I’d like to make a suggestion regarding the pinned topics for nationals.
I like the different threads for each individual competition as it saves from a mega thread that no one who isn’t live posting is going to have the energy to read.
However, all these empty topics at the top of the board is not a good idea for the returning less frequent users who log in at big events. It makes the board look inactive. Nor is it ideal for finding other topics.
I would like to suggest that only the topics are not pinned until the day they are live.
However I do still think that it’s a good idea not to have so many pinned topics as that’s what people will see when they first log in and it’s quite off putting
MC I disagree. There’s plenty of activity elsewhere to show on the board.
Rich takes a lot of time organizing those, doing threads for major events. How he does things is perfectly convenient for him and us. We have other lives too you know. He works full time.
As I said, I think the threads themselves are really good at keeping things organised and in the right place. All I was suggesting was that they don’t all needed to be pinned.
I’m not being defensive at all. I made a suggestion/observation that you clearly passionately disagree with, which is fine. However I don’t think it’s an unreasonable or inappropriate suggestion (there’s a few likes from people I’d say are regulars) and I certainly didn’t anticipate it being something that anyone would take personally.
You know I don’t mean to poo-poo my unpaid interns. If you come to antwerp and I end up coming which it looks like, I’ll get you some Belgian beer or chocolate. Provided you unpin those first of course.
