Time to Move the Sticky's?

[SharkTums]

Robb and I have differing opinions on this question so I figured I would put it to a vote!

 

Here's my thought:

 

We create a new board called "The Sticky Board" - All your favorite sticky's in one spot!

 

We put all of the Random Sticky's in there as well as the Ask Elissa for a Custom Member Title, and even maybe some more! It would be a board where you could not start any new topics, just add to the sticky's already in there. In time as we had new topics develop they could be moved to this separate board.

 

Robb worries that you guys will just ignore (not read or post as much) the new board, and we'll lose a lot of great posts that we all like to read. I see that as a possibility as well, but I just can't stand looking at 23423 sticky's!!!!

 

So basically, please vote and share your thoughts...Thanks!

The stickies are the first things I look at when I log on, although I don't post in them all that much, but I honestly think I'd forget about them eventually if they weren't right there. I'm all for change but... Don't take my stickies away!

[Stitch]

I would like an all sticky forum!

[robbalvey]

Perhaps a solution (not necessarily THE solution) is to reduce the number of stickies? For example, do we really need these to be stickied?

 

Picture of the day

The "Say Happy BDAY to your fellow users" Thread

Game: Rate the avatar above you

Game-The Guy Above Me

What Was the Last Beer or Wine You Drank?

 

 

My suggestion would be to leave the following as stickies:

 

The "Say Something Random" Thread

The "Rant" Thread

The "Picture Of Me" Thread

Movies, Movies, Movies.....

What song are you listening to?

 

I really would like to have as few different boards as possible, but if everyone wants a board just for the sticky subjects then I'd do it.

Why fix it if it aint broke!!

I say leave the stickies where they are and keep them all!!

In other words dont change a thing!

 

Acually I am glad you made the "What was the last beer or wine you drank" topic a sticky!!!

I like the idea of creating a forum for the stickies, but I'm pretty content with the way it is.

I agree with that.

 

Perhaps a game forum? there seem to be a lot of games bopping around.

[Carnage]

I'd go with the keep it the same, but trim the stickies option as well.

 

It works well as it is.

 

MAybe just remove stickies and add them as threads get popular and then die off.

[Wes]

A Games forum would be great.

[Homer]

Is it possible on PHP to have Subforums like on Invision?

 

If so, I wouldn't mind a stickies and BiCoastalKid's suggestion of a Forum Games forum. It seems now we have enough members that would still actively post in the new forums.

[CoasterCrazy]

I also think a Game forum would be great!

[waterviper]

Yes a game forum would be nice!

A great name suggestion would be THE MIDWAY!!

[Luxo]

I agree with the game forum idea

[robbalvey]

So if we move all the stickies to a game forum and no one goes there, can we move them back?

 

I personally don't like the idea of having yet another board since I barely have time to read the ones we have now.

 

But if everyone wants this and will actually USE it, then we will do it.

The problem, I believe, isn't whether the forum would go stagnant, but rather the fact that Robb & Elissa would have to moderate another forum.

Do you mean, all the stickies apart from the ones you mentioned earlier that you'd rather leave: rant, picture of me, etc?

 

I think a game forum would be a good idea seeing as they've been popping up all over the place lately, and hey, if no one goes there at all, delete them! See if anyone's paying attention!

[Meteornotes]

I like Robb's idea of reducing the number of stickies in the Random board. I'm thinking that having another board is going to keep people from reading everything, but I might be wrong on that one. Just my dumb opinion...

I think there is some confusion we need to clear up:

 

There are two different ideas here. The one Elissa wants to do is the "Sticky Board" where ALL of the stickies from the Random Board would live.

 

The other idea is the "Game Board" where all the games would live.

 

Personally, I'm not sure we have enough "games" for the game board because the only ones that are stickied now are:

 

The Guy Above Me

Rate the avatar above you

 

The others just kind of pop up here and there and die off after a few days, maybe a week or so. For example, at the moment there are only two non-stickied games with any activity: "Random Words Game" and "Mystery Coaster Game"

 

So I think what we need to focus on is the idea Elissa originally presented:

 

"Do you think we should move the stickies to their own board."

 

Let's save the idea of a "Game Board" for another time.

Ok, in that case, I say leave them as they are. As WV said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Perhaps you could reduce the number a wee bit though. Whatever's easiest for you guys I guess, it's you that has to keep on top of the boards, not us.

[bobpuppet]

Think the sticky's should stay where they are. I think I might forget about the sticky board after a while. I also agree with Robb that we don't need so many sticky's. When I first come on the random board all I see are sticky's. Let some of them go. If its a good topic it will stay alive.

[derwood]

I say leave them where they are.

[coasterguy618]

That is a really great idea to have all stickies on one board!

[robbalvey]

Ok, I have 'unstuck' a few things. See if that is more tolerable.

 

--Robb

[BiCoastal Kid]

Well, in the case of no game board...

 

I say reduce the stickies.

[Blazen_AZN]

well, judging by that poll so far... it's really not going to help your decision at all.

 

But i say leave them where they are! we come to the random board and we know they're here so whay change it? besides i think moving it to another board could reduce the traffic the topics get.

 

example: people who would go to the "stickys only" thread would be looking for a specific thread that they know is there. They would do the exact same thing if they stayed, they know it's here, so they come here. Moving the thread would probably result in the people who just see it by chance to decrease, because they were looking for a different thread that happens to be in the same fourm. In the "sticky only" forum there would not be those other threads.

 

gosh i'm bad at explaining myself!
