Now that Emma has resurfaced and told us her wish to for this place to close down. Lahana Forums Can no longer claim to be the offical forum of Emma Lahana. But I don't want to close down this forum entirely. Which leads us to our options.

We can continue on as an unofficial Emma Fan board with no affilation to Emma Lahana.

We can rebrand the board to some kind of off topic type of board, to keep the community together. Basically we would get a new skin and drop all the emma forums in this senario ( with all the off topic forums remaining).

This board could be merged into my current PR forum. Which is run even looser than I run this place. But there isn't much activity at that forum so you guys wouldn't be too displaced.

Lastly I could shut this board down. But we have a nice community so I think we can continue on in some shape or form.I want to here what all you guys think since this is your forum.

Well to me the best sounding one is the unofficial Emma fan board thing sounds best to me.

But do what ever you think is for the best.

Well, you already know where I stand on this. My vote either goes to:

We can rebrand the board to some kind of off topic type of board, to keep the community together. Basically we would get a new skin and drop all the emma forums in this senario ( with all the off topic forums remaining).

or....

We can continue on as an unofficial Emma Fan board with no affilation to Emma Lahana.

As long as we keep the community together. :) This place is molding well...I just wish Emma would have waited to see that. haha Let's keep this place up! 8)

i like the unofficial forum best. i still want an emma forum though.


If worst comes to worst PRX, if you no longer want to run it, we can move the forum to my host!

I think we accepted that a long time ago.(after all, she's busy)...I like this community, and after returning here many times, I'm determined to stick to this place. Emma's what got us together...Maybe we should keep one board for that, and replace the others with different things...although if we're not to be emma related...what should our board be for?

I agree with you, we have been without Emma for a long time. Emma understandably wants a forum of her own that she can control. I compleltly support her decsion.

We could change this board into a a PR Board. I have a power rangers website and gallery, Power Rangers Online and Ranger Gallery. I also have a PR Forum. I could have this board moved onto PRO's account and change the skin. My current PR Forum is an invisionfree so I would close that one down and point my members there to this forum's new location, making it a merger. My PR forum is only really active in its RPG section right now. This idea is pretty tempting since I think this could create a powerful hub. Of course this is assuming that most of the people here watch pr. Anyway its just an idea.

I understand if most of you want this to continue as an unoffical fan forum for Emma. Since this is why most of you are here. Of course once Emma opens the forum she claims to be opening you will be able to post there as well.

Btw, sorry if I deleted some of your posts here. I was deleting some unneeded spam and may have accidently deleted a few good posts.

Personally, I wouldn't like to be merged.

Personally, I wouldn't like to be merged.

The actual forum would move and the current domain would redirect to the new location. But all the posts would still bere here. There would be a new skin and banner of course. My invisionfree forum would be closed and the members there would be directed here.

All the Emma Forums would be closed. There would be a PR General Discussion forum, a Creativity forum, Off Topic Forum, Site Comments Forum, and RPG forum.

If we continue as we are, (as an unoffical Emma forum) the Diary and FAQ forums would be deleted and I would make it clear that this place was unoffical.

Lets stay as the unoffical emma forums.

I say lets just leave as is and just remind everyone this is unofficial. I mean how many times has this board gone down and such. Its going well the with exception of one person but hey I say lets stay.

I like that idea. How many changes have we had? I won't take the trouble of counting, but we're still fine. (although my sanity level has dangerously descreased :lol: )

heres my 2 cents if anyone gives a toss.

Expand to a different topic, you can only go so far with emma lahana

sure by all means let there be a forum or somethin dedicated to it but dont make it the main sites attraction.

True, now that I think of it...we don't talk about Emma HERSELF a lot.

maybe, but emma is the glue that holds us all together. We might talk about other junk but think about it.


Say we change this thing to a power rangers site,

a lot of us might not come on-- why, because we are emma fans in general. Thanks for your "2 cents" aaron, but i still stick with goin with the unofficial site. Personally, i think we should take a vote

Dude, the site wouldn't have gotten ANY attraction if it wasn't for Emma Lahana. >_>

This site has potential to become larger. Not by much (much work has to be done), but a decent size.

We'll the FAQ and Diary forums were for Emma to post in or talk directly to us. With us being unofficial, there is no need for those two forums. As they serve no purpous. I moved all the posts to general emma discussion.

I am now leaning towards keeping things pretty much the way they are now, only with us being unofficial. There is no need to make this place something that it isn't. And I get the feeling most of you favor keeping the status quo. Now if Emma demanded I shut this place down I might have to rebrand. But there are plenty of unofficial fanboards on the net. So I don't see what harm we would cause , as long as we stopped claiming to be official.

Well, that sounds good to me. I don't think she would mind if we stay on. Just unofficial. And, if she does. Like you said you can rebrand, keeping the community together under a new name. :)

I don't know why a lot of the members aren't showing up like they used to. I guess its where this forum is back online-- it was at its best when it was down

03/29/06, 01:29 AM

I don't think that will happen but if so then yeah I guess we can just go to a new name and keep the community together

I love these forums. I've been on them for over a year now, and I don't want this forum to go anywhere! We can go on as an unofficial fan forum and still support Emma. That's what I want :)
