I’m currently attending my second semster at my community college, and for the short time I’ve been here it’s been my opinion that people just aren’t socializing enough. I grew up watching shows where the college campus was a place for a game of frisbee, or for fooling around, so I was rather let down to find that my campus just has a few people gabbing away on their cell phone, and hurrying to their next class. So I decided to make a forum at ezboard for students to meet up and talk, and maybe get together in real life. I could even add an additional board for people to suggest classes, and warn people of professors. Why, I could even arrange for a game of frisbee.

And why not?

I belong to an online gaming clan, and in the last 2 years, we’ve grown close enough to pitch in and buy mics for each other when a member’s cheapass unreliable Logitech mic ceases to work, and can’t afford a new on. This December, we’re planning a get together for about 5 members. If a community can build itself out of scrath and grow together, surely I can get something going with my school.

The only thing holding me back is that I have no idea what to call the board. The name of the school is Brevard Community College, andf the only name I can come up with is BCC Underground, which is too retro and carrys a lame “too cool for school” vibe. Any ideas?

If I can get past that little probelm, I can make the board in half an hour, write the rules in perhaps half the time, and spend a little while printing out flyers and hanging them up at the bulliten boards at school.

Has anyone ever tried simething similiar? Any tips?
