Just an idea I wanted to bounce off the board members here...
One of the most common recurring complaints I'd seen in the Twitter Threads were that the tweets were sometimes getting lost in the discussion going on in the thread. So I thought... maybe we should have 2 threads? A Discussion Thread which anyone can post to and discuss (working just as it does now) and a second thread which only the Admin/Mods can post to which have only the tweets/info and nothing else. Essentially a read-only reference thread which might be handy if you're not on the boards every day...
Thoughts? Alternative ideas?

Hey Hrungr,
That sounds good to me especially since I just left the BSN DAI Twitter thread and the conversations are not related to Tweets at all.

I don't mind the Twitter thread getting off topic (that's part of the fun) but I imagine for users who are only looking for news it might get annoying.
That's up to people posting the tweets (Hrungr^^) , you'll have to double post all the things , and there were ME/DA/secret IP thread.
But I guess you could make one twitter Bioware newsfeed thread or something?

That's a great idea actually. Would you be okay with the extra work? Though I guess it would be copy and pasting...

I never minded occasional off topic (guilty of being responsible for that... sometimes), but separate threads actually sound nice.

Going to try it out (once I've figured out how to make a locked forum)
As long as people keep posting tweets in the thread that can be referred to.

An overwhelmingly positive response so far; I'm convinced. Hrungr for moderator (or, at least, of similar posting privileges) and we're good to go. The mod-only rule should be simple enough to both follow and enforce, and I guess no one will be annoyed at the lack, or overabundance of discussion this way.

Yeah, the idea is that the tweets/info get copy/pasted first to the Discussion Thread and then (either right away or as time permits) to the Reference Thread. And since it's just copy/pasting, it's goes really quick. It would just be a question of who would have access to the Reference Thread to do that.
Edit: And I certainly don't mind doing that myself and/or with others (eg. If Admin, Mods or if Lady Sif, EP, PCThug, etc. also join up.)

Just a quick note that I edited the actual twitter discussion thread to have the word "Discussion" in the title, to help avoid confusion. This is sort of how The Walking Dead forum I frequent handles their filming spoilers section. There is one thread a mod runs to put all filming updates/spoilers, and a separate thread designated as the discussion thread for those filming updates/spoilers, etc. Seems to work well over there. |

I don't really mind the Twitter Thread being crumpled with discussion but I believe this is a good idea so I'm in.

Separate keeps things more organized I feel. Some folks may only be interested in certain games.

nice idea. as other people have said, it makes it better for people who go there just for tweets rather than other people's thoughts and commentary on 'em. so long as people are alright with doing a little extra work.  |
