Hello everyone!
First of all, thanks for clicking this thread - it's very important
We in the Staff have noticed that the Black Star Lounge always seems to be the board that gets quite messy from time to time mostly due to duplicate threads and the like. If you all remember a while ago, we put all favourite song/album discussion in one thread to solve the issue of having multiple niche threads for individual albums as it cluttered up the board. Sadly, due to the amount of threads of that nature that were created (and subsequent ones after the megathreads creation) it just ended up in one, big, messy thread with no clear direction on structure which has lead people away from even using the thread, and that's understandable.
We're making this thread as we can't fully agree what do about this issue - but what we are proposing is that we delete the old megathread (you will lose your posts in the thread because of this) and start all over with a fresh one - this time one that is clear for what it's purpose is instead of it just being a scattered mess of multiple old threads intended for different albums. Not only would it help Staff keep the board tidy, but it would make the thread attractive to use.
However, this thread is also serving as a reminder about the Black Star Lounge - please be careful when making new threads, always look to make sure they haven't already been made. If you are making ones of a similar nature then it's probably best to keep them all in one thread. We also created a new quiz board due to so many threads of that nature being made in the BSL. Please try to keep the board tidy, it creates a lot of work and ideally, it shouldn't need a clean-up every few months. I do want to stress that this reminder isn't targeting anyone in particular, it's a forum wide reminder
This thread will remain open to post any suggestions that aren't on the poll, or to ask any questions. The poll lasts for a week.
Thank you for reading!
