To apply for your own forum, create a new topic and include the following information:
- Name of the forum
- Description of the forum
- Purpose and goals
- Will you need co-moderators? If so, who would you like?
Member forums must not be covered by existing forums, must follow the global board rules, and must have a topic. No random boards, that's what Off-Topic is for.
Also, for the first time ever, I'm trying out a new system where member forum moderators will actually be given moderator status. This increases the requirements to run a forum of your own, but may also be beneficial in other aspects. Remember that this is an experiment, and may be discontinued at any time for the old way of Sr Members leading the forums. This only applies to the forum's primary leader; co-leaders will remain as Sr Members.
