Would it be possible for a mod or mods to put a date in the titles on the new information or video threads in WTAHNN? It would be easier to keep track of what is new or old. Just a suggestion.
But if the date that this information was first posted were in the thread title it would serve to put things into perspective on how relevant that thread is. So that way a thread with the name NEW BEACHCLIPS! that is actually from say, 2006, wouldn't confuse some people who aren't exactly as with it and check the first post.
Just explaining, seems a decent enough idea, if a tad tedious
I can understand where you're coming from. If I see that the "new video on u2.com" thread has new posts on it, I may skip over it thinking that people are still replying to old conversations, or that the thread's devolved into some random tangent.
One option is to start a brand new thread each time a new video is posted (for example), dating the thread title, and dedicating all discussion in that thread solely to the idea that's first floated in that thread. The obstacles to this, however, would be that 1). there would be plenty of people complaining about the clutter of so many threads and asking that all somewhat related threads be merged, and 2). just about every thread ends up devloving into some tangential discussion anyway.
I think we're left with the least of all evils, which is just skimming through new posts in all the threads you might be remotely interested in.
