Ok, finally, after much prodding and kicking, I have was motivated enough to create the Collaborative (or democratic) Game Design forum. The first order of business we need to attend to is to choose a moderator of this forum and of the users within the group (I.E. I will not be taking on this role).
To see who has access to the forum, click on the usergroups link above and then from the pulldown, choose the Collaborative Game Design Group. I have added all the users who have I thought have made consistent contributions since they have become members. If you notice someone who should be here that isn't, notify me or the (soon to be) forum moderator.
One thing you should note is that this forum (and the usergroup for that matter) is hidden from the general public. This is not meant to be a secretive, hush-hush, powertrip kind of thing. I think it will be easier if we limit traffic to those members involved. However, you guys can decide later if you want to make this public or not. Also note that any new posts in this forum WILL NOT show up in the forum summary of new postings on the main page. This means that you will have to manually check here for new posts.
Ok, first order of business, nominate a moderator. After several nominations have been made (don't hesitate to nominate yourself), we will hold a vote. After the vote has been completed, the moderator will take over and then it's up to you guys!
Good luck!

Sounds good to me. Especially based on his competition score :D
