Stoner Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 This summer, change has come to the SabreSpace of America. A new logo. A new default avatar — Timmy can finally rest in peace. More threads being started. Megathreads fading into our exalted past. New posters are now welcomed, not harangued. I would almost call it morning in SabreSpace as we move closer to that elusive goal of a shining message board on a hill. Almost, because there's one more thing. Can we stop pinning threads? Quote

They were never harangued. Threads are still going to be pinned. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Please keep pinning threads. For the live of god don't stop doing that. It would be so annoying especially on game days. Quote
Stoner Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 They were never harangued. Threads are still going to be pinned. Some were harangued. My pinning argument is that threads are naturally pinned when people show the most interest in them. They'll always appear at the top anyway. I dislike having to look in two different places for the newest post. Whatever. I'll just ask SDS. He always gives me what I want. Please keep pinning threads. For the live of god don't stop doing that. It would be so annoying especially on game days. Do you think you'd have to go hunting for the gameday thread? Quote
darksabre Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 I think the forum is picking up since the end of the tank. More new posters, more stuff to actually talk about. It's nice. Like the old days. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Do you think you'd have to go hunting for the gameday thread? I think that threads like Around the NHL and gameday threads I would have to search for especially prior to game time. Pinned threads let me quickly see if something major has happened. I love having pinned threads and will challenge you to a duel SIR! A DUEL I SAY! if we want to get rid of them I think the forum is picking up since the end of the tank. More new posters, more stuff to actually talk about. It's nice. Like the old days. It has been 3 years of very dark and sad days for Sabres fans. Nice to see us reach the other side. Quote

Assquatch Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 harangued Thanks for increasing my vocabulary by 1. Quote
Stoner Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 nottoday.jpg I understand too much change at once can be overwhelming. More change comes... tomorrow. Quote

It has been much less contentious. The team's direction may be a big reason. Quote
Stoner Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 Foligno thread is a perfect example. No one really gave a rat's ass, but it got pinned like it's important. Now I have to see that at the top of the list, and I think it's the most recently commented on thread. Quote
WildCard Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Keep the pinned threads, they're very useful IMO Quote
SDS Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 This is just conservation of dissatisfaction at work... It's science. Quote

nfreeman Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 I'm kinda curious as to how long PA is going to keep complaining about something that everyone else likes. Perhaps this thread should be pinned for easy reference. Quote

They'll always appear at the top anyway. I dislike having to look in two different places for the newest post. Whatever. I'll just ask SDS. He always gives me what I want. There is a neat little feature that I have always used. Whenever I am logged in I click on the view new content button often and it shows me all the new posts in all the threads since I was last logged in and clicked that button. It's great. Then I click on whatever thread I am interested in and then their is a button to go the the first unread post, or I could mark them all as read. It's also great. Quote

I can accept that there is a place for pinned threads. Pinned threads should be threads that are promoted by the site and offered a prime spot as a customer service. The SabreSpace Game Meetup thread should be up there, but isn't. Just as Eleven didn't understand why the photography thread was pinned, I don't understand why the Foligno news was pinned. Let crowd sourcing work its magic. Now, about that Off Topic label... Quote
