This surely must have been suggested before on countless forums, but a forum should set a limit on replies to an orginal thread. As most realize, the threads inevitably "go off on a tangent" after the first or second page. Anyone wishing to extend the thread along new lines should just start a new thread! No one should be forced to read through three pages of replies to pick up on the gist of a topic.
Thank you
Why, that is the dumbest idea that I have ever heard of!
It is better to have one long thread that I don't have to read than 37 stupid one page threads.

В большинстве случаев, когда мы отклоняемся от темы, она становится интереснее. Но я думаю, что тоже есть много ненужной ерунды на этом форуме. Но это просто жизнь, привыкнись к ней.

And how many messages do you thing would be ok for the topic? Considering the fact that there are several thousands users on this forum and the possibility that they all may find it necessary to express themselves on some interesting topic you will get the longest thread ever.
I think that's a bad idea. A very bad idea.
Topic drift is what life is all about.
Yes. And I suggest to drift further. I have got a pretty ('dumb' in your slang?) idea. Imafine that we have a "Thanks" button to thank a user who was the most helpful in some issue (since it's a language-mastering forum). We could have a statistics page where everyone might be able to surf and see who is the real savior. It is a lame suggestion, bur may be we can think about something more specific? The feature advantageous for all?

There is no voting pole, Dobry. :)
Anyway, what about my suggestion?
This could be a good idea, I believe. It's generally called 'reputation'. What you do is you choose either '+' or '-' near a user's nickname, thus increasing or decreasing his reputation. Although the outcome of this enhancement is rather predictable because on most forums the most active members usually run up the highest score.Quote:

You're drifting. :wink:Quote:

Rtyom... the "popularity vote"... I'm not sure that it's a good thing... probably because I would be at the bottom :lol: .
But I think it's possibly a very good idea that should be discussed in the forum, and then considered by MasterAdmin... using it could be very helpful to new, and old, forum users.
Leave all as it is.Quote:
