Other options include using another forum such as Immersion Unlimited, or creating an in-game website with a forum. Blogs which allow comments can become unwieldy but they have been used in past games. "Push, NV" created a community forum on ________ (it was like Yahoo!Groups but it was run from a Netscape site, I just can't remember where). It quickly became confusing when in-game characters were being told that they are just fictional creations by spoilsports who wouldn't play along.

Let's make something very clear: it's not that I don't want you to post here. It's perfectly alright to post on these forums, regardless if you are running a game or not. However, It's not alright to continue to post in a thread dedicated to a game you have created and are actively a part of behind-the-scenes.

I would agree with Crowfoot and Catherwood -- there are other ways to go about creating and maintaining an in-game message board system. Might I suggest ProBoards?

I'm quite interested! The blog sets up the possibilty of two sides working against each other. That's my kind of game!

I'm hoping that this Black_Awakening fella is a swell game maker but merely unaware of the local etiquette. I'm lookin' on the bright side Razz

I think this will probably play out better on IU if the PM wants to do in game posting, but they are continuing with it anyway as I received a reply from the email:
