Topic Discussion
I see you point Sticks, but having lots of topics with one or two replies that get lost in general chat doesn't work either. It might not be as bad now as the topics don't move so fast but while the show is on it's hard to spot the announcements of peoples passing. At least by having just the one thread they are all contained in one place in General Chat in a topic that is at the top of the forum.
I have edited the the topic this morning and added subjects to all the posts. I'm shortly going to add a rule to Sunny's first post stating that members should include the name of the person they are talking about in the subject line and how to do it and I will repeat this after this post. This way as you read through the topic and you will know who people are talking about. In addition to this I will check the topic to make sure the rules are being followed and make edits accordingly and I'm sure other moderators will do the same.
Yes there was confusion about where to post the Anna Nicole Smith but that is understandable since so many death announcements have appeared in General Chat recently. But the announcement was quickly moved to the right place by myself as was the second topic that started on her death.
It's going to take time for people to get use to the new system, but like everything that is new there will be problems to start with but let us not give up on the idea of a single thread yet.
