A question to you all regarding project threads

[rob275 1817]

Hi All,

There's a fair few of you that have project threads running and on looking at them it can be a bit of a pain to keep track of peoples progress due to the comments & questions on them (which are very welcome by the way) 

My question to those who have project threads running and those that don't currently is would a blog feature be more beneficial?

It would mean that you would have the capacity to set up a blog and post updates and within those updates the comments will be held. In essence it would act like a continuous feed of lots of separate threads.. I'm sure you all know how a blog works 

The downsides, projects would have to be populated again... Discuss and fill in poll.

Personally I think it's a good idea. But I guess a PITA for those that have already got fairly long build threads. Just to clarify, would all the old threads be deleted?

Presumably with a blog you'd have a page that just lists updates (and a separate page with comments for each) so following someone's build/mods would be easier?

I think the best option if we were to go ahead with it would be to lock every project thread and give people the option of linking to their previous build thread or copying bits over as and when. I admit it's a bit of a PITA

Correct, project progress would be much more visible. Means less scrolling around for people and it'd mean that you could respond to older updates far more easily without someone thinking what the hell is he on about.

Sounds good to me. Mine isn't that long and comprehensive as others so it doesn't bother me much by copying over details/pics.

I voted boobs but if I could've put 2 answers I would've voted yes too

[Tareim 343]

we get boobs?  or we see boobs? 

[Cerastes 204]

I didn't vote boobs, just in case it's a trick and it's man boobs. 

[AJ124 118]

I like the idea of it, will be a pita for some initially but long term a good way of viewing bigger projects.

[Rich 378]

Always boobs.

[rob275 1817]

I think i'll class the boobs as yes, making the decision quite clear so far  

[Deacon 1357]

Whose boobs have we voted for again?

I like the idea also but the thought of redoing the 21 pages worth doesn't fill me with enormous joy I must admit!

[Cerastes 204]

Or maybe give people the option to have a blog or carry on with the traditional thread. 

Or like Rob said have a link to your project thread in the blog so you don't have to copy everything if you have loads/too lazy 

[Steeps 294]

Copy/paste on this forum on a pc isn't that hard, but I think we need more boobs.

[Ade 517]

It would be a pita but i think it sounds cool. Id heavily condense mine if we did it.

I'm not intending on deleting any current project threads. I will likely lock them though and people will have to either A: start them off again or B: Continue on from where your thread was locked. I think having two project areas active will likely confuse matters.

[Cerastes 204]

I'm always confused.
