Alright, alright, I know that simply by the title alone, this sounds like advertisement, but bare with me for just a moment, or else I'll kick your face in. I have an idea that's going to decrease the amount of four-year-olds on our master server, but at the same time, add an alternative place to where they can still continue their hangouts and roleplay servers.

Here's my plan. Me and some other people advertise this website to noobs, saying that they can come here without being bothered by "master server rules broken, ima report you". A guest forum will be created for hangouts and the whatnot so people can get some of their servers going without the need for a master server. If there's enough people willing to go to the forum, then it will be active, and therefore successful. The noobs'll also get their own general discussion forums so they don't get bored with the whole thing. The boards will be loosely moderated, with no regards to grammar, but still making sure there are no dickwads lurking about.
If you want to stick around the forum but not the morons, don't stress: registered users that can prove they have more than a few braincells will be allowed to post in some hidden forums; a more secluded netplay forum and smarter versions of the previously mentioned discussion forums. Staff will get their own hidden forum too, obviously. This means there will still be some forum hierarchy going on, but there will be no conflict between roleplayers and older groups, because they won't be disrupting each other's activities or being a retard in the other half of the community's space. Now, to explain why this is oddly placed in this forum....
I need help. More specifically, I need suggestions on how to go about this forum, constructive criticism and advice on the flaws of this plan, and the involvement of others to make this thing work. I need to grab the hangout people's attention in order to make this idea work, and with that, I would also appreciate some help. If you don't think this is a good idea, tell me why and share what you think will help the community. In any case, I know I can't execute this forum properly without some feedback, so if nothing else, discuss your thoughts on this idea here.
On a slightly related note, I can't seem to add a poll with four options. What the hell?
