I suppose I can see where you'd feel....a little more secure saying certain things to an audience of all-your-gender, but a few questions arise in my head at the idea of this. For one, what sort of CONTENT would you want to speak of that you wouldn't feel comfortable discussing to everyone? Sex stuff, for instance, can only go so far even in the Life section. And in the end I can only see separate sections being their own versions of "Life": otherwise, what sort of topics would you even want to put in it? Then there's obviously a somewhat larger population of guys than girls, and even if you post "Guys only" or "girls only" in the description the opposite gender is bound to at least look in, if not break the 'rules' and post just to show that they can.
Guys vs Girls competitions can be done outside of this idea, of course. Feel free to try to spread that idea and get others to think of things you could do for such a battle...it could really prove fun. Of course, it'd be hard once again to split people into places that the enemy can't see (there are so many members who have an undefined gender, and I can't really see us making "Boy" or "Girl" usergroups), but it's not too hard to think of other ways to do it. ^^
Well I was thinking it would be like a private forum for whatever gender - like password protected?
Hmmm well examples (I thought of some but I guess I forgot to post them XD)
Like for guys they might want to discuss something like "Dude what do you do about a raging boner at school?"
or "Ass or boobs?" XD
And what guy wants to hear a girl talk about her menstruation cycle? I mean I know I used to have a lot of questions, and I know I'm curious to see if anyone else has the same.... "deal with the red devil" that I do but I'm not going to make a thread about it in life.
XD those are the only two things I can think of (thus far)
**crappiest examples EVER btw**hmmm yeah I'm sure there are more things and (if it goes through) people will think of topics appropriate. Of course mods or admins COULD be more lenient when it comes to sex or sexual issues in the private forums because they will be private and "locked" (least that's what I would hope for)
-There could be something like you can get in after a certain post count or whatever like the dorms so we know only active members will be in, which would kind of make them more active... ugh I worded that terribly but I'm to tired to think of how to acutally say it.
REWORD:
Implementing a required post-count in order to obtain the password into the Gender subforums would help with the activity and survival of the subforums. By only allowing members (of their designated gender) into the forum with a higher post count (up to the mods/admins to decide) would ensure that
only active forum members would be present in the new subforums thus ensuring activity.
*sigh* sounds better? I think so.
Now than, the question has popped into my head:
What if someone changes gender? Well, for the most part we know who's what, but there are some that are in question. What could be done, if those people would wish to join one of the forums (but keep their gender a secret or not publically post a photo of themselves) they could PM or email one of the admins they're gender and a recent photo of themselves in order to obtain the password.
Just an idea to a question I think some might have.
Okie, my dinners ready.
