One Sticky Thread Per Forum?

Shikamaru Nara · 04-17-2010, 12:14 PM

What do you think?

In each forum section, there are great threads that have gotten buried and asked again.

I'm thinking that there should be one thread w/ internal links to the main, most interesting, and best reference threads in that section. This way, there won't be too many sticky/pinned threads at the top of a section (keeping it clean), while still having a way for someone to find a relevant w/o having to dig through piles of replies.

Ex:
In Captain Twill, there are great threads on flags, cannons/guns, various historical elements (like the period company logos one I just re-asked). A way to format a one thread "To good to be buried" would be:

Flags-
-Construction-
Thread
thread
Thread
-Did each pirate have their own?
thread
thread
thread

Period companies (who pirates attacked
thread
tread

Repeat for different topic.

Think of it as a section index.

You go through every thread ever made on this forum to decide what's important.

Shikamaru Nara · 04-17-2010, 12:17 PM

I will, if I must.

RicenChicken · 04-17-2010, 12:20 PM

or they could just make a FAQ and sticky it.

Shikamaru Nara · 04-17-2010, 12:21 PM

If you'd like, I'd lead a project like this, and I'd just get somebody to sticky it.

If your results are good, it will be considered.

Hidden Ninja45 · 04-17-2010, 12:41 PM

I think this would be a pretty good idea.

I get the idea of what you are saying, but your example confused me.

Shikamaru Nara · 04-17-2010, 01:26 PM

Alright, I'll make a new topic sometime, and if it looks good, I'll do that.

I will be leaving out some sections like the BG because chances are, if it's deserving, it's stickied already.

Looking forward to the fruit of this endeavor!

Shikamaru Nara · 04-17-2010, 04:11 PM

I am too, I'm just wondering if I can pull it off.

kakashi uzumaki · 04-17-2010, 04:13 PM

I would be willing to help with this. In my subscriptions inbox, I have a lot of threads like that.
