Board Thread:NF Noosphere/@comment-2089817-20150125044813

Alright guys, so I've decided to continue moving forward in my reform plans for NF. Well, dunno if you can call it a "reform" really, but well... Yeah, anyways.

The first step was to establish the Quality Committee and work with them in trying to start improving the quality of content on the site. In the pursuit of that goal, a reform of the MoS is to be expected, so be sure to look out for it.

With this now in successful process, at least for the most part, it is time to begin the second phase of my reform plan for NF.

Welcome... to the NF Noosphere.

I've come to realize, prior to my request to rejoin the administration, that a lot of times on the site, we all have ideas. And a lot of times, those ideas go unused and wasted because we don't know how to apply them. Furthermore, to the opposite extreme, there are many of us that want to do something and create something, but we've hit a rather annoying writer's block and haven't a clue as to what to do. And because of this writer's block, we tend to crank out articles and other stuff that we end up being really disappointed with at some point. The fact is, every user on this site, even the ones who tend to create articles from time to time that tend to make me, and many others, roll their eyes in annoyance at, has the capability to make amazing content. You all have the intelligence and ability to do it, but sometimes, we all tend to make stuff that's rather silly.

A thought then occurred to me as I put together plans to help the site. We may have the chat and the message walls, but the truth of the matter is, we never really have a place to just cut the nonsense and discuss things seriously. The chat and message walls are mucked up with hilarity and nonsense, and while that is considered a good thing (and I think it is good for us to have the chat, a place where we can cool down), we also need to have a place that is 100% devoted to serious discussion.

So that is what this board will be: threads devoted to serious discussion about ideas.

Each thread on this board will be opened with the intent of asking a question or bringing up a concept that you want people to discuss.

Whenever you want to start a discussion about something - absolutely anything in regards to Naruto or NF itself - just start a new thread on this board.

Now then, when I say questions, I am referring to questions that can be about:
 * Concepts from the canon that you either don't understand much or want to hear second opinions on.
 * Possible creations you want to make but you're not sure if it'll be a good idea.
 * Creations you wanna make but you don't know how to go about it.
 * Reviews and opinions on characters, techniques, roleplays, or other articles that you've written already.

And so on. These are just a couple of examples, but there are way more possibilities. I want this to be a board where you can discuss anything you want to hear other people's opinions on, so long as it is related to Naruto and NF itself.

Again, while I will tolerate some joking around in your comments and stuff, since we're all chill here on NF, I will delete posts that are absolutely ridiculous or silly. Take this seriously guys, this board can become a very good thing. I want this to succeed as a means of making it possible to discuss things seriously with everybody and properly explore new ideas and viewpoints, while making it possible for everybody on the site to look upon this board and all the threads, and if they ever have writer's block, they can hopefully snap out of it with this board's help.

Likewise, I will be posting threads every now and again on this board myself, posing questions or discussion topics in order to stimulate your minds a little, and I expect the members of the Quality Committee as well as the other Admins to do so as well.

So, without further adieu, I declare this board officially open!
