[DISC #6] Should there be a GDD Forum?

We have posed this question before to our readers and we thank you all for sharing your comments with us. However, [DISC #5] is no longer valid at this time.
 
As you all know with Girl’s Day’s recent comeback, they have become more popular. This of course is GREAT NEWS!! This is exactly what we’ve worked for and wanted for our girls; we want them to receive even more love in the future. However, because there is more interest from the media and new fans, there are more updates! This includes pictures, videos, etc. We have been trying to keep up to date with everything but in doing this we are overwhelming the blog. There are simply too many updates that the blog is starting to get cluttered. I can only imagine how tough it might be for the readers to keep track as well, since the blog is moving so quickly with all the latest Girl’s Day goodies. We are once again considering making GDD its own forum. Of course we will keep the blog; this has always been our main focus. 
 
Achel and I have discussed this many times in the past and once again we feel that a forum is needed. We realize there are pros and cons. However, we feel that there is more of a necessity now because in a way we can do so much more with a forum. We are looking forward to making Girlsdaydaily more of a community; this is more possible with a forum setup. Where there can be discussions, pairing threads, fanfics, fanart, etc. The main purpose will be to grow closer as Girl’s Day fans and get to know each other better. We also feel that it will be easier to discuss and organize projects; this of course will make projects and giveaway events more successful.
 
We have always had a different perspective on forums and that is why we are a little hesitant. We want the forum to be as successful as the readers have made GDD. However, we will be taking an entirely new approach to forums. If there is a positive response to this and we decide to go ahead with a forum, we will reveal more of our plans and intentions. For now, we just want your thoughts on this. We would appreciate your opinions. We will also be looking for volunteers to help us in this new direction. If you are seriously interested please let us know in your comment that you would like to help. We need passionate and hardworking people; for now we are only looking for people who have experience; so please keep this in mind.
 
Please leave us your thoughts.

  1. Comment: I think that having a forum for GDD is a good idea to begin with.. ^^ and I’m already looking forward to the new approach for the GDD forum instead of the conventional ones that can be found over the net.. ^^

    Volunteer (Yes/No): Yes, do let me know if there is anything that i can help out with be it the smallest, simplest task.. I just want to help & play a part in promoting the girls to the rest of the world! ^^

    Cheers!
    Rhu

  2. Comment:I will support the forum! Hopefully we will get this project on the go! Hwaiting! Since I’m a new fan but we gotta have A right place to put the discussions. The forum is that place!

    volunteer (yes/no): Will try my best to help because I also help other fansites as well.

    :)

  3. Comment: Last time, i’ve said my opinions that i don’t think we should put up a forum. but now i realized, oh yes! i think we need to put up one now, daisies will have a place to hang out. And i think it’ll be more easier when we put up a project and activities :) haha the site won’t be down. it’ll be a lot of work, but for sure many will be willing to help out. :)Staffs~ <3

    Volunteer (Yes/No): WHY OF COURSE~ k k k k

  4. comment: well, I think is a great idea. Since the recent increase populatity of the girls there are new fans and the forum can be a perfect place for the fans to join and interact with each other as well. I think that a “new approach to forums” is a great idea. Since, many of the fan forums require you to have a certain number of “post” or requirements to be able to see certain places. And, I think that takes away from the whole thing, where you go to share and stuff.

    volunteer (yes/no): Yes. I would love to help in any possible way I can.

  5. Comment: i personally love the blog but i myself have noticed the influx of new people on gdd and i think now a forum might be a good choice. Obviously its down to whether Achel n Tammy decide but ill support it either way

    Volunteer (Yes/No): Yes ill always help out in any way i can.

  6. Comment: I think it will be a good idea. There used to be a girl’s day forum if I remember correctly and I was quite active there. But sadly the owner gave up on it and the staff were not dedicated. So I think if there’s going to be a new forum, fans will support (even more now since girl’s day popularity going up) and have to ensure that the staff are true fans.
    Volunteer (Yes/No): Yes. Have experience moderating forum and even setting up my own. I’m pretty good with photoshop too and coding html/css/php is not a problem.
  7. Comment: its a good idea to set up forum…it will be easier to keep track, talk to the other fans and if possible maybe the girls day member might join too..ive seen forum that the group member appear in the forum and talk to fans

    Volunteer (Yes/No): yes i would like to help in anyway i can

  8. Comment: What Sus and Rhu said.

    Volunteer (Yes/No): I’m not really good at good at stuff like codes and photoshop so I don’t think I’ll be of much help. :\ Sorry.

