Suggestion and Policy

Old threads that have new posts should be moved closer to the top of the board.

I just posted on the upshot of what happened in a situation that we discussed earlier. I posted the upshot as a new post because I figure it's unlikely that many folk will scroll down through a bunch of old threads just to see if something new came up.  But moderator deleted my new post because it was part of another thread.  Seems counterproductive, unless the old thread moves up.  In some facebook groups that I have seen, anytime someone posts on a thread, that thread moves to the top so people know there is something new.  That's what I'm proposing for here.

Well, when TER 2.0 arrived which is the current site, that recommendation was implemented and it was an epic failure. Trust me, we tried it and it didn't work. We don't need to go back there again.

But on a high traffic venue such as TER, I fear that recent threads that still have lots of life would get buried by old threads that keep bouncing back like vampires.

It is tempting for trolls to manipulate things like this and lord knows we have enough trouble with trolls as it is.

On Ad Boards I don't have to tell you what could happen to gals' ads when WKs get involved.

...remember when Classic TER was "new" TER and people were against it.  They wanted to keep TER 1.0.  I still use Classic TER.

I stand corrected then. I must have joined right when 2.0 came out. That was over a decade ago and TER is only 15 years old, so can't be too many versions prior to that but I can imagine an original beta or first version prior to classic. Wonder what the the pages looked like?

...but once it's gone, I probably won't remember it either, lol.

When you have spent as much time as either of us have using Classic, i doubt i am going to forget it anytime soon. Classic was, and still is IMO the best discussion board software I have ever seen on a fuck board, or any where else for that matter, and I plan on using it until they finally stop supporting it.

and I too cannot remember original TER, but maybe as I have "only" been here for a little over a decade, it might have been before my time.

Some will embrace it. Most will hate it. Eventually most will accept it, and some will hate it, and a handful will hang on to the old as long as they possibly can. :)

As others have said, been there, done that, didn't work.
