Would you all agree that all threads in this section should follow the format:

[St. John's]: Thread Title

? It might seem redundant but when the threads appear as the most recent one with a post in the entire Atlantic Canada section, it'd be nice, I think, for people from other provinces to not mistake it for a thread in their section.

Changed the title of the official project thread just so you can see what you think...
^^^^ I agree, it'll help with consistency and tidy up the section.

BTW: I noticed your name is now colored purple, I guess you're officially a moderator...congrats! Same to you, Jeddy!

O.K. I've updated a few of the thread titles and made three additional ones stickies. Please let me know what you think, ESPECIALLY if you don't like any of these changes.

Also, added some cute and I think relevant smilies to the title of each thread, ha!

Although I think it might be redundant to have to put [St.John's] in each thread title, it can't hurt either, as you said to avoid any possible confusion. I am glad that the two of you chose to be moderators (congrats). I would have offered if necessary as I have been on here for so many years, but my time is more limited nowdays, and I need a break sometimes. Everything is looking good - be careful to not have too many stickies - but I would have stickied the East and West End threads too because they are project threads.

East and West end would put us at 6 - I think that's O.K. as the limit. What about you?

Also, do you think I should unsticky any of the current ones?

OR do you think we should get rid of the [St. John's] on every thread title...? I'm fine with either, really, just as long as we're consistent.

Sticky only threads which you think will always be relevant and will see constant activity; but six is probably enough IMO.

Constant activity would knock of Steel-Toe Boots. I'll unsticky that one. Development Rumours I think we should leave there, even if it does slow down sometimes.

He's gone crazy with power!!!!!!!

Haha, just kidding

don't think we need to sticky any more threads. we have a few popular threads that generally stay in the top 5 anyway. It's not like they're ever hard to find as they're never far down the list

I like the brackets idea, that's a good way to keep everything organized.

Congrats Signal and Jeddy on being our appointed masters. May you have grace and balls as you govern over us measly peasants. Never forget, we live to serve the both of you. What thou sayest, goeth! Thou art the big cheese, the head honcho, the puppet master, the big man upstairs, the president, the governor, the king. We shall, by law, submit ourselves unto you as our master. May you govern with wisdom and strength and defend the kingdom of SSP from the likes of trolls and s***-disturbers. All hail Jeddy and Signal (may they live forever)

HAW-ZAAAA!

Edit: I also think the official project thread should be at the very top as opposed to this thread.

Not crazy with power, I promise. I want us to be very democratic here. But I am a little OCD with consistency in naming conventions, etc.

I think the main project thread will be on top as soon as one of us post in it.

Actually, I agree with architype. I think having [St. John's] at the beginning of every thread is very redundant. I think we should have it for individual projects (like fortis, deacon, or Hilton threads) but we don't need it for every thread. Isn't that why we have our own section? So we don't have to distinctly mention that everything relates to St. John's? I doubt many people will visit the St. John's section to look for the Edmonton east end thread

But if you want to, that's fine too!

Yay you have power!

I think the [St. John's] in each thread title is a bit much now that we have our own section. It was great when trying to sort through threads in the Atlantic Canada thread, but now what we have our own section it really isn't necessary.

Yeah, now that I've switched a few over... it just looks bad to me, having [St. John's] on all of them. It's just too much. So, scratch that as a solution, yes?

We need to have some sort of guidelines as to how we name these threads.

Should we just say "Put [St. John's] on it if it's a specific project, nothing if it's not" - or come up with a few others. Now that it's in the St. John's section, should we have:

[Project]

On specific building threads?

[Photos]

On those threads?

And nothing on the rest?

Oh okay, I just tested the stickys. Newest sticky goes to the top. That makes more sense. I thought they were concreted in one position

I say keep [St. Johns] for specific project threads, you can add the photo one for photo threads, and I don't see any problem with the others remaining as they are for the tie being. That's my vote

O.K. have a peek now and see what you all think.

Edit: And I unstickied this one...

Should we create an "Introduce Yourself" thread for new forumers?

Or perhaps change the title of the Community thread to:

[Off Topic] Community Thread (Say Hello and Introduce Yourself)

If you have too many stickied, people get used to ignoring them if they aren't active.

Agreed. However, I do think the four we have aren't too many. I also think I could not have said that more awkwardly lol. What do you think?

^ I think you will both be good mods.

The main Vancouver section has 6 stickied, and 3 of them have not been active since November.
However they are considered important enough to be there in spite of inactivity.

One thing I think you should address is that every other mod (including Myles and Greg) are not only displayed in purple, but in bold face as well. Signal and Jeddy are only in purple, but not bold. We need consistency here!!!
