New Format

So your suggestion is needed. As you saw, I did this update a little differently, giving each long running title their own thread while giving lumping new series titles together. The solict thread stays put and we can still have discussions there but I thought it might be easier to just collect feedback for one series in one place(so the writer can look back at past suggestions, etc).  It would also give the writers a place to post and discuss their titles.

Plus the Lounge can remain as a place to post Fan Art. :)

If there was a way to make a post 'sticky' so it stayed right at the top of the sub-section of the forum, I think it would be a better way to do this. I kind of agree with Kipe on this one, as I think there's a chance that maybe if one title has more people reading it than others, there's a chance it gets overlooked in the update, whereas previously I think it was easier to see 'look, there's an update, this is what's new, okay...' kind of vibe.

Although I do appreciate the attempt at something new :).

Honestly if the thought problem is titles getting over looked with this format, since X-Treme is still doing the General Section thread the same way with links that problem would still exist. Cause if you look back at the GS thread there were plenty of titles or issues that didn't get any feed back at all. There were titles that were read more that got feedback but others didn't. So new or old format there is that big chance that can happen.

I personally think this new way works best because the GS thread is no place to have conversations about the actual issue or series as a whole because say I post about COTA and then someone posts about X-Force Beyond and then someone about INtolerance and then X-Treme replies about COTA and then a post about something else and others that follow that then finally I reply about COTA and on and on. It becomes sort of a jumbled mess you have to decipher through to reply about it. This is easier so that any comments about COTA go in that thread.

Sticky would be a good way to go about it so that they are always there at the top and no one discussion thread gets lost at the bottom. But they wont' really get lost because like X-Treme said he'll be linking the issue in the GS and if the issue is linked in the discussion threads too they'll move right back up. Also not much chance of them moving further down in that section as the only other thread that is actively posted to there really is Marvel Omega's thread.

Also this would make the Fan Fiction forum look cleaner as if you look down there are tons of GS update and review threads and a review thread for this title there and another for this title and then another for the title before that and then one that someone posted that is just a plethora of reviews they recently made. If each universe or title or line of titles has a place to reply to just makes it cleaner and easier to see really.

What Uncanny said makes sense and it would look cleaner. Personally though, I'm fine with however you choose to do it.

Are you guys talking about having one sticky GS Update thread? Then all solicitations, updates, and links could go in that thread. If the titles were discussed in other threads it would be easy to keep the GS Update thread clean.
