Badge threads, pushing "proper" threads down
on: July 22, 2015, 08:51:23 PM
I do not think, short of creating a "badge thread" subforum, much can be done, so this is more of an observation

Especially in the less popular subfoums a lot of the long running, large threads get kicked of the front page, practically disappearing, by the huge number of badge threads.

I noticed this a lot in the gadget subforum.

I know that there is the desire to keep badge threads in the related to the badge subforum, and to post new threads for each badge, so I am just, as I said before, making an observation...

Maybe you need to post more in the long running,  large threads to keep them up?  :D

Gadget Freak seems to be the only place where this is happening, at lady that I have seen,  and that seems largely because of the Time Lord badges.  I'm hoping now that the initial glut of requests is done that things will stay to calm down and return to normal.

The only thing that saddens me that all those separate threads make bad reference. E.g. I'm looking for a BO tool I have to check the many BO tool badge request threads, if all those images were in one, we would have a nice BO-tool reference thread.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

I usually only browse by unread posts, so if it's a new post, or new topic, it doesn't really affect how I browse.
