But can we pleeeeease have a secret girl's forum?

I've seen it done on other male dominated sites and it really helps bolster commradery as well as the community.

Of course, we can still have a moderator, and I find that the discussions are always enjoyable and that we tend to support each other in the face of 'adversity' (Gotta compete with them men!)

 

I highly recommend it.
Please consider my request.


I should mention, in the past example people had to be added to the list by requesting in a thread... of course people could lie, but for the most part it worked out really well and nobody felt violated or anything.

I support most of this, except that it shouldn't be "secret". You can post all you like and males can be prohibited from posting in that thread, but still able to view it. 

What I mean by that is we should be able to know what kind of thoughts women have about gaming, their taste in games and that might help people predict better and understand the other side of the audience that games try to appeal to. I do agree that we should be banned from posting in that forum though, we have a tendency to get out of control.

The only reason I don't think that really works is because then that doesn't add security and just creates drama. It's not like we would be plotting doom and destruction... if it's moderated, it shouldn't be an issue. Besides, women talk about periods, tampons and maxi pads... you really wanna read all that? LOL...

I don't know why it would have to be secret, just exclusive posting rights for the girls. If you aren't plotting against us guys then why hide?

Who plots a rebellion out in the open? That's just silly.

You have a pretty narrow-minded view yourself if you think all men are unconfortable with those talks, I sure would like to know which brand is the cheapest or something. Will become relevant in the future. (Besides, I have a sister.)

You can't just go around parading total secrecy, by all rights we do deserve to know what you gals talk about. Will help the community in general. Division isn't the answer, understanding is. Walling off men or women isn't gonna help.

...Because it helps bolster the women of the community?... if we show it to the rest of the forum, then it's not a separated population. It's just a place to collect. I guess I wouldn't personally care if it's secret or not, but I think that that model worked very well at the other forums I saw... just because it helped people feel secure, and women could talk to each about women things without worry... it's just very helpful. Just trust me on this.
