Persistent 99 developing outflow and.....

[all_we_know_is_FALLING]

It's just a thread. Not a big deal.

Exactly, Steve and x-y-no.

I thought I was going to read a thread about the outflow and instead, it's a thread of members complaining about the thread. If you don't want to read or post in here, skip it. There's no sense in complaining about it and ruining the thread. dixiebreeze's post was perfectly fine...everyone else made it off topic.

Actually, we're trying to get away from the whole "official" thread thing anyway. While some members may prefer one gigantic thread, we get more feedback from those who don't. We have to consider and remember that most people don't sit on here for hours and come on a few times a day (or more, or less) to catch up and get some quick info about a particular system. Weeding through long threads hinder that, and catchy, informative subject titles help members choose exactly what they want to read about.

Here's a post I made about a week ago, regarding this subject. It's about Atlantic waves because that was the thread it was posted in. It was then added to the rules that Aquawind posted. I guess it was overlooked by everyone.

You can continue to post in this thread if you'd like, but we've decided not to have an "official" thread for all Atlantic waves. Although some may like it this way, many members don't want to read an entire thread about all waves and would prefer to see a thread title that captures their attention about a particular wave. Also, we'd really like to get away from everyone thinking they have to post in this "official" thread, etc. If you think it is significant enough for a new thread, it probably is. Everyone doesn't read every post in every thread, so let's also not jump on people who happen to repeat something that someone else already said. Obvious duplicate threads may still be locked though.

I agree. Being a mod is time consuming. Too much babysitting for me. I appreciate their work.
