I know this has been tough on the moderators, and site owner, but it seems like it could be resolved fairly easy with little or no growing pains.

Since no one else did yet, I decided to start this thread as a vehichle for input on this subject for the mods and powers that be, to review and maybe come to a simple solution to one of the few headaches here lately!

I know that the site has had some issues with bandwidth, and thread lengths. Just today the original thread has been locked. I understand the reason, and offer a suggestion. Can we divide this thread into chapters or sub-threads, like "OTBS the first 100", and then another thread, maybe " OTBS 101 to present" or something on that front. That would shorten the original thread.
Then have nominations and seconds continue on the newest member thread, but send any other comments to a new thread, possibly a" congrats to the newest squires and knights".




The above is what I deleted, and then added it back in. I feel like a politician!
 
Something about getting rid of the first 100 deadbeat OTBS members and starting over....

OK, I'm lost.....
What is the Subject we are reviewing? The size of the OTBS thread? Fill me in please.
thanks!
 
Ron locked the thread because it was getting overloaded with useless stuff not pertaining to OTBS. Capn Dan in his kindness started a new thread so we can discuss OTBS. I think. I could be mistaken. ;) I'm just an innocent bystander. You members can discuss the important stuff.

plain and simple-after a second nomination-no more posts in the thread-send PM's-for congrats or gripes-then all is behind closed doors-pros and neg.just my 2 cents.and what I think others think.
 
I have added my deleted idea back in. I am sorry for the confusion! I did have some help!

Thanks Dan!
You mean to divide the thread into 3 separate ones?

If it were my forum I'd say...too much work! lolol...

But since I'm just a visitor here, I'm agreeable with how the owners want to handle it.

I've got smokin to do.

It seems to me any time a club or organized part of anything wants to get started there are those who want to belong and dont deserve it, i think thats why there is all the fuss over this is. btw how about making the three separate threads dan was stating earlier stickys?
 
LOL, yep. Another thing is, once the person is nominated and the pleasantries are exchanged, the thread kinda sits there often for a week or two, until the next activity. I don't know how many folks actually go back to page 3 or 5 or 10 to see what was said when Knight number 15 was inducted. In other words, could the mods "archive" the first 100-150 members, or smething like that, and then just start a new version with the last half dozen-dozen entrees to the knighthood listed. After a year or so, clean house again, and move the "stale threads" to the archives.
