[QUOTE="Mortepierre, post: 2212905, member: 9765"] PC, To be clear, I wasn’t suggesting a new method of archiving old threads. What I was proposing was that threads that enjoy enormous popularity (say, 20,000+ views? More?) AND are either closed (because the author is done) OR haven’t been updated in a long while (say, 3-5 months?) be moved to a “Hall of Legends” forum (or something like that) which would regroup the best of the best. Ideally, a thread’s author would be the only person allowed to post on such forum. This would insure that: a) they are never lost to page 4 (or beyond), thus removing the need to bump them constantly (there aren’t that many of those, are they?) b) readers and prospective authors would have one easy-to-find place to look if they wished to immerse themselves in the kind of stories that moved hundreds (if not thousands) of people to log in daily to ENWorld just to see if their favorite author had [I]finally[/I] posted an update Active threads belonging to this category could stay on the current board because, being updated regularly, they wouldn’t need the constant bumping anyway. I foresee only two problems with my proposal: 1) some people might be tempted to check their own SH multiple times 24/7 just to insure it ends up with the other ‘best of the best’ 2) it creates yet another forum to visit (although a link at the top of the current SH board could solve that easily enough) You just know how to motivate me to keep on writing, don't you? ;) [/QUOTE]
