A valid one...

But then again - How off-topic or on-topic a topic actually is is up to the individual's opinion

So far, this topic has been mostly on-topic...

To be quite honest, a suggestion of how to make vB.org better would be to ask people like yourself, for instance, to stop making "OFF-TOPIC" cries every time you see a single post that doesnt conform to your view of the thread...

People have different ways of thinking, and different attitudes...

Up until now, I have put up with it in this thread for long enough...Every single post I see from you in this thread slates one or a group of members, and I am getting tired of it...

Therefore a valid suggestion would be to leave the Moderators and Administrators to decide what is what, and keep your personal opinions out of threads that dont concern just you...

Im sorry if I appear rude and blunt, but I do strongly feel that the more criticisms of members and/or their behaviour is part of what hinders this community's growth...

If we could all just drop this now, and get back to proper suggestions, it would be better for all...

=-=

On to a suggestion...

I think that Mods should go through the forums ever now and then, and Merge threads that are similar in nature...

i.e. - For god knows how long now, I have seen the same requests in the "Requests" forum...

Perhaps if a Mod or two merged all the threads of the same kind together, we could reduce the amount of unanswered, then "^bump"ed threads, by the mods simply replying - Search for "********" or whatever...

They could then close that thread, and move it to another forum, named "Archives" or something...

Then, once a month, that "Archives" forum could be purged to make space for new threads...

Well it's a good suggestion satan, but you know this will take up a large ammount of time to always find the thread this request has been posted before and merge it

I see...

Perhaps if we recruited a few vB.org'ers, (like myself for instance), we could help identify which threads need merging, then post it or PM it to you or Chen or something...

Why not have someone go throught the requests forum and then take the answered requests and post them into the hacks database..

Good idea. Members should really take up more responsibility and do a search in the "Request" forum, and then just add a post to the same request to bump it up, rather than clutter that forum with a new thread for something that was requested before.

Indeed...

Perhaps the "Thread Similarity" code from vB3 could be adapted to vB2, so that we could find similar threads more easily

yes the Thread Similarity code would work magnificently here, I believe Velocd had coded one based on it, not exact codes, his own codes, but same idea.
