*gets fantastical gleam in her eye*
What if...
A new forum where begun, just like there's a forum for ffIV, and there's one for chrono cross... you get my point. A 'New Member Forum', where newer members can go and talk to newer members (and hence make new friends who are in the same situation), ask questions, get advice and so forth about eoff, and the o'le veterans can hop on over and lovingly guide the n00b's to dignified conversation and outright sillyness. Hmmm? I belonged once to an online rpg which had a chat that was split into three areas, the commons, the tavern, and the king's court. As a member, you could only access the commons until you had been a member for so long (a month, I believe), and you gained access to the other chats as you went on. There were a few devoted veterans who hung out in the commons often, to guide and assist the n00b's. I know it really helped me out, and when I later went on to the tavern, I really fit right in. T'was cool. I'm not insinuating that we should restrict n00b's access to the forums (heck, I'm quite the n00b myself), but having a place of peers with a couple people who've been here a while to push you in the right direction can be really helpful.
Damn, I'm long winded.
