Subject: Why no Battlegroup forums?
   How am I supposed to talk smack if I don't have the proper place to do it?

   This is still something that is in discussion. We don't want to create more boards that need moderation until we are sure that we can give them the attention they need and that the boards are something that we feel are beneficial to the community. We'd like to also wait for the new forum structure to be put in place and to see how things go from there.

Also, talking 'smack' isn't something we necessarily want to encourage. It's exactly that sort of thing that would need heavily moderated since some people tend to go a bit overboard at times.

Q u o t e:
...This is a war and we're killing people. Of course talking smack should be encouraged. Especially intelligent smack.


There's the rub isn't it? Intelligent smack talk (ie the fun type) vs the more disruptive smack talk that gets people moderated and banned.

I'd suggest using the PvP forum for now and calling out the BG Group you are with in your subject heading (as was suggested in this thread). It's there for use and I'm sure it could handle the traffic.
