Stickies

[Wirestone]

Hey there. Howdy to Chuck and all. I was just wondering if we could cut the number of stickies on the main forum. I understand why they're there, but several aren't used anymore, and the sheer number means the number of active conversations is much smaller than it used to be -- once they're off the first page, people don't read them anymore. Probably just a shot in the dark, but I thought I'd ask. Does this bug anyone else?

Maybe 1) we should figure out why some of the stickies aren't used anymore, and 2) find a good home for the unused ones, other than being lost in the sea of old threads.

Might not be a bad idea to think about old threads and what should happen to them, too.

It just seems like a couple of them are for folks who don't or can't post much anymore. I don't think Desper has been around much lately. And the Peter Carlin book has come and gone. At the same time, I hate to lose the opportunity to have folks drop in if they want.

Is there some way to just add a few more subject lines to each page? That might address some of the issue right there.

Yes, there is.   How many would you suggest?

[Wirestone]

Hum. Well, there are 20 slots per page now. The first page has eight stickies. I would suggest adding three to five slots, which would give us 15-18 open slots, assuming the stickies stay as is.

Just looking at the pages now, the first page has items from the past two days. The second page has posts from June 23-27, and the third from June 19-23. So it's clear that the items drop off pretty fast once they're gone from the front page.

Chuck: Thanks so much for the tweak.

Tweak is my middle name.

Chuck, perhaps we can make a new forum under the BB forum called Smiley Smile Archives, or Smiley Smile Hall of Fame, where great threads go to die...

all the stickies that aren't frequently updated can go there, also posts that have tons of info...so people can still be able to search for them, and easily find them.

That's a good idea. A Hall of Fame subforum would be ideal. I noticed that the Carlin and esp. the Boyd threads are pretty much dead.
