TCP:
A good idea.. I really like it. Not sure it would work in real life, though. TFP is made up of people from around the world, and while you may catch quite a few in a certain area (and others may drive to check it out), you won't collect enough TFP users in one area to make it successful. Part of the beauty of the messageboard (as a concept) is that people can log into it and converse with other people, even if those other people aren't online at the time. You find that the great conversations and debate that exists on this forum happens 24-hours a day, and that people are not doing it in 'real-time' (or as close to it as a messageboard can get). Now obviously, TCP could (and probably would) grow in popularity, and you'd have non-TFP people visiting TCP, but I'm not sure the number is enough.

Another issue is the topics of discussion. Having people from around the world lends a lot of different viewpoints on items, although I'm not saying everyone in a certain spot thinks the same. Just that I believe we see different views of some items because someone's from another culture. Anyways, the topics are varied and come from a lot of sources. I fear the limited amount of people that would be able to visit TCP would run out of things to say on topics after a while. Having a large variety of newspapers and magazines would probably help, though.

A real quick comment, what if you had a beer + coffee place? I'm not talking about a pub with everyone getting drunk and ruining the relaxed atmposphere, but I wouldn't mind visiting, having a beer, sitting back, and discussing stuff (I don't drink coffee

).

Most threads can translate over, although some (the picture-based ones primarily) might have some problems. Would you have a "titty board" room?

Anyways, just random thoughts spewed out from my head. Take with as big of grain of salt as you'd like.

TBP: Cool idea.. maybe start as a 10-min (15 min, half hour, whatever) long show that you post online, and then move on to local TV? Just so the non-local people can see the TFP show
