Make an Event Announcements forum?

Post by Flyingroc Chung »

In addition to the CDS Events forum, make an Event Announcements forum that is one post per thread only. All events announcements wil be cross-posted betwen the CDS Events forum and the Event Announcements forum.

This will allow us to take the rss feed for the forum, and format it to put in a web page. ( for example: http://flyingroc.org/nburg/events/eventpage.php ). This in turn allows tighter integration betwen the forum, the main CDS website, and perhaps even in-world objects.

This scheme requires the events poster to post on 2 forums, which makes it somewhat clunky, but the RSS feed displays the last post instead of the first. If there was a way to get a feed of first posts, then we don't need two separate forums.

Doesn't it make more sense to have only one events announcements forum and then another forum for discussion/followup of events?

Well, yes, basically I envision the current CDS Events forum to be the events discussion forum (which it already is, somewhat), and the events anouncements one to be the announcements-only forum.
