CeeJ Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Isn't there a way that we could just appreciate everyone in 1 thread? In order to find anything here you have to go back pages because there are 9 appreciation threads on page 1. I love the members here but can't we just keep all the love in 1 thread?

gleamingalloyaircar81 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I find its better to have a person have their own thread. All the attention is on them and looking at their thread can clear up a sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This amount of appreciation threads is burying the threads that we are looking for. Haven't we discussed this before? I know you love to add to that post count of yours but really you need to think a bit. One thread should cover everyone. IMO and a few others that feel the same way.

I know you love to add to that post count of yours but really you need to think a bit. One thread should cover everyone. IMO and a few others that feel the same way. Actually I think the appreciation threads keep a lot of conversations in one area and leave the rest of the board clean of conversations that the rest of the board might not want to be subjected to. If you remember how it used to be, a lot of people were commenting to posts that weren't met for them and a lot of people were getting offended. While we can't mend the generation gap we have here because Rush fans come in all ages I think that by creating a mini forum area where we can go to post this stuff ie: the appreciation threads in GD we have actually fixed that problem. That being said the people who have appreciation threads (myself included) are not saying we are better than anyone else on the board. You guys are all awesome! But it's just a place that we have to conduct certain conversations that a lot of people would either find childish or would say that our threads clutter up the board. I think we should keep them.

Lerxster Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I think individual appreciation threads are a nice thing. If someone feels moved enough to start one for someone else, and there are enough folks who post appreciation and love to keep it on the 1st page, then good for that member and their appreciation thread.

Janie Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I see both sides. I can understand that people want to create appreciation threads for certain people but sometimes those threads do push other threads down the page and then aren't seen. Anyway... maybe we "pin" those threads. That way, they are contained in one spot and easy to find for those who read/post in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The only drawback I see here is a the attention garnered by anything pinned. Pinned means it has a special sort of status; at least that is the interpretation. Some people WANT special status and would love to have their very own pinned thread. It could cause a sudden proliferation of appreciation posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
