What do you think about... interforum events?; going forward

So, this year and recently the Golden Sun forums have been trying to reach out to each other and strengthen our sense of fandom community, and make sure there's new blood floating around/doing fun things together. We had the interforum post-bomb in mid-Dec, a mixer at GSAR at the beginning of Jan, and a mixer here last weekend. However, we were thinking of changing it up a bit.

Keeping in mind that we're, on average, much busier than in the past (due to RLs), we were thinking that each forum could put on and host a single thing every month or so, so that whoever has the free time can participate. For example, there might be Cards Against Humanity night, movie streams, board games online, Mafia, creative contests, music club, book club, roleplays, etc.

Does this sound like something people would be interested in? Do you have any feedback or suggestions?

Interforum mafia might be a good way to get some of the old regulars interested again.

uh oh

I think a good place to start would be to make a GS fandom discord, and from there we could organize whatever events as a greater community as opposed to a couple of cells that are all pretty lowkey.

The problem comes from who will have power over the discord but I'm not a mod so idk.

That said, I think nowadays internet culture is shifting more and more away from traditional forums. idk what kind of activity we could all collectively have access to and participate in (aside from what you suggested) but imo the idea of inter-forum mixes is a bit dated. Yes I did say dated, because this is the Internet and a year on the internet is practically a decade in terms of internet culture.

Probably any admin from most forums could also create the Discord server, with any number of mods/whatever roles there are in Discord for the remaining staff. We're all old people now, so "who" is likely irrelevant as long as they are active. Satty's probably one of the best choices, actually.

I think all the suggested ideas are wonderful so far, I've none to add myself.

I think the discord idea is a great one! And I agree that mods from different forums could be over it. It would make it easier to make plans and connect with other forums.

I think events like this should be:

1) Actually announced in advance (considering the topic was posted a day before it started, and mentioned on Discord maybe a day before that).
2) Longer. A weekend is not a long time in internet land, particularly given everyone's lives. A weekend is good to structure events around, but a full week is probably more useful to do a forum event, given the nature of forum posting.

A GS Discord would be neat and useful towards creating a more cohesive community between us. To my knowledge, Discord has no issue with there being multiple people in the highest role, so having someone from each site (or just the major sites, we Council now) as an admin representative would be very possible.

Yeah, a weekend is definitely not enough time.

Yeah, my having a vacation between Mar 8-23rd kinda put a lot of planning stuff on hold for awhile, much less announcing - and even trying to organize things with staff after that wasn't super productive, alas. >.> But yeah, I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time, and I'll pass along the feedback to the other admins.

Interforum Discord is definitely happening, btw! I think some people want to have the next couple of events lined up before we officially launch it.
