Request for a bridge forum

TCO · January 9, 2003, 16:28

Could we get a contract bridge forum in other games? There are about 8 of us who chat about bridge in other games. Occasionally we have multiple threads. But we also tend to have rather wandering single threads. i would like to disaggregate the discussion more into seperate topics.

I realize that bridge is not a civ game. But it is a game that smart people play...and smart people play civ. Plus it is almost overwhelmingly a computer game now. Plus there is no good bridge forum on other sites. Plus I can drive some traffic to this new forum. (From a link in my profile shown when I play at Pogo or Yahoo.) Plus my username is ApolytonGP and I am expert level on Pogo. No kidding...just ask Rex Little.

If the answer is no...maybe you could let me know how much activity we need to justify a forum.

I know I tease you a lot, but this is a real request, Dan.

If you say no, that is ok. I just want to ask. We will continue to discuss things at "other games".

Denied.

Unless bridge threads start dominating the Other games forum, I doubt you'll get a seperate one.

Inverse Icarus · January 9, 2003, 18:12

so start dominating!

I doubt you'll get one of these, besides, very few people would use it

Couldn't you set up a thread in the OT relating to it, or do you want the postcount?

TCO · January 9, 2003, 18:21

You build it and I'll populate it. Give me a shot! If it doesn't work after a 4 week trial, you can scrub it.

Provost Harrison · January 9, 2003, 18:23

You forgot to offer 'favours' to the admins. It's the only way you'll get anything like that around here GP

I am 100% serious about dragging people over from Pogo and building a community. I have over 20 people on my Pogo friends list. I just think we need a labeled forum to have a chance. They are less likley to come to a thread within a civsite forum than a labeled forum.

You would be better off dragging them over here first.

ACK!

I don't need any comments from tuberski, Skanky, Dr. Spike or Ixnay. Find another thread to spam...no don't reply.

I will try dragging people over if I have to. I just think it would be tough to get people over just for a thread.

DrSpike · January 9, 2003, 20:42

I'm sure with your winning manner and easy charm you'll have no trouble........oh.........wait.

I'm not spamming, I'm telling you that having 20 more people that want a bridge forum is going to increase the chances of getting one.

You, by yourself, don't stand much of a chance. Which is probably a good thing you ungrateful jerk.

EDIT: If you don't want other people posting in your threads to the moderators, maybe you should PM them your idea instead.

ACK!

I don't mind people. I just don't want the latter day Ras's.

Since I don't know what a latter day Ras, isI assume that Rasbellin spams you a lot? Or this forum in general?

ACK!

GP, how about you sweeten the pot- offering MarkG and DanQ the ability to ban you if bridge fails after 2 weeks

... then again, you leave so often, that might actually help your work productivity and be good for you

It would be interesting to see how a bridge forum would work

TCO · January 9, 2003, 23:33

I could offer to stay. but I'm not offering much more...no! Don't even think about it, Mark. I am way to irresponsible.

Whew. That's better.

If GP gets a Bridge forum, I want a Pinochle forum to go with it.

Hi GP.

Your request for a Bridge forum is denied. If you are still interested in pursuing these discussions, start it in the "Other Games" forum.

This thread is closed.
