How unfortunate, that I'm not sure where to post on my own board.

We're posting about part 123 in the area set aside for specific chapters.  Where do we hang out waiting for the new part?  We did it under the "ITL General Discussion" area last week, but we didn't do much talking about ITL.

Suggestions for where to hang out this week?

Matthew, you could just have a new section in ITL named 'waiting for the chapters' or whatnot... I dunno, it's your board!  Give us some of your creative juices and thrust with the ideas!

Okay, that sentence ended up in a different place than it began in...

But you know what I'm saying lol.

Maybe?

 Hmmm Decisions, decisions.

Personally, I think it should be in the How Was Your Day subforum. It's not about the story itself, it's a place to just hang out while waiting eagerly for the chapter and clickclickclick). More importantly, having it somewhere completely different from the ITL subforum would help separate the 'click' traffic from the 'story' traffic and keep things organized.

I also think we should have just one thread that would be used every week. Otherwise, a new thread every week would crowd the How Was Your Day subforum.  Geek

Okay, after some more thought, I think I'm going to go with the idea of making a new sub-forum, because I don't think it belongs in the sub-forum "How was your day" because even though the "clicking threads" are usually filled with non-ITL related things (like what we're doing to distract ourselves from clicking), they're still a kind of support thread for those of us who go a little crazy waiting for ITL.  It's just too ITL-related to go into the "How was your day" sub-forum. 

But like you said, putting it in "ITL General Discussion" might not be the best idea, since ITL isn't the only thing talked about. 

I think Vani had a good idea: "Waiting for the Chapters."  Or you could call it whatever you wanted, like "The Friday Wait Room" or "Refreshers Not-So-Anonymous" or "The Friday Support Group" or "The Friday Lounge" or... well, you get my drift  Cheesy

(One of the main reasons I vote for a new sub-forum is because I think having only one Friday thread would be insane to moderate and check on, since people veer off topic--like how the "122... Click?" thread needed to be broken off into "Hitari, Anosanim, and Talin" thread.  It would just be madness if it were only one thread.)

A whole subforum just for clickclickclick threads? That seems rather superfluous. *shrugs*
Besides, the Refreshers can hang out here, no? In the hang-out subforum.

But that's the point of putting it somewhere different than the ITL discussions. So people can go actually go to the ITL subforum and discuss the story there. Then there would be no need to break down the thread into different threads...
Having a subforum for that would also solve that problem, but I don't really see the point... The Friday subforum would just end up being a new hang-out subforum (which we already have).

Hmm... I see what you mean.  That would be problematic.  This might be solved with a little trial and error, then. 

Matthew, how about moving the "It's Friday!!!" post from "ITL General Discussion" to "How was your day?" and seeing how it goes?  If the thread fills up continually this Friday and next Friday, fulfilling its purpose, then it should stay.  If problems arise within the thread, or if people show a tendency to make new posts for every new Friday chapter elsewhere, then it can be dealt with during the trial period to work out the kinks, or another solution might have to be used.  What think you?

Hmnn... I would like to have a specific area to know where to go for fridays. I know I posted earlier today in the thread from last week. I'm totally on board for this:

My personal fav is "The Friday Support Group"  Cheesy

Let's try that.  Y'all let me know if it's not working for you, and we'll see if we need to try something else.

Off to move the thread.
