New Subforum for an MSPAFA?

Hello friends, I'm here to float a suggestion about a new subsubforum.  What would this subforum be?

Well, there is a mspa forum adventure called 'fortuna' and it has a sort of medium sized following, and the thread for suggestions is going a little faster than is preferable.  The author, gimeurcookie, has tried setting up free forums before to organize a place for discussion and fanstuff better, but both times they've been overwhelmed by spambots. 

SO I thought, hey, why not try a subforum on eagletime? That has spambot protection. Plus, it'd act as a sort of test in making that forum more like the old Gangbunch forums (where problem sleuth started and where firman forums were) - branching out to make it wide hub for a bunch of different particular tight-knit groups, who end up coming into contact with each other all melting-pot style. And who knows, if the idea works, or if other authors want to, maybe fan subforums for other biggish established works like superego could sprout up.

The possibilities for where the subforum would go would be:

1. subforum of Forum Adventures
2. subforum of Forum Projects
3. forum under the BAWK BAWK category, next to Hawkspace but not under hawkspace. A forum of its own.
4. subforum of hawkspace. (would require going to the hawkspace rules thread and voting for establishing a subforum inside hawkspace, as per hawk rules)

For this to be a thing: 1> Pinary would have to agree to it, 2> Schazer would have to agree to it and 3> as long as a majority of other people here don't have an objection to it, then we can move forward with it.

Right now, I'm thinking it'd be moderated by the author, gime, whose character I'll vouch for as an easygoing, levelheaded person who I've never seen be angry at anyone. I'd probably throw up a style sheet for it, too.

I asked them about it and their answer was
Quote:Sure, you can ask, the Eagle Time forums seem nice. I wouldn't push it too much though as I wouldn't want to overstay my welcome anyway. Plus it'd be easy to move back to <the mspa talk thread> or just some random free forum.
so if you guys say no there's no pressure; this'd just have some of the advantages I pointed out.


So, let's hear your opinions, suggestions, questions and discussion about this! How do you feel about the possibility of a new subforum for a mspa fan adventure being hosted here?
