Eliminating Repetitious Threads

[Lloyd Danforth]

I think we should consider deleting repitious threads.? These threads make it seem like there is only one subject, event or, organization in the world.? The Constitution Rangers threads are a good example of this.? All of the Hampton news could be in one thread, also. Another thing is we should try to avoid creating yet another fucking thread every fucking time a new thought runs thru our heads.? But, thats just me.

He's doing that because he's putting something on the calendar.  I can link any post to the calendar, so if you want Dada, just put some note on it that says Please link to calendar.

We could have threads by subject, or, perhaps on the Wiki, instead of the forum, a database thingy,  listed by NH towns and cities, reeporting news of that community, good and bad.

Here's what I could do.  So that the forum index doesn't become a mile long, I can make many sub-boards.  So under NH News I could put one called Keene News...I'll do that one to demonstrate.  If you like it, I can make a bunch of them.

BTW, if I do that, I recommend that you use the "Show unread posts since last visit" feature which is available if you're using the default forum "theme" which you can select under your profile information.  If there are 100 boards and sub-boards, it's hard for people to browse through them to find all the new posts.

Hmmm... no. 

I don't think we should become bureaucratic and organized on here like the FSP forums have become.  Especially with so few members.

Combining threads, creating more and more categories, creating more rules, moving threads, warning posters to post in the right place...  this is all a HUGE turnoff to me.

Bureaucracy is the bane of my existence.

Heh, I like that guy.

I made it so that hopefully, anyone can link a post to the calendar.  That should help remove repeat posts.  So if there's a repeating event you'd like you'd like to put in the calendar, post it once.  Then on subsequent occurances of the event, click on "Link to Calendar" and link all events to the same post.  That should be clear as mud now

What if all calendar entries were to go into a "Calendar Entries" section?
