peeps sub-forum?

what do you think?

I'm not a big fan of polls. I'd rather hear arguments.

No. I think it would sound like an exclusive club to new peeps, they may be hesitant to post in a peeps forum. New peeps keep old peeps on their toes and good behavior for the most part.

I have to agree. I may never have posted on a PEEPS forum. Off Topic is good, let's you test the waters and learn the ropes.

I say no, I agree with the "exclusive" argument by MikeW, seems kinda non-inclusive to me.

Just wondering, why the sudden discussion about this sort of thing lately? Something bothering?

I don't think there needs to be a new forum that would exclude anyone, especially newbies. I was a newbie once . I felt like I knew at least a couple peep-personalities by reading all the reports, disagreements, the warm fuzzies and yes, the arguments. And felt that the waters were safe enough to play in too...

Got to join the 'no' side on this one. The open and freewheeling nature of the existing forums allows lurkers to get comfortable and jump in when they are ready. I am sure they all know what to expect. General forums like Off-Topic encourage new peeplets to take the leap to Peepdom and promote the important idea that all can be Peeps when they are ready.
