MemberOvomorph01/30/2012This site has been really fun that is not a question, but i feel like the locking of certain threads kind of undermine the good atmosphere.
Some threads can easily relate to a broader area or topic, thats what i mean.
Is it possible to just move an existing thread maybe?

MemberXenomorph01/30/2012SJ,
We are working on discussion topics under the main threads. The issue is we have 800+ Discussion Topics and ALOT are repeat threads, or threads posted in the wrong category. The website gets cluttered with alot of repeats and wrong locations. This is only going to get worse with the number of members going up 10+ per day. So we're premptively trying to limit repeats, please try to look at it from our perspective, if we don't start getting things in order now it will only get out of hand from a mangement perspective.
Please scroll back through the threads and expand on what has already posted or relate the discussion to another thread if it springs up another topic of discussion. We are not limiting the good atmosphere we are asking that you think about what you want to post, make sure it hasn't been discussed somewhere else and make sure its not in the wrong category, thats all.
Note: When I lock a Thread I always give a reason why it was locked.

This is so when we do get those categories up we know what threads we have to move where.

MemberOvomorph01/30/2012Is there any way to modify this forum to reflect other message boards? What I mean is, when you post a reply to a certain thread, is there any way to make that thread "bump" up to the "front of the line" so to speak? As it stands now, if you reply to a thread that is several pages back, there is a good chance that you won't get any replies and those threads just seem to get lost in purgatory.

AdminEngineer01/31/2012Yes, we're working on a "bump thread" feature as well as a "Subscribe to this thread" feature.

MemberOvomorph01/31/2012I think locking threads in very beneficial to the forum's health. It is important that discussion doesn't stagnate on this site, and one of the best ways to ensure that doesn't happen is by Locking repeat topics.
