PROPOSAL to LAC
Okay so we are really working hard to find a way to improve our archiving and presentation of information.
Here is what we would like to do (kind of following up on a thread
@HiddenLakes made):
The thumbnails and links under them on the homepage link to posts in the middle of this thread:
View attachment 74612
If you click on the text that the red arrow is pointing to, it will take you to the exact point in this thread that the message appeared. For this example it will go here:
thefreespeechforum.com
The problem with this is if we want to archive this information so it is easier to go back and find the information later, it is very difficult to do that with just a message in this thread.
What I would like to do is create a new thread of the original post we would like archived. It won't effect anything in this thread at all, but it will create "buckets" of information that are easier to search and discuss after the fact as their own threads.
The slightly confusing part is that as we mirror these threads, they will be created under the the original poster of the message. So if
@BamaRidger makes a post worthy of presenting and archiving, it will get mirrored as its own thread on the forum as a thread created by
@BamaRidger

So this is how the flow of information to presentation to archiving will happen.
1. Someone links a very interesting article, video, etc in this thread
2. The article gets linked on the home page
3. At the same time a thread gets created (mirrored) on the main forum. No effort is required of the original poster of the message, but the thread created will have the original poster of the message as the OP of the thread
4. We tag the new thread to be archived so it is searchable and easy to dig up later.
