    a thought on keeping it a bit more organized in here, and so that it doesn't look like people are spamming out threads.

    how about, you make 1 thread for your poems. 1 for short stories, that kinda thing. keep the writting style sep in threads, but update in one. just add the last update date in the thread topic name then. (you can do this through editting your threads title. if not, just ask and i'll figure out a way that works.) as much as we all want little shrines to each poem we write, this will make the area look a little bit better and keep people from looking spamy. this will also be the only instance of double, triple+ posting i'll overlook, as sometimes, you just want each poem or what have you to be seperated out from another post. i'm not going to merge current threads unless asked, due to the confusion that could come from the comments being mixed to to ordering by date posted.

    thoughts? i wouldn't mind seeing this being tried for awhile too, then commented on.

    I agree but I don't think the edit will work for nonmoderators. I'll check. yeah the date didn't appear. Maybe it needs go before hand. Hmmm. I have a poem I can share I guess. I'll put it up. Yep before hand. So how should that go about. Put a poem up and add a date? Or short story?

    Then BB can put threads together. (That will be a lot of work it would be up to you BB) I wouldn't worry about dates as long as everything is together.

    I like this idea. It helps clean up a now active forum.

    lol i guess either i edit, or people just regularly check the thread? i guess if the date is wanted, and it's not like, every day (this also applies to everyother XD), i can edit a date updated into thread titles.
    and thanks for testing that basher, kinda hard to test something like that myself nowadays o_O;

    i'm not merging existing threads, as i said before, the dating on the comments would through reading it out of wack greatly and confusion will be had. i mean for new posts/threads.

    Awww what's wrong with confusing people? lol. When I put more than one poem on a thread is that the sort of thing you're talking about?
