Boosterrific Additions

Last week, I asked you, the Boosterrific.com readers, what you would like to see in future Boosterrific updates. Among your responses was this:

How about adding a Board to the page? Right now discussions are limited to the comments sections (and to a lesser degree to fan reviews on the specific issues). -- Morgenstern, Dec. 30, 2010.

To this point, I had specifically resisted adding a forum to this site. I had figured that other comic-related sites (such as DCboards.warnerbros.com) had forums that would fill the needs of those of you who wanted to discuss Booster Gold, his comics and adventures. An empty forum is a sad, sad thing, and I had reasoned that wasn't enough surplus demand for a Booster Gold-centric forum. Besides, who wants to register with a website about a niche comic book character in order to have their opinion heard?

However, the blog portion of this site turns 1 year old later this month. Despite my initial concerns that there would not be enough Booster Gold-related content to fill a daily blog, so far so good. Content hasn't been a problem, and you readers have been very generous and responsive in contributing your time and comments.

So what do you, the Boosterrific.com visitors, think of this suggestion? If any of you think that a Boosterrific.com forum would be a useful or fun addition to the site, speak up. You know that as a capitalist, I'm always interested in responding to market demand.

I understand your concerns, I know that I usually don't get into forums that are just setting up. Of course those are ones I'm partly interested in. I think I visit this site pretty frequently to see what the latest news is. There have been comments that I'd like to expand on and I'm sure there are subjects we all could debate on. So yes, I'd love to have a forum although I do see the problems that could arise. I'm not sure about Booster fans but in general comic fans are a spirited bunch.

There are times where I would like to be able to extend a discussion on one of the blog comments. There are times I would like to hear more about fans views of a given issue. However, I find the DC forums to be lackluster and full of spoilers. I also find that I often don't have too much to say. I would need less of an "any thing goes" full out forum, and more of an opportunity for limited and controlled extended discussion.

I'd love to see a Booster Gold forum. I'm always up for discussing BG. Those DC boards are often filled with useless "Write the (blank) story in 3 words" topics, and the BG forum is no stranger to this nonsense either. The people who come to this site are very dedicated Boosterheads, and I feel the discussions would be well thought and much more enjoyable to view.

I'd post in a Booster forum, it'd be nice to be on a more focused forum with few if any trolls

This site has become one of my personal I have to check this daily sites, so I would definitely post in a Boostercentric forum. That would be Boosterrific!! Okay, so I'm a geek, I think its safe to say everyone who checks this site out regularly is the next level of amazing from 'normal geek' status.

Personally, and this is just me, I'd do two forums: One for Booster, one for pretty much anything else (movies, music, books, politics, sports, so on and so forth). I am a member of Dansjp3page, a Jurassic Park Fan forum. We almost never talk about Jurassic Park. The open forum has become a large community dedicated to free exchange. It gets lively, interesting and fun. And it helps grow a sense of family.<br />That's just me, personally.

I have to say that I am surprised that the response in favor has been so overwhelming. This certainly warrants more investigation on my part. Thank you all for your feedback.

Would it be redundant to say that I support the idea?
