Righttt, time to get my mod uniform on (modhat, megaphone, ironic spotstache and "HELL HERE" vest - it's meant to say "Hello There", honest).

We have 15 topics to a page. The guide to roleplay makes 14. Six stickies discounting this one. That leaves space for eight topics. There are more than eight roleplayers, and in the old days, we'd have 2-3 current RP threads by one person on a page, and that was fine, everyone would still get a look in and we could have four stickies. Now, there isn't room for even two without one of them going down in a matter of hours. It's not a case of "nobody cares enough to reply", it's a case of "nobody sees it".

Personally, I would cut it down to a 'Big List' type sticky which users could reply to with important threads, rather than having half the board taken up with stickies. But, I'm not that active a user on here, so I want the input of the people who are. Please vote (poll's open for three days) and reply with your thoughts.

-b.k. x

PS. In case you don't know who I am, I'm Bikki, I'm an occasional table to roleplay, and I take my tea black with six sugars. (:

I dunno if this is what you meant by 'Big List' sticky but I think maybe create a thread with the links to the Top20 Airplay, Chart Heat, Character Adoptions, Metacritic Reviews, Face-Claim, DB Hotel and Chatbox. At least that way, it would only be 2 sticky threads and it would make it just as easy to get to those threads. That's what I think anyway.

That's what I mean by the single thread idea; also, users could reply with their own website/festival threads if they want to. By 'some of them', I mean that things like face claim and Top 20 etc. might be considered important enough on their own, rather than just a link.

Nobody uses the big list, the charts get updated every week anyway, and face claim would be a good one to sticky, but the main page hasn't been updated in 3 months or so. The metacritic thing just seems like a reg. ongoing thread, like DB or something. Character Adoptions maybe should stay, and maybe face claim and the big list if people would use it.

In my opinion, the metacritic thing isn't used enough to make it worthwhile, the big list isn't used at all, and I think the charts should be left there, the character adoption maybe could go, but the face claim should stay definitely - butit does need updating.

The downside with Metacritic is that me, C4AJoh and Laurelles were the only people reviewing. The method I had in my mind was that EVERYONE reviewed so that we could have averages and so on.

I think that the Big List and Metacritic shouldn't be stickied. then possible the two charts maybe somehow combine and become just one stickied thread. Then again possibly Character Adoption and Face Claim could be a combined sticky. Just my thoughts.

The Metacritic thread & The New Big List shouldn't be stickied.

with those two out, we should be fine.
