Yeah, definetly rather you'd do it right.  And, also yeah, if we can do anything to help you out, fairly sure a bunch of us would be willing to do so however we can.

I'm probably completely useless, but I'm willing to try and help

Wouldn't *that* be a powerful scene?

Same here.  Don't push yourself too hard and make yourself sicker.  *gives Mickey virtual chicken soup*

Ok...two things...taking suggestions for what the board will be known as. Rule #1: No references to specific authors. No "butcher boyz" or such.

Two...this is frustrating. I can't find a free board that's worth anything anymore. Iboard's dead. EZBoard's on crack these days. Bravenet's board sucks.
What I'm looking for is something similiar to this board, with password protection for members to log in to even see anything. The idea is to have two major sections...one to talk about writing, and one for sub-boards for each author member, so they have their own section post stuff where others can comment on it.

Wordpress has been suggested...it's a blog site, so I'm not sure it would work right.

Any ideas?

Uh...no name suggestions right now.  Will come back if I think of anything.  Randomly started looking up Latin phrases for a name and found this one the best out of what I found:

verba volant, scripta manent    "spoken words fly away, written ones remain"

Or maybe not as the title...perhaps as a subscript under the title?



On the board:
a friend of mine hosts two roleplaying message boards (one created by me, one by her) on her website.  You download the stuff from here then upload it to your website.  I haven't figured out how yet but the instructions may be somewhere on the site...or easy to figure out for someone that knows coding and such better than I do.  Board is very similar to this one with a few minor differences.


One of the two boards I mentioned 'cause I dunno if they have anything you can look at to get a glimpse on the website.

Have you ever tried and IF board?  I've managed about two or three myself, mainly for RPs and whatnot, but they are a lot like this and quite useful.  http://www.invisionfree.com  You can create a section that can be run by specific members and you can create different groups.  Personally, I love them.

Thank you! That's exactly the type of thing I was looking for.

(Terion, thanks as well. I was trying to avoid setting up the board on my own like that, due to not wanting to screw up while people are posting their work ;) )

Ah, okay.  Good point on that.  Yay for Aethon pointing out the other board!

Wordsmith sounds both apropos & bland.

I'm thinking of calling the board Cogni. (Latin root for Know)

Because Cogniceres might be a little much ;)