  9. Comment: I love this idea! Forums are a great way for fans to hang out and get the latest news ^^ ♥
    Volunteer (Yes/No): Yes!! I’ve founded a few successful forums, worked as a global mod on a few, I’ve been a moderator on many… I’m very hardworking when it comes to forums! ^^
  10. I also said no to the forum proposition a while ago, but I guess that with their new popularity and new fans, a forum is needed to keep all that into place. Since I’m checking on the blog everyday about 1 or 2 times a day, I guess becoming a moderator for the new forum wouldn’t be that different, because I’m always on the blog anyways :) I’d be glad to help ^^ Pick me? ;)
  11. Comment: I dont mind either way. I keep up with the updates through twitter anyway. But if you make a forum Ill sign up.
    Volunteer (Yes/No): Ive been a moderator before so I know what to look for.
  12. Please leave us your thoughts.
    Comment: I feel as if you should get a forum for GDD because you guys will be even more organized! it will also be an easier way for the girls to visit us :]

    Volunteer (Yes/No): yes :D

  13. comment : If there’s anything I always welcome! Gaiphalsu I could, but … Forum?

    volunteer(yes/no): If there’s anything in Korea always yes!!!!!>.<

  14. Comment: there’s already an international girl’s day forum though; but i love the idea about gdd having a forum. Well i personally suggest that maybe girlsdaydaily and the other girlsday forum could merge? :) it would be awesome!
    Volunteer (Yes/No): yes ^___^ i am a graphic artist on some forums; I’m pretty familiar with photoshop and making graphics also i would like to help girlsdaydaily :)
  15. Comment: I really think GDD should have a forum! I love this site and always come here for my Girl’s Day news. <3 :) GO GO GO GO! Also, when you get the forum up & running the girls can drop by as well. :D

    Volunteer (Yes/No): Not at the moment, but maybe in the future. I'm sorry. T_T I have five years of Photoshop experience & such so yeah. But now… I'm busy with school. :/ I love Girl's Day and GDD a whole bunch though~!
    You can definitely count on me joining the forum, ASAP! ;)

  16. Comment: Well I’m all up for making the blog a better place for the users being one of them after all. :P. With popularity on the increase it makes sense I suppose, get a better sense of community and it makes fan interaction more user friendly on a forum. I’ve always liked the fact that GDD was a blog rather than a fan forum as it made it stand out to me but things grow and evolve and the blog will always remain intact so it sounds good to me. I support the idea!
    Volunteer (Yes): I’ll help in anyway I can and you know where to find me. (Twitter, LOL)
  17. Comment: Having a GDD forum is a great idea . Firstly , the original international forum for GD is already gone so GDD forum can be another forum for us Dai5y . ^^ Also with a forum , we’ll be able to do alot more stuff like write fanfics and stuffs . So yeah , I’m totally rooting for a GDD forum :D

    Volunteer (Yes/No): Definitely Yes ! ^^ I can help out maybe by being a moderator or such . I’ll definitely help in anyway possible (:

  18. Comment: Hi there, my name is Vicky and someone brought this up at the new 5GD forum, which I am one of the admins there. Um, I was wondering if there could be a discussion of a possibility between GDD and the new 5GD forum about merging together? If you’re interested, please let us know. Thanks and if it doesn’t work out in the future, good luck! C:
    Volunteer (Yes/No): Yes, if it’s a possibility.
  19. Comment:Hello,I am Japanese fan♪
    Every day,I come here to find new news of Girl’s day!!
    I like this idea^^
    Forums are needed because they are good for fans♥
    It will increase information exchange.

    Volunteer (Yes/No):Of course,yes^____^
    Because I think that Japanese activity of Girl’s day will increase from now on,
    I can help to translate English or Korean into Japanese (Japanese into English or Korean).
    Also,I will make translation blog or HP for Japanese fans.

  20. Comment: I would love for there to be a forum! It’d be a nice to post my graffics and fanfics (instead of tumblr where it gets kind of lost D:). I love the blog but with the boost in popularity it was getting kind of O_O.

    Volunterr: well…I don’t have any experience so…I guess no?

  21. Comment:I think that it would be a great idea for GDD to make a forum. The other forum for Girls Day is gone and the other on that is out is not as well informed as this on is.
    Volunteer (Yes/No):Yes I am a graphic designer for lots of other forums so if you ever need any help just message me
  22. The idea of a forum sounds interesting!!! I’ll be happy to do anything for GsD! I think it’ll be a great addition to the site. I’m up for anything and everything Girl’s Day! I think its a great way for fans to communicate and for the girls to be updated with what thier fans are doing and discussing as well. The site becomes more personal and less clustered!!! Good luck with your decisiong! GsD always, fighting!
  23. comment:oh this is a great idea.i agree with making gdd forum.also good for the girls! Girl’s Day is getting popular in Japan, too because of the Kirakira slim of Girl’s Day and the music shows(M!ca,Inkigayo..etc)and KPOP is very popular in here recently! You know, we have “Everyday Girl’s Day”, a Japanese fan blog of Girl’s day, so I think it’s good for us and the girls to work together harder=) I want more ppl to work with on “Everyday Girl’s Day Blog”..hahaha^^;;

    volunteer(yers/no):why not!!hhh

  24. I AGREE! IS THIS TAMMY? hahah I knew it, I really wanted to have a great GDD Forum, I really love this blog, if there is a forum still this will also be the main priority for this is the 1st ever thing you made out of simplicity… I am willing to help if you need someone if ever you wanted or you decided to make a GDD Forum, I will totally support it!! Kyaaaaaaa!

    Volunteer (Yes/No): Why not!??? I will truly LOVE TO!

  25. That is a great idea ^^

    volunteer (yes/no) : I would like to help as long as it is not about graphics.

  26. Comment: I been trying to reject the merging, everyone say is better. Haha, I can’t fight with it. Yes, I agree
    Volunteer: yes, I will be here to help. I think some of the admin know me well. Seem we used to work in 5GD together
