A simple idea I know, but I can't find anything like it elsewhere on H2g2

Nice idea, but Peer Review isn't the place for it.

Not sure where you launch a new forum. Will make enquiries.

Thanks! Go get 'em!

I've had the first reply from the Aceforum:


Looks like the sort of thing he should start by advertising in his
name... "feeling down? Visit A1964450!!!"

Does that mean inserting the link in my H2g2 name? If so, how?

Click on the button marked 'preferences' and just type it into the box for your nickname

But then won't people wanting to check out my personal space be sent to the entry?

They could do either, or both!

I've had a couple more suggestions to pass on to you, Marvin.

'He could write a short article about it for <./>thepost</.> - or put a link to it in the classified ads section in <./>thepost/.>'

and:

Don't discount the Post announcements section''

There you are, three suggestions for you.

Jimster loved the idea too.

adding it to the end of your name via preferences won't chank the link to your PS, if people click on it then they will still get to your own page, but by putting the A number in the name that people who are noisy will manually change the url to see the A page! Alot of people do it.

But i agree with the others, that writing something for the post and talking nicely to the post team will be the way to go

Shazz said she'd mention it on the club & announcement pages.

Sure did. Peer Review's the wrong place for this, so just pop it out again by clicking the remove link on the Peer Review page. But that aside, I really like the idea behind this forum. Motivate and inspire.

All the best!
