i have to say, i totally agree.

ethan, you're new here. hell, I'M new here - and check out my join date and number of posts. i can only speak for myself, but i wouldn't presume to come into a long-established, much-respected board and say it should be changed. this is the second thread of this nature you've posted (that i've seen) in the past month or so, no? if you don't like the ledge, don't come. if you like another forum better, stay there. don't try to make this one into another. i think most of the posters here think the ledge is quite perfect as is. it can actually be seen as a little insulting to suggest otherwise to the people who worked so hard to make this board what it is, and maintain it daily.

What does it matter how many threads people have started?

Agreed

It was only a suggestion people, not an attack on the board...

And I happen to think this is quite a cool idea

i agree that people are making too big a deal out of this silly suggestion, but i don't like the idea. i think it puts too much emphasis on the popularity of threads instead of their actual content. just my $.02.

Totally. But then again, a big deal is usually made out of everything Ethan posts, so its pretty much expected

Although it's always nice when people are trying to think of cool new things, and I definitely appreciate that, this idea reminds me of when people here have noticed when someone has a post that names people for whatever reason, but doesn't name them, and then they say "I never make these lists" and then a bunch of other people talk about how they never make the list, then at other times people joke about being threadkillers, or how many posts they have, or whatevs.

In other words, I don't really think the idea of posting being a competition, and something that you score points for and keep track of, and essentially score in such a way as to imply "interesting" and "not interesting" is necessarily the best idea.

I mean, things like the aforementioned might not happen, but I can't help thinking they probably would. If I know my ledgies.

I'm not actually sure whether people really care about being threadkillers, or making people's random lists, or posting a lot, but sometimes when people talk about it it seems like they do.

Also, you can usually just tell if people like a thread or are interested in the subject. Sometimes good stuff gets lost or overlooked, and that sucks, but it all usually works out okay. I appreciate the rating and scoring of things as much as anyone, likely more, a lot more, but not in this case.

Ratings? Who cares?
On Seven Dunders, where I RARELY go(maybe once a month, when ya'all are being lazy with the posting!), I don't even know what the "Karma" is for, or how you do it.......... I mean, who CARES about that ****? It's stupid, and juvenile, IMO.

Yea, it probably is - but then again, so are the "What Are You Eating" and "What Are You Doing" threads

I think it was a nice suggestion to make, but obviosuly its not very popular, so lets just move on...
