I don't necessarily want to add another forum, but I'd like to see a forum discussion for just the 8" lines or just the 12" lines. This could be part of the rotating forum that we have (Buck Rogers, Dr. Who, etc). It would be nice for there to just be discussion about the Knights line, or the Western Heroes line, or the ever unpopular WGSH line.

If swap meet is going bye bye, then will it be acceptable for folks to post wnats and want to get rid offs in the marketplace?You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I think we should include another toy section forum,some of you might collect only megos,but the majority of us collect other toys,and it would be cool to talk or trade once in a while,Just my opinion but I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me"Time to nut up or shut up" -Tallahassee

I just remembered something.......
A while ago, wasn't the Museum toying around with creating a "girlie forum" to pull in more ladies ?
Mego celebs, Dinah, and non Mego nostagic toys geared toward girls.
I think I remember that idea being bandied around last year.Comment

I liked the idea of the rotating forum (Dr Who) but has it now outstayed its welcome? How about making it into a TV Talk Forum covering the same sort of stuff...Who, Trek, anything nostalgic, anything that Mego had a licence for......Just open it up more to widen the appeal."I should say I`m very much cleverer than any of the people who put me here. As a matter of fact, I could leave any time I wanted. It`s only a doll`s house after all. Anyway, I don`t mind. I like dolls" - The Mad Hatter, Arkham Asylum.Comment

I like the idea of Dr. Who becoming a TV Talk forum.--

I kind of like leaving the Doctor Who forum alone.
One thing I noticed, we have A LOT of guests reading it throughout the day.
We have about 10-ish active members and about 10 more- occasional posters.
We even have a member who joined (a few months ago) who ACTUALLY was a semi regular background actor on the original Classic Doctor Who series.
He played in some Tom Baker and Peter Davison stories.
He dont have any interest in toys at all.
He joined just for the DW forum
I thought that was pretty neat
But, going back to the guest thing......
We do have a lot more guest hits than you'd imagine.
I think we should leave it alone.
It's like 2 years old already.
It's a Museum stapleComment

I don't think we need more forums than we already have, but I think changing Swapmeet into a Vintage forum was a good idea. Swapmeet by itself was pretty quiet after all.
I also think the Packaging forum could either be changed into something else or just deleted altogether. Most threads there could either belong in Customs or Mego Fact after all.

I like the idea of a Mego Licensed Line Discussion forum. For me, Dr Who or even Sci-Fi is too specialized. I think it would be a fun way to discuss the shows that inspired the toys, and possibly even serve as a way to expand the Museum's information. I'd like discussing the people behind the toys, and wouldn't mind the museum having more information about the actors who portrayed them. Sort of a Wiki type expansion of information beyond what we have now. Even finding good links to other websites about the properties and people could be interesting.
We could have theme weeks where we discuss Starsky and Hutch or CHiPs, and even POTA / TREK / WGSH months, similar to what Brian did when he updated the galleries.
Regular discussions about the shows (like what goes on with Dr Who now) could still be encouraged.
PS - Mike, check your math, the Dr Who forum will be celebrating its 1st year in existence on Friday, May 11th. The Black Hole forum was created on April Fool's Day last year, and morphed into Dr Who a few weeks later.

PS - Expanding our knowledge of other Mego toys wouldn't be a terrible thing, although I fear the Cher crowd. They might run us off in a matter of days. The real problem would be obtaining the subject matter experts that could answer all the questions that we would inevitably get by encouraging discussion of things most of us thankfully know little about.
