suggested by grodog
here.
The idea came up earlier when I was brainstorming about how to collect all the great TSR kitsch / oddments info that was spread throughout the forums and to put it in one place.
This is just an idea. So I put it forward for discussion. We are all busy people and this may be one way that we can all occasionally contribute to the strength of this site - or collectively contribute to the construction of the non-TSR subweb suggested above.
