Thanks! If you're fine with it, I'd like to edit this post as well to add links if I find them later on.

[AlbinoVampire]

Yea! Feel free to do so. I'll add more batches semi-daily. Also, could you indicate which ones you read and/or lock?

Oh dear, other mods are going to see this? I swear, I repent every sin I've ever committed against them... (Yea Right, They aren't getting their ingame heads back!)

[AlbinoVampire]

oh, question:

How many signs should be the cut off, giving a topic "OST Immunity"

Not sure what you mean there.

I'd like to edit the title because I told the others about this.

[AlbinoVampire]

Oh, Yea. Edit the title. I thought you meant the post.

I didn't know you could edit titles as a mod.
What other secret powers have they given you?
X-ray vision? An army of exploding hamsters like Silbanoshi? UL BF like Ben Cousins? Or shadeshooters ability to be everywhere at once?

[Provi]

Hehehe. I can edit both so that will save us time.

Also, feel free to invite others to look for the originals - I'm sure a lot of folks around here would like to see less copies, and more creativity.

[Provi]

Hold your horses:

4 pages is the current max I will go back to close a redundant topic.

So you should only collect the topics that fulfill those two points above.

I'll then take it upon myself to find and close the redundant threads within reason.

[AlbinoVampire]

Okay, Work is beginning... I am finding links to the largest and most well laid out OST topics to act as our "collaberation threads." It's going to take awhile, so bear with me...

[Provi]

Great job so far. You should ask around and get some helpers to speed up the process.

[AlbinoVampire]

Glad to hear that! And I'll have the portal update added hopefully tonight, at worst tommorow afternoon. As to the helpers, I'll try asking a few players. Geo and Guido might help...

I've noticed a lot of locked topics, so I can see that you've been busy as well...

[Gen Geo]

Whozawa?

[Provi]

No sweat. Quality over quantity.

Perhaps you should look at the most common ones first, and then work your way down according to that priority.

[AlbinoVampire]

Hey, Could you add the link to this to your sig? or post the link in topics you close so people actually readwhat the OST's are and contribute to the topics I've linked?

[AlbinoVampire]

Aslo, I'm having trouble finding topics for some of the OST's. Should I start threads for discusions of them and link them here (I.E, Female Heroes)?

If so, is there a special designation I should give them so that you or another mod will know they are connected with an officially sanctioned topic?

Many of the topics either have only very bad threads, or Don't have any good ones that are recent.

Example:

Thread Name: Discusion of the Merits of Female Heroes (Note, would be put in proper format when posted)

1st Post:

Hey People! This is a topic that the mods will be viewing and is being set up so people can post their opinions of adding female heroes or any ideas for them.
Please keep your language clean, and do not troll or flame.
Constructive criticism is appreciated, so please critique each other. I will add stats up here as the community determines them.

Post #2

I think this is a great idea, sign/

Post #3

Bad idea, would lead to inapproprite contents...

-------

I'm sure you get the general idea of what I'm asking about. Questions?

[Provi]

If you are having trouble choosing between a candidate thread that has a great discussion and lots of supporters, and another which is stated better, please link them next to each other so they can be compared.

Also, the directions above look too complex to be attract help. I personally think you should just ask them to add links for you to judge.

[AlbinoVampire]

#1 Sorry, I guess I did a bad job explaining myself. Some of the topics don't have any threads that are recent, good, or have lots of supporters. Should I make a new thread for those topics that would act as a place to get people to collaberate on the OST, rather than have amny bad spam threads, and no good ones? Obviously, some would not get this treatment because its better that they remain "dead" (1-hit sniper anyone?)

If you want, I could try it with a "test thread" on one topic and see where it leads. If itturns out to work, I'd add more, and if it goes bust you could just lock and we'd never hearfrom it again (I hope. Course, you never know what lurks at the last page og the suggestions forum...)

#2. Can you add this topic to your sig? I'd like people to eventually start reading this...

#3. You mentioned earlier that other mods are going to be reading this, does this mean that I should change my format of thread at all?

[Gen Geo]

I might help you with this...

If I come across any big thread with the topics above, I'll say like:

OST - Topic link

PS: Which one do you want me to put in my sig, the old one or this one?

[Provi]

Put what in your sig, your finds?

Might as well just post the link in a comment here and Albino or I will add it.

[AlbinoVampire]

@Geo
For now, keep the old one until this one is semi-finished.

@Provi
I'm going to do a test thread with female heroes. So please try not to lock it until we see how it goes. If it works, I'll add it to the list and use it as the redirect for the topic.
