Pinned Topics

do we think there is a need for a pinned geo chat forum

I would have thought not, it is just disappear in to obscurity and it’s entire purpose (as far as I aware) is to get people to notice that something is happening. If it is getting annoying perhaps it should be locked and only bumped once a month or so.

Eh? Sorry Alistair, that doesn't seem to make any sense...?

Why does the thread actually exist and why does it keep getting bumped? Unless I am missing something then it is to advertise the geo chat.

 

From other discussions we [or is that I] have drawn the conclusion that people don't bother checking the pinned topics so by making it so it would blend in to the background and no longer serve it's purpose in life.

 

That is not to say that a pinned topic would not be useful for updating people on the service, but that is a not the way the current thread has really been used and anything useful is berried in a load of silly posts to keep the topic toward the top of the list.

 

Perhaps I need a drink, that always makes things make more sense.
