Thread of the Day.

[Admin Bear]

I am considering posting a "Thread of the Day" in the side bar area...

if i receive a nomination in this thread by 8AM (board time) i will post it in the side bar. if no nominations are received i will pick a random thread and post it there for the next 24 hours.

if you have thoughts on this or have nominations please post them here.

Admin Bear,

I like this idea and just wanted to know if I can pick a nomination? If you have changed your mind I UNDERSTAND.

No one had even sent a PM (or replied) until today. so i deleted the space for it on the side bar.

that being said if a thread gets nominated here i can sending out on Twitter and or Facebook each day...

so if you (and others) put a link to a thread of the day (every day) i will share them on our social media channels.

I think the difficulty is picking a thread EACH day. I like the idea, but quite frankly, daily involvement for Thread of the Day (ToD) over the long-term is hard to maintain.

Would you consider an adjustment:

1. first make a list of 15-30 older/continuing threads, and use this pool of threads as a basic loop for the ToD (some would require a little updating, such as "This Day In History" series)
2. can insert a special one-time listing for relatively new threads that are interesting, but not practical for insertion in the thread pool
3. good threads that have stood the test of time, can be added into the pool

Workable? Or put in the filing cabinet labeled "Trash"?

hmmm i like how you are thinking.. .

explain the workings of it over all (write in crayon if you will) so that i can grasp how this would operate on a day to day basis.

keeping in mind i really want CQ to ba part of this process and that i have LIMITED (more so as of next month) time..

1. We first makɘ a list of older and continuing threadƨ (i.e., make a thread pool). I can help contribute to this during my vacation, since I won't have my stampƨ with me
2. ƆQ (or ƨomebody) can cycle through the thread pool, choosing one thread each day to put in the ToD section.
3. We can still nominatɘ threads to CQ, and she can either do a one-time inƨertion as ToD, or can also add them into the thread pool.
4. If there arɘ no new nominations, CQ can ƨimply continue to cycle through the threads in thread pool.
