REQ: a "get up to speed" thread. (or clean the whole forum/site)

[Trevally.]

You could make this get up to speed thread

Start a new thread - ask the questions that you need answers too - some kind person may give up their time to answer.

Webster may even sticky it if it is a good one

Thats all very good Trevally, and I would gladly help with any such thread but that is not really what Im asking for as I know it would get "lost" among all the other very good threads up there.

Im asking for something even more easy to see or point a lost comrade to then a sticky, more of an area dedicated to help and get new players up to speed faster with out drowning in the amount of mods and other posts.

But realistically making a thread my self would maybe be the best option, I can see that now

What you are asking is a new forum subsection gathering all, and only, the REL threads. Isn't it?

Thats a great idea Gap! (maybe the "downloads" section already acts like that in some way?)

That's maybe one thing that could help and Im sure there is more things that could be done to streamline the experience for new visitors.

Yes, the download section acts that way. The download tab at the top of every forum leads you to the main subsim forum page. From there, everything is categorized.

that's the whole point of my comments, to show you its up to you and him and him and that other guy to do these things.

we aren't about being big brother here or coddling things, so if a thread is very popular and it has merit, then we give it a sticky because it deserves a sticky. we don't pick and choose what to sticky and for the most part, we just let the threads usefulness and popularity decide such things. we cant have a page full of stickies so there are limits to how many we keep but we have no hesitation to sticky threads if they are usefull

I got what you were saying and hopefully you understood what I was saying to you then and now. as a community its up to all of us to do our part and if you see something needs doing then please do it and we will give you as much help as we can.

I wont promise a sticky to anyone for anything but if it deserves one i'll gladly give it one but even without a sticky a good popular thread will keep itself on the top of the forums just from the members posting in it.
