Hello, judges. I have been contemplating the creation of a new Misfits club for quite a while, as the only Misfits related club that has ever had a chance of surviving was created four years ago and went completely under the radar, and that isn't being said lightly, as you'd see if you take a quick look at it. I am asking for judgement as the above thread does exist, I just felt that a four year bump wouldn't work as well as a fresh club, that will (hopefully) be slightly more well created. There is a good chance of this club surviving, as I know another few Misfits fans on the BBS, and if I spread the word of it onto them then they may spread it to some other Misfits fans on the BBS that they know. I know that depending on a snowflake effect for a club's success is risky, but it is quite likely to work. Below is a quick draft for the opening post that I have made quite quickly, I will make sure that it is slightly more complete and include something about going through judgement here and asking for permission from a moderator in my final draft:

Welcome
Welcome to the Misfits Mob, the most recent club for discussion about the band 'Misfits' and all things related to them. I am aware that there has been a Misfits club in the past, but that was created back in 2005, and it slipped under the radar and received no replies at all.
What do we aim to achieve?
We aim to establish an environment for a band of fans of the band to engage in discussion about, or just related to, them. There is little more to it than that, and hopefully this simplicity will help carry the club a long way.
Rules and Regulations
I do not like setting specific rules that are outside of the general BBS rules, as there is no way that they can be enforced, as I am not a moderator, and the word 'rule' makes it seem as if it's a punishable offence, and it is highly unlikely that there will be any large repercussions for breaking them, as they are not official. We do, however, have some regulations that you will have to follow.
The first is that you need to keep the discussion here relative to the Misfits, or things that are somehow related to the band, try not to stray much further than bands that they are sharing bills with, or things that relate to the band at a similar measure.
The second is that you should not bother with making posts in here to slag them off; this is a fan club, not just a general discussion crew. If you want to express a few negative points, then do so in an intelligent manner, rather than making mindless rants against their music.
Thirdly; we, as of [Date of Thread Creation], do not have a members list. This is because we have no need for one. This means that you should not post asking for membership, but rather just join the discussions that we harbour. This does not mean that we will not have leaders. To help keep order in the thread I will monitor it and try to keep order, and if it becomes anything elaborate then I will appoint some other members to help out with the task, and during times of my absence I will appoint a regular user here to take charge of the club.

If any critique towards this post, or the club in general, then do not hesitate to mention it.
