Browns Forum?

[Soar]

If the Browns forum happens and there were potential writing positions, it would be cool if there was an advertisement and a clear way to apply. I'd certainly be interested.

Regular content from some of the posters on here would crush most local coverage. I like what Saor is proposing.

Yes please, I'd love a forum in the mold of RCF but dealing with the Browns. I'd be in to donate a decent amount if we could get orange or brown names for the "initial wave" of RBF donators.

As I like my pink name, that would be pretty badass as well. The "original" people, if you will.

And I agree, if b00b is a mod we need at least 5 others to counter all of his post deleting.

Any Browns fan: "Holy shit, what a touchdown throw! Manziel means business!"

*deleted*

b00b: "He threw it off-balanced. Fucking scrub. Swan fucker."

Not my style to delete posts, I'm a big believer making sure those posts stay visible so you can see how right I am when I bump them in three years. Right around the time when Manziel is riding his inflatable swan as a member of the Toronto Argonauts.

Here's the mod we'll be using to make both sites function seamlessly if anyone wants to get a technical look.

Features Overview - http://xenforo.com/community/resources/xencentral-multisite-system.2278/

Options page tabbed interface

Cross-site login. Even if boards are running under completely different domains and do not share cookies, it is possible to synchronize login/logout between all configured sites/domains. This feature required MCrypt PHP extension to be installed.

Site-specific search. If enabled search results will contain threads only from nodes available for current domain.

Site name in search results. If enabled, and if search results contain threads not available under current domain, the name of domain of the thread/post will be shown in search results. For such nodes/threads/posts automatic 301 redirect happens and correct site is opened.

Set basic options for each site - site title, URL, description. URL is used to detect active site.

Set default style for the site, and option to force it (so the site can not be used with any other style).

Me and Rapp as dueling mods?

Between that action and Manziel, we're going to need a bigger site.

It could actually workout quite well... All potential angles covered, which would be aired in a more private setting, rather than clouding the board via bickering (or whatever else it may be called). Content could, ultimately, be more completely thought out.

When you say connected what do you actually mean? Will I be able to click on cavs general discussion from realbrownsfans.com?

My concern is this splintering the community to a degree. I like having only one page to go to to have (mostly) intelligent discussions on all Cleveland teams.

Why not just register realclevelandfans and have realcavsfans realbrownsfans and realtribefans all link to the same page?

I'm thinking EAYOR would be the only part of RCF and RBF that would be connected. Easier for the staff that way.

So the OSU section, other topics under "RCF interactions" won't be connected? They will only be available on RCF?

I think it'd be nice if everything non-Cavs/Browns related was connected between the 2 sites, if possible.

Having an OSU sub-forum on the Browns site wouldn't be a terrible idea.

If it had to be on only one site, the Browns one would make the most sense.

Definitely this.

There is something to be said for having three separate brands.

Yes, there will be tabs between both websites so you can browse each forum as seamlessly as possible.

Sounds good. Would Tapatalk be able to pull from all the sites also or would we need to open each individually?
