New forum opinions.

[ThePhantomOak]

I am suggesting a new forum. I dont know how hard it would be to incorporate, but thinking about it rarely hurts anything.

Name: "Topic of the Week"

Uses: A place where subjects that are being discussed ad nauseam can be moved, without disrupting the thread titles and flow, to keep them from clogging up the most used forums. A general forum to put thread until the hype dies down

Community Advantage: Forum members who do not like to see a dozen WB/TDK/Iron Man/Mummy threads don't have to see them at all, because the boards are not clogged with irrelevant stickies. People who are interested in the subject still have access to the large selection of thread topics.

Moderator Workload: No additional workload. Rather than "merge" threads that pop up, the active moderator will just move a thread.

Location: Just below or above "Off Topic"; The forum could be filled with threads from any other forum that the MODs feel are being abused.



The reasons I like this idea are that

1. I dont like to have the same topic discussed 5 times on the front page, making it hard to find worthwhile threads.

2. I dont like to have to scroll through stickies of the subject just to get to the worth while threads.

3. I understand that if there is a group of people wanting to discuss the latest big thing, there will be plenty of people who will read and use the forum, and the new forum will give them a place to avoid flames from irritated users, and give the threads a place where no one has to seem them unless they choose.

4. There is never a lack of hyped up subjects that clog the boards. Every few weeks a new subject takes over as the topic that wont go away.
