Is it time for a dedicated "Orville" sub-forum?
- Thread starter E-DUB
- Start date
How about we wait and see if the show lasts for more than a season first? The show doesn't have that large of a fan base, even in this forum.
Besides, based on traffic, a comic books media forum would make far much more sense and that's been resisted for years.

Nah.
Yeah, we can group it with the Firefly sub forum...<--- What? Too soon? 
If it gets a second season, maybe?
Also might help IF THEY SHOWED IT OUTSIDE THE US. Fuck's sake, FOX UK. Get it on-screen.

Being as this is a Star Trek BBS, it's no surprise Discovery got a sub-forum right away, no?
I suggested in QSF that they might at least pin the Orville episode threads for a week to ten days each. But as long as we're loving the show and posting like mad people, the latest epsiode thread should be near the top anyway.
Why the hell not?

That pinning makes a lot more sense...where it's an active show, that is Star Trekky (pun intended), but only has a first season (is the back half even guaranteed yet?). The new stuff can be on top, but easy to search for older threads...
And even though the threads DO seem popular now..will that drop off over time?
I also vote for if a 2nd season is verified
We should definitely wait until we get word of a second season, even then, I don't know. I mean, sure the Orville threads are smoking hot at the moment, but once the season is done the threads will dwindle very quickly. Just look at the Doctor Who forum during the off-season. Outside of major announcements like the new Doctor, there's practically no activity there at all when new episodes aren't airing.
And that's with large, longtime fan base. But at the same time, I fought for years to have a Doctor Who forum created before we finally got one.
I count five Orville threads on page one of this forum section alone. Perhaps subject consolidation into a single thread would help?
Nah, we're doing fine. Thanks. 
Yeah, talking about a dedicated forum is premature.
Hey, has board traffic picked up very much since the Discovery premiere? Wasn't there a big expectation that would happen?

I would say yes. It'll end up with 20 or 25 threads during the active part of the year . I'd say its worth it.
I guess the question I have is, how hard can it be?...to, y'know, add a sub-forum?
And then, if the shows goes away, to remove it?

Didn't they do this for Lost?
Maybe, but if it's still as hot on November 1 as it is today, it might not be a bad idea to jump the gun on a subforum. Especially if it looks like there's a good chance of renewal.
5 or 6 Orville threads on page one of the sci-fi forum is okay today. And it'll be okay tomorrow too. But not for the next 4 months straight. That'd be too much.
Nah, that would make it worse. Some of those threads are big enough already.
