Oh please for the love of god let's make a food forum! Ever since I joined I was wondering about this. I see food discussion all over the place here so there's no doubt we all LOVE food so why not make a forum? There's so many possibilities! We can share recipes, post pictures of our creations, talk about new, weird foods... It would be super fun! I'd really love to see it. :)

Probably a bad idea, but what about a General News forum? Not all news is really suited for the Round Table, but could still be interesting to discuss...maybe. News is a daily, worldly thing, and stories from different parts of the globe you might miss because they're not about murder, poverty, or politics (and thus don't make headlines) might be fun to read about :3

...or not. idk.

The pink is coming off for this one time only.

I'd love to see a forum to discuss merchandise. So, Merchandise Discussion. It doesn't HAVE to be Pokemon, either, but that would be great, too. We don't have one, and I really think it'd be nice if we ran a trial for this, you know?

Dusk February 23rd, 2016 11:55 PM

I think this existed at some point before I joined PC, but I really want an offshoot of Video Games that focuses on organizing sessions of multiplayer games. Maybe it won't work but... I just really want to try playing various games with the people of PC again... Heck, I don't even know when the last time the Animal Crossing Fan Club had an in-game get-together.

Sun February 24th, 2016 12:27 AM

Bring back Pokemon Club and Club, merge it as one section. While I really really really want it, I don't think it's possible due to the low usage...

I'm not sure if sports and fitness work here, if it works it doesn't hurt to have a section for our athletic friends, right? (:

I second Noa's suggestion. It would be nice if we learn some neat cooking skills, that's a survival skill of sort too. :P

While we have the Fan Fiction and Writing section, it would be great if there's a sub-forum that is dedicated to book/magazine, where we can recommend and share our thoughts about the cool stuff we read. I'm sure Marcin will love this.

And last but never least FAASHHIIOON. Style never goes out of fashion; Style should never goes out of PC as well. ;) It can be a section that is dedicated to both fashion and home-decorating and even architecture. (:

Food, Fashion and Home Decor can be merge as Lifestyle from the very beginning for testing the water?

EDIT: A Wildlife and Nature section that is dedicated to the land, animalia and plantae would be cool. But I don't see people in PC getting into this, but hey feel free to prove me wrong! (:

Logan February 24th, 2016 12:49 AM

I second the multiplayer game organising section. I'm sure the section existed before but Video Games as a forum is wayyyy more active these days.

Electricbluewolf February 24th, 2016 1:53 AM

I second a Merchandise thread-I love collecting everything Pokemon, and other gaming merchandise to, have loads of contacts and have written a few guides on spotting fakes etc. I don't know (besides the facebook groups) any active merch part of any forum.

gimmepie February 24th, 2016 1:59 AM

I'm just gonna be that person and propose an "Artistic Media" thread for the discussion and showcasing of things such as music (note this is different from discussion of music as entertainment), videos and the like.

I want to end the debate once and for all.

bobandbill February 24th, 2016 3:47 AM

Seriously going to pitch a Space forum or something along those lines. I have some bias given what I'm doing at uni rn, but space is a pretty dang interesting subject. Helps that a) there's so darn much we don't yet understand about it, and b) there's a lot of pretty stuff to look at from space. =)

As such, content would be actually not too hard to come up with and maintain imo. For example: for those who saw the log shared by Klippy and don't know what APOD is, meet Astronomy Picture Of the Day. We could set up a bot or somesuch to make a thread for each daily entry to view the cool picture and discuss what it's about - that in itself would be neat.

Then there's the media side of it. Discussions on stuff like Star Wars/Star Treak, the game Starbound (which I don't know much about tbh but I know of it and there's other games around too), etc.

Idk if we'll be trialing these forums as subsections tbh - not saying it can't but I don't think this was something we had considered. Mind you, you can already discuss books and etc among other writing topics within the Writer's Lounge subsection that's already there. Not that one can't suggest such a forum! Just that in the meantime you should totally make such topics if that interests you. =)

Yes this is the best idea! We could call it The Kitchen :)

Sanguine February 24th, 2016 7:56 AM

I second Sun's idea for a Lifestyle section that incorporates food, fashion, health etc. - sounds like it'd be pretty brilliant and yesss

hnnng food

Sopheria February 24th, 2016 8:22 AM

I love Noa's cooking forum idea and Lisia's multiplayer gaming idea!

How about a travel forum? It could be a place to discuss various parts of the world, we could talk about nice places to travel to and sights to see there, maybe we could even have a stickied thread for people to share photos ^^

Mana February 24th, 2016 11:20 AM

^ Travel/Culture forum sounds wicked fun :). And educational. And helpful. I could get behind a food forum too haha.

Is a Digimon forum out of the question?

test_account February 24th, 2016 12:00 PM

lets talk about testing things..

Rukario February 24th, 2016 12:05 PM

mmmm food and cooking would be fun (and yummy too)

Bur I suppose a "lifestyles" forum would cover this and other related things of interest.


also..


SPACE! S. P. A. C. E.

I'm in space.. space.

I think more news is suited for the Round Table than appears. There hasn't been many news threads in the Round Table lately and I've wondered what was the cause of that. What kind of news are you thinking about?

I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but wouldn't there be a lot of overlap between a Lifestyles forum and The Treehouse as it is?

Lycanthropy February 24th, 2016 12:45 PM

I'd totally be in for a travel forum, with people from all over the world I can imagine it being tons of fun!

Another thing I'd really like to see is a tabletop gaming forum, but I'm not sure if there's enough demand for it.

Skip Class February 24th, 2016 1:02 PM

Lifestyle forum +1 ! Just give me a place to discuss my love of food with other people please.

Meganium February 24th, 2016 1:16 PM

Can we please have a Sports forum/subforum? We seriously need one.

I've actually thought on that direction before posting that suggestion. -nods-
But I disagree, because having a Lifestyle forum is more focused on that aspect; The Treehouse is more more free flow than any forums, not focused on a particular subject. (:

Put in on this way, the contents of Entertainment & Hobbies section actually fits in The Treehouse! But they still have their own sections, right? ;)

So this suggests that if there came to be a Lifestyle section, then The Treehouse would be that "Chit Chat" forum more than ever?

Yes and I can see you are against of it.

Seriously though, I'm cool whether you are against or supportive. We can't just please everyone, haha. :P

Absolutely not. I always thought "Chit Chat and Polls" as well as "General Chat" were names that were indicative of the contents within the section. If a Lifestyle section becomes a thing, then the old names of The Treehouse would be more fitting than ever.
