I had this idea for the Crystal Ball section of Althanas. For the newer members and even the vets, instead of having to look through all the unfinished threads that haven't been judged for ones that have been judged, why not make an Unfished Thread section, or something like that.

Because when I look through the diff. threads for the diff. regions, I get pretty annoyed when I look at one, thinking it'll be finished and everything and then find out it wasn't finished and just put there because it wasn't finished.

I realize that you guys are probably a little busy right now, but it'd still be something I'd like you guys to put some thought into for the future. Just tell me what you think.

I agree, it would be hella nice to see threads that are done and not JCs without having to go through those that were not done and moved into the crystal ball. It is a little annoying to try and find completed threads.

If you're looking for a specific thread, it's rather easy to simply search for it using the search function.

Just out of curiousity, what would be the purpose of searching out finished threads? Just to read them? Instead, why couldn't you read current threads and give people feedback on them?

It's not a bad idea, I just wonder how necessary it is. If you want to read finished threads, you could look in signatures of random people or something.

I like the idea. In fact, reading it makes me wonder why we don't do that already. The challenge now is going to be finding someone to sort the current archive.

I actually wanted to mention this before, but since making separate Archives for each region took a while, I thought this would be too much. I support this fully and propose Cyrus as the sorter. :P

I'll sort the damn thing, fuckers. But only if Serilliant gives me those powers in OOC and the bazaar forum so I can Pit spam threads and edit information threads to add appropriate links, respectively.

I'm all for it. We're going to end up with a bunch of Archive forums because of this, though, but I can see the need to organize so everyone benefits from it.

Besides, looking through judged quests can help newer Rpers to see how things get judged and what is good for certain level. It could serve as a way to keep track of "canon" events in contrast to ones that supposedly never occured because it was unfinished to begin with.

I also have to say I like the idea. though I think it may be pretty easy to get the unfinished threads done out right. Just have two starter forums.

Unfinished

Awesome Threads <---Click
Go to currant achieves

Something like that or something akin to that.

I see the subforum for the unfinished threads has already been made. The Unresolveds? O_o

I'll get to work that!

Also, just so people know, my plan is to go through the region archives and get rid of the incomplete threads there (already done), then do the same thing for the main Crystal Ball, then go through each thread and place them in the appropriate region archive, leaving the Crystal Ball main forum only for 'Other Regions' quests.

Also, I've had to move a lot of bazaar threads to the transaction archive. So stop putting them in the Crystal Ball, skanks.
