[Withdrawn] Looking for players subforum proposal

[Avalanche]

I am proposing an entirely new subforum for members to post OORP forum threads which states when and where they will be in-game.

Mock examples of possible threads inside the subforum:

"Smuggling run soon" - https://imgur.com/A1sB1Hu

"21:00 GMT Bering LN vs" - https://imgur.com/u25rjyh

If a new subforum is not possible then my secondary proposal would be to allow the "Looking for Group" subforum threads to allow replies and rename it to "Looking for Players" with a new subforum description outlining how it's a subforum for both searching for factions to join and when you are jumping in game and who wants to interact.


Q: Why have a subforum when people can do this on Discord?

• Discord does not have all members.
• Messages get lost in conversations.
• It would be fun to see a forum member you know/like/admire post in this subforum and then be able to catch them in-game and RP with them for likely the first time.
• It is useful to put more activity related content on the forums for forum lurkers/visitors to see.

Q: Why would I want to advertise where I am or what I am doing in-game?

• Server is no longer 200/200. Sometimes in order to meet players we need to let other members know out of game. You may find no use for this subforum, doesn't mean others won't too.

Q: Isn't this just a copy of our event subforum?

• No, the event subforum runs large events which are in the far future and require registration. This new subforum is for instant messages to increase the chances people find you in-game.

Q: We don't have room for another subforum

• Move "Discovery Launcher" which gets less activity than any other subforum it seems within "Help & Support". Demo. This makes space for this proposed subforum.
