Whaddaya Think? Now Hear This frequency...

JoeActor · 09-15-2008, 10:30 AM

Hey Gang,

Since the infusion of new blood, the "Now Hear This" thread each month has been exploso-riffic!

So, please take a moment to let me know how frequently you'd like a new thread started.

Currently I start one on the first of every month, fyi...

Thanks,
Joe J Thomas

When Leads and Reads (Demo of the Day) first started here (and always over at Savvy) it was a weekly thing. I guess the response was not overwhelming back then, so the frequency changed. I prefer shorter threads because if you are away from the board, or even just the thread for a while, you may miss a read say, some five or six pages back. I just find shorter threads more manageable, but I have stated that before. There are also times that the thread is lengthened by many comments on one particular read, and another read gets lost as a result -- or by some occasional slight deviation from the topic at hand (ahem).

That being said, I don't want to make any more work for you, Joe. If life is simpler for you with one a month, we can deal. Just stating my preference, since you asked.

Thanks for all you do here. It is very much appreciated!

I vote for weekly. I agree with Diane about the long threads.

Lee Gordon · 09-15-2008, 03:32 PM

I was going to suggest sticking with the longer thread only because stuff that gets posted toward the end of the time period tends to get lost as soon as a new thread starts up and with a weekly thread, that happens every week. But I would be willing to compromise with a bi-weekly or twice-a-month thread.

Lee?? You're willing to go bi ????

Geeze. Didn't know you had it in you!

I was going to ask what was wrong with people posting individual threads on specific reads - and then I realized that you still can do that anyway, so perhaps a ganged up thread is OK. If it gets much past 6 pages, it seems unwieldy though - especially if you have to click back to find other things that have been referenced.

Diane Havens · 09-15-2008, 05:32 PM

Well, August had 43 pages (!!!) and September already has 17, so, though it may vary, I think every two weeks would work out best.

Tony Pasquale · 09-15-2008, 08:02 PM

Bi-weekly should be easy enough.

I'm fine with however people decide to do it. I just subscribe to a thread and answer when I'm able. :)
