Embedded forums idea

Would it be an idea to have embedded fora in, say, Afterhours - fora where there are a large amount of stickies? The ninja/funneh/rogues gallery threads are great and should remain stickied but it seems a little annoying having them always in the actual board to me. ie- there could be many more stickies and it would take away from the AH board.

How about an embedded forum for funny/cool stickies in Afterhours?

not a bad idea... since we've only just kinda discovered this possibility we'll have a think about it. A "museum" of the best of AH would be fun

Perhaps an overall 'board' of funny threads (granted most of them will come from AH anyway), like they have on thedvdforums, where people can't reply....

the only problem with that is that it would end the thread if people cant react to it.

We do have a Boards Funneh area (in the boards.ie nav) but its not that big.

I'd like to do something like that though... just need to think about how...

Why not have an "Elephant grave Yard" of 5 star threads from the Humour and After Hours boards ?

I think I've missed something. Embedded Forums (or "fora" as I like to say)? Someone explain please.

You'll have to forgive me, my IQ drops on weekends. I'm just getting the komplett board. What's so special about that?

I forgot to say - if it is made, maybe all threads on the forum should be stickied.

We the BLP fully support this initiative. We feel it is addition that will makes boards a more pleasant and user friendly place.

Therefore we The BLP grant our approval. If an Admin could now make it so.

But we the BLP should point out that we also can no longer see the embedded forum for DHL on Komp forum. We are on WIN2k running IE6. Last windows update was run last night. We the BLP have nothing to hide from Microsoft.

We would ask on behalf of the boardsie populace that the Admins look into fixing this straight away as it is obviously causing some members great distress.

Many Thanks
The Boards Liberation Party
