AO3 needs forums

Jul 13, 2014 12:07

It drives me nuts that they don't have them. They say that coding and moderation teams are why they don't have them, but I'm not really sure I buy into that. Coding, sure. AO3's coding is kind of a mess. But if they attached the forums to collections and let comments be flagged for inappropriateness, there wouldn't be much moderation to be had. FFN has forums, and it doesn't explode.

But man, AO3 could be the perfect fandom place if it just had an area for proper discussion.

Does anyone know how to do this sort of coding? I'm seriously about to start a campaign to get forums on AO3.

fandom is crazies
