Hey Tacoers,
I've got a proposal for you guys to consider: what would you guys say to making the Taco a board on the main page? In the past year and a half since the Taco's creation, you've proven to be a unique and evolving area of the forum that at this point probably warrants its own spot on the main page. You're also one of the most active boards on the forum, if not the most active. And in recent months there has been some interest in Taco-related subboards for events and/or archiving, which a move would allow.
The mods wanted to bring the idea to you guys because, well, you'd be the ones affected. XD But the justifications seem strong. So here we turn it to you guys. If this seems like a good idea, let us know. If you'd rather keep it where it's at, chime in too. ^_^ Thanks!

I'm definitely in favor of the idea.  |

I'm in favor of it. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes.

I'm afraid I'm completely neutral on this. Stay or go, either one is fine with me.

Seems like a good idea, and Taco subboards could definitely prove useful. :3
My only question is what about the 'Bloids? Maybe I'm being a bit of a traditionalist, but I kind of consider the Taco and 'Bloids as approximate equals, or at least similar in purpose. XD; So I guess I wonder if making the Taco Cart more prominent would depreciate the 'Bloids. Maybe not, I dunno.

I think this would actually benefit the 'Bloids since it will be on the main page more often as the most recent Splatterboard post. |

Don't mind my ramblings. |

Not to mention the fact that it could lessen any feelings that the Bloids and the Taco are somehow rivals. :B |

I'd just like to know if this would mean we had to change anything. If it's just moving the location, then that's fine with me. If not, I'd like to know if there's something else expected of us before agreeing to it.

I'm not a Tacoer, but I feel it needs to be said - the stature of a board is determined by the community that uses it. The Bloids are fairly dead, whereas the Taco has proven itself to be among the most active places on the forum. It deserves its own space by that merit. That, and the two do serve different purposes, otherwise they wouldn't have split off. The Taco seems to be requiring a lot more threads and the like, and has become somewhat like another version of the guilds, only more complex and certainly more active. ^_^ |

It would take awhile to get used to, but I think it could work. We may want to start thinking in advance about the names/reasons/uses for possible sub-boards and rules and such.
Though I wouldn't mind if it stayed here, either.
Maybe we should set up a poll to get a better idea of how many are for/against/neutral about this? Also, whether they're leaning strongly for or somewhat in that direction.

I don't particularly care either way, but it would be an interesting change. I'd be cool with that, I guess.
We probably wouldn't need too many sub-boards unless the need arises. All the main threads appear within the actual board, and unless we want to move the past Tacos and Mini-Arc events into some sort of "archive" sub-board, we probably won't need to make very many of them.
Exception being in the chance that we do something similar to Hunter's large RP event again- I know a few people might have been expressing interest in doing another event like that? Something like that would probably merit its own sub-board, but other than that I can't think of anything else.
