Hey fishing weirdo goons. Some people over in what used to be Take A Hike The Take A Hike subforum is currently kind of dead so we’re doing what amounts to a relaunch. It was in DIY which is kind of bizarre. It’s basically getting turned back into an RSF for a bit and I’m going to do a bunch of drumming up attention for it. The basic idea behind the new forum is going to be outdoors stuff. Hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, all that kind of good stuff. Here's the moved forum, bumped to be top level for the time being like all RSFs are. I suspect it will find a new home besides DIY in the future, since it was always kind of a weird fit as a sub there. The new name of the forum is The Great Outdoors. Anyways forums live or die by having specialist, niche threads. A lot of other subs have outdoors-y threads that are general purpose subject chat things which is good and fine. We don’t need to fill the forum with ten different camping/chat threads with different crews. TFR can have a video game thread even though Games is a forum, for example, because a general chat thread for gun nerds to talk about what they're playing today can't replicate the dozens upon dozens of unique threads that delve much deeper into specific subjects that a dedicated Games forum has. So, we are going to need some threads on the sort of niche outdoorsy poo poo that an actually goony outdoors forum would talk about. So if any of you ever wanted to have an OP of a thread about what hiking boots are good or how to make your own fishing lures or UrbEx or what the gently caress ever here’s your chance. I've already started what amounts to a soft launch of the reinvigorated forum. It's now a top level forum and we'll see where it goes from there. We've press ganged a couple of current mods into keeping an eye on it and, in true RSF fashion, if it takes off again we'll pull some people as mods from within that community. As an aside, if this thread thinks that it would be a better fit over there I'm open to talking about that. I don't want to force moves on threads that are happy where they are, but I do think that some of the more specifically outdoors threads might be a better fit over there. Of course if this rebooted forum doesn't take off the threads will be moved back to their original homes before it's shuttered.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:This is a good idea, thank you for putting good ideas into action. Also lol at you calling anybody with a hobby a weirdo. You post on Something Awful? I'm pretty sure by definition that makes you a weirdo.

I have zero illusions about not being a giant weirdo too.
