Hi guys,

With all due respect, I believe there are too many Pinned topics in this forum already. There are so many now that only six threads that are not Pinned will display on the first page of this forum. I'd like to humbly suggest that perhaps the "100 Post Club" "500 Post Club" ect. as well as "Happy Anniversary" and "Happy Birthday" could all be moved into a separate forum called "Congratulatory Posts" or something like that.

Also I think that ethan's "Pals Of The Saddle" threads with biographies of various costars could use a separate forum all their own. There's lots of good stuff there, but they are getting pushed down way too quickly.

Thanks,

E.J.

ethan,

I took your advice and copied this stuff into this forum. It's just a suggestion, but I believe it would make things slghtly less crowded.

E.J.

Thank you EJ,

In the last week or so, we've been getting the same feeling about "off Topic Discussions", and agree things have to be revised.

We will be in contact with Kevin , and the other mods to decide which method will be best.

Chester :newyear:

What we've done to clear things out a little is to merge the 1000 Post club and the 1000+ posts club into one thread, and we moved the pinned Member Map topic to the Newbie forum. So now there are eight topics showing under the pinned topics.

I think your suggestion to perhaps have a sub-forum for the Pals in the Saddle and the different post clubs is a good idea.

Chester :newyear:

Great ideas guys!

A good call on both accounts I thinks thats helped refresh the board a little.

A little additional suggestion would be to centralise Chillibills stories into one section.

:agent:

Robbie,

Thats an interesting concept. We've tryed to do that by pinning the link to Chilibills Web site in the Newbie Forum.

Keith,

Its great Kevin created this new Forum. Several folks were concerned it was getting kinda crowded over in off topic. THe Mrs and I agree with you that this will have the same benefit, as the new Movie Reviews forum, and it it will eliminate endless searches, through fragmented threads.

This Organising stuff is a good thing. ;)

Chester :newyear: and the Mrs. :angel1:
Hi Jim and Mrs.,

I agree, with not only what you've done above,
but the general tidying up, should continue.
The off topics, subjects, such has 1000 post clubs, Happy Birthday etc.,
could well do with a mini-forum, and at the same time, Arthur's 'On the Day'
and our only Free and Easy, 'Real Senior Members'
could benefit, from being pinned.

I think the current policy of merging overlapping threads, is the way to go.
In compiling the Movie Reviews and Pals of the Saddle,
I have dragged across, or linked(with the help of yourselves)
previous threads relating, to the same subject.

In future, as soon as a NEW threads are started, all be it, Birthdays, New films, Firearms,particular DVD releases, Documentaries, Actors,
and they clearly overlap previous threads,
they should be shunted, into the existing ones,
otherwise, we will return to the fragmented mish-mash of threads,
which we are currently trying to clean up.

Moderators

I think it would be a good idea to have both a deceased column in the off topics section where people can read the many tributes to people whom have deceased since the board commenced.

Secondly I think the board would benefit if the movies discussed in the off topic section were merged into a movie section possibly sorted by genre.

Just something for you to think about.

:agent:

In addition to what I have stated above it might be a good idea to merge the 100, 200, 1500 etc posts clubs in the pinned section of the off topics column as it looks very cluttered at the moment.

:agent:

Me again. :D

I've just being reviewing the pinned topics in the general discussion area and noticed some descrepencies.

There are two links in relation to a John Wayne museum. one of these could be deleted.

Secondly the 2005 JW movie poll results could now be unpinned as the result for the 2006 poll is imminent.

This in my opinion would allow the pinned area to be more focused, sharper and less cluttered.

:agent:

Robbie,

Consider it done :D !

Chester :newyear:

Thanks Chester.

Can anything be done about my two previous requests?

:agent:

In addition to the above request has any final decision been made on non posting members?

:agent:

Robbie,

No decision yet on non-posting members, but final decision on that is Kevin's, as he is the only one with the "power" to remove them.

As to your other suggestions, we will revisit them at an upcoming moderator's meeting.

Thanks for your interest and suggestions.

Chester :newyear:

Hello All
I appreciate the time taken to 'Organize' topics etc. There are some multiple topics that are related. Perhaps the members who started these 'parallel' topics could be asked if they are OK with the merger thing. I am not well versed in the process involved and gladly leave that to those who know much more about it. Would it work to move all the 'pinned' topics to one area called ?-- Pinned topics.
To many cooks means a lot of Chilli in the pot so I will stop here. Thanks for the time invested. murray

Hi Chester

What decision did you take at the moderators meeting in relation to non posting members?
