:::More people are getting to know each other well on here now, so user talk pages are getting more activity. And we end up getting some conversations spanning multiple pages as well, that's adding to it all. I think it's hard to divert people to the forums when it's so much easier to talk directly to users on the wiki, which is the big issue. The downsides of a vibrant, active community. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 06:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC) | :::More people are getting to know each other well on here now, so user talk pages are getting more activity.

::::Any chance of setting up a forum in a wiki format? I mean, it may seem weird if you could set up a forum in a forum format, but I think it would work for diverting users. We could link accounts from Bulbapedia to this {{tt|forumpedia|obviously a tentative title}} the way we have with the other Bulbawikis, and people familiar with wikicode but not forum code would have a much easier time posting. So it would be easier to get them to make the transition (I know I was resistant to making a forum account at first). | |||
::::There are some obvious, glaring drawbacks, of course. The posts wouldn't be as easily separated or readable (especially if these morons keep ignoring the colons). The big one, though, is that creating yet another wiki would put another huge load on the server. So maybe this is something to think about for the future, after a server upgrade or two. --[[User:Martonimos|<font color="#008000">Martonimos</font>]]<sub>[[User talk:Martonimos|((<font color="#00FF00">Argh</font>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|<font color="#50C878">Blargh</font>))]]</sub> 20:35, 14 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
