At what point does this place need multiple categories
Thursday, August 15, 2002 by Istari | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I kind of like that the message board is a single entity. But the popularity of this place is starting to make it hard to manage. If I set my settings to be 5 days worth of posts I get hundreds of them now. Does anyone else but me think that it may be time to think about having different message board groups?

the point about all the "how do i do this" posts on the message board is valid.
would it be sensible and possible to add a new thread that was read only, with a title like "FAQ - Read me First", and make sure that it was always the top thread on the board?
the one message in it would simply contain links to the programs required and the newsgroups, plus a few other basic bits of info.
since some newbie's are obviously finding the message board, there is a chance some of them would read such a thread feline engages rampant optimism mode
IF this is adopted, an option to hide the read in our profiles would be nice, since it is going to get dull seeing it always sitting there after a month or 6

Thing is, we all were 'newbies' once....and it was simply through interaction with a 'logical' MB that we all became brilliant, seasoned and modest veterans...
The 'danger' of segregating the 'help me, I'm new' posts from the 'rest' is that maybe less responses to those requests would be forth-coming. As it is, everyone gets to wade through the same bunch of stuff and can respond, or not, as appropriate...
