I agree with this idea. While some people can't find their way into the forums, the news only states BIG news, and a forum announcements would be nice. Definitely not a top priority right now, but I believe this would be quite handy. Maybe having a link under the big news on the home page saying 'Other News' with a link to the announcements forum would help out even more.
I see that some threads are made on here my mods announcing something and I find that a bit strange since this is the Support and Suggestions section.
There is a thread on the first page right now that congratulates Zophia as the a new mod. I can see that Carlie tried to add some symbols to gain attention...
I believe whenever new armatars come out they are posted in this section as well?
So, you want another forum specifically for Announcements only? How frequent is it that we get news? If we do make a forum for this, wouldn't members believe that it would be regular, every-day news that they could post on for their free will? And what would become of the news updates on the home page? Why would we need it anymore if there is going to be an Announcements forum?
Well yeah this MIGHT be good, but will there be need for replys from members?
Only replys are going to be "Great thanks!" or "Cool" maybe they should be stickied and locked?
Almost every forum has this. Yous simply lock the threads and make users of mod level be able to post. The threads are only for reading.

Lets be clear by "forum" we mean a section. Like "Support or Suggestions" and "The Tavern". We get news quite frequently actually. New armatars, moderators, contests, and perhaps the sponsor advertisements that are put on the "Site News" (which is not noticed much).
Its not meant to be active though. Even if we managed to post only a few threads in a month, it would be useful.
Drace, the Tavern and the S&S IS a forum! The Forge and the Courtyard are called boards. Anywhoo... What about regular members? Are they going to be allowed to post threads there too? Or are there going to be strict restrictions to only post replies? That's what I hope would happen. I wouldn't want to see backyard stories in the AG announcements forum.
