Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Earlier, I mentioned reformulating some of our more bloated threads. It would, I think, make it a bit easier for new members or lurkers to participate in long-running discussion. In addition, it would give us a chance to reformulate the opening post and better set the tone. But if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. Rather than having a free-for-all, we can use this thread to propose topics that need a reboot, whether they should be split or otherwise modified, and who is most qualified to be the OP. What I had in mind for starters: The political thread The AIMhack metathread The self-picture thread The general picture thread What are you reading lately (with potentially a sci-fi fantasy spin off; even a WoT thread might be an order) Television? Movies? Several of these never got off the ground in the first place. "What game should I play next" will, I'm sure, appear every few weeks without us needing to lift a finger. Thoughts?

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think the idea was starting afresh with those particular threads because they had grown long and were near impossible for a newer member (or maybe an older member new to the threads) to get into. I guess the shift to a new forum architecture, or whatever it is we've done, seemed like a good time to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Nikki has the right of it. I know that I was intimidated by long threads when I was new, but perhaps that's not always the case. Glad I asked first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Rather than moderating threads to become reborn, if a thread needs a reboot I think you can do just that. Summarize the good in a new thread and take it from there. —Alorael, who doesn't want to start distorting the historical record for convenience. It's liable to turn inconvenient at the most inconvenient times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
