This new feature will allow you to have your own full-featured forum inside PEAB that will only be accessible to the users that YOU specify. We’re envisioning that this could be used by EU soc leaders to have a free and easy-to-setup forum for soc matters.

1: It’s free. You just have to be the leader of a moderately sized soc to set this up.
2: It’s easy. Just contact Kaiser and tell him what you want to do.
3: You immediately get a group AND your own forum that is shown on the main forum listing (below where it says “Manifest Destiny”). This forum is only viewable/editable by your members.

There’s a new link on the main forum nav called “Groups/Soc” and this allows you to administrate your own group of users inside the forum. As of March 5th, we only have the Manifest Destiny group active but we are, as of this moment, accepting new groups.

We would like nothing more than to see this feature used a LOT. If you have a soc and don't want the headache/expense of setting up your own forum then LET US HELP YOU.

OOooh.. Nice thanks a lot i'm gonna try to get DF to convert our boards over onto these forums :-P I don't even remember the oddball forums he uses that I never even look at Hopefully he'll like the idea and won't decide to play whack-a-mole with my head instead ^.^

this sounds very sweet. very cool feature to add travis

I like the idea its going to be great i just wish my soc was larger so that we could take advantage of it

is there any minumum on the soc size for getting your own board section?

Hopefully it will attract alot more new traffic to the board once some people start using it as well

At this time there is no minimum number of members.

Alright cool ill get my soc onto it asap hopefully some more new people comming throgh the boards Also how will sweat and post count work with these new soc only boards? will those posts still count to the players total post count or will only publically available posts count towards sweat and post count?

You'll get sweat etc from using your own soc forum just like any public forum.

I actually had not thought of this but it seems to me the fair way to handle this would be to exclude private soc forum posts.

i would agree that posts shouldnt count and maybe a modified sweat gain. it would be easy for some to be very active in a private part of a forum and be considered for the active poster reward offered here.

Is there a chance of seting up forum for my soc (Phoenix)?

Absolutely, just let me know what name you would like for the forum and the description. I can get it set up. Also let me know who you would like to have access to it.
