Stagnation In the Forums

If more threads were stickied I think it would help. Topics that can be consistently added onto and GOOD "hot topics" should be pinned up so that the fluffy garbage is consumed by itself. If there is a post of the day/week it should be a sticky that can grow and be seen.

When I administrated and moderated, it was very important to rotate and control the stickies. When a topic became old and outdated, I removed it. When a topic was excellent and/or had potential to go "hot", I'd pin it.

If new members try to ruin pinned topics, the topic should be "cleaned up" by deleting spam posts.

I agree with the post a day, as deliliah had said. I also think it's a good idea for there to be a certain area where all the fluffy posts can go. So we won't lose members and whatnot, but we will still have organization and a place where everyone can learn more. Very good ideas in here. :)

Great ideas, White and Amber! I could definitely see the potential benefits of utilizing those suggestions.

Question: What if we add a sticky of FAQs to answer them before they post? Good idea?

They are stickied in various places throughout the forum and then ignored by folks until they are referred to.

Good to know. But wouldnt be easier if there was just one.
