Permanent threads

[narcimund 0]

Some topics keep recurring as either newcomers need information or old questions get new answers. An excellent example is the refreshed "rigs on airlines" question. It's both annoying to see it rehashed and necessary to keep sharing experiences and ideas.

A way to treat these perpetual informational threads more deliberately than boobies threads might give us all a way to share real information more effectively.

One method would be to develop something like a seriously moderated FAQ page for each topic that deserved it. Rather than burying these questions in constantly cycling forums, let there be a permanent location for those discussions, and even an expert-vetted summary page kept up as the situation changes.

Ditto with "how do I make links clicky" and "what first canopy should I buy"

Sangiro is working on this actually, check out this thread.

From that thread it sounds more like Sangiro started to work on it then let the idea drop.

If I'm proving there's nothing truly new under the sun, so be it. I still think this would be useful.

I don't think the idea has been dropped. There's a lot of work involved in making it happen, and I think it just got pushed to the back burner while HH was moving across continents and resettling.
