Hey!
I just thought I'd let you all know we have updated the policy on chat threads. We will allow them to go on monthly so a new one will need to be started at the beginning of the month. However, if they get to 200 pages in the month they to be restarted at that time unless it's already within a day or so of the end of the month.
Hope that makes sense.

So it's 200 pages now? Not 100?
And if they don't get to 200 in a month, we just start a new one for the new month?
correct :)

Clarify one thing for me though please. As an example, the geezer thread is now at page 40. Does that mean we need to start a new thread on Aug. 1st even though this may not even be to 100 pages?
That is right, and it's 200 pages in a month now, whichever comes first. :)

Kath, will the PFY threads remain unaffected by this new policy?
Yes, they remain unaffected. PFY threads are a whole other ballgame, the folder was set up so they'd go forever.

Kath,
Since we get "chatty" in almost all the threads here in Southern Gospel, are they all considered "chat" threads? How do you decide what is a "chat" thread and what's not???

That's a good question Donna! As I mentioned in another thread, I would hate to see all of the posts get lost when a thread about a group or artist gets to a certain number of pages.
Also, what is a PFY thread?

HERE is the link to the PFY threads.

Well, as Kate said earlier
quote:
Clarification:
I consider a chat thread to be one with no real topic--ie, you cannot post off-topic in a chat thread, because there is no real topic to stick to.
One thing that needs to be said here is that there is a great tendency for us to make *all* threads chat threads.
We do need to limit posts in regular threads to the topic of the OP and take the chat to the two chat threads

If I don't bug Kath with all the questions I ask, I'm sure you didn't...

That certainly clears it up for me! I had not seen Kate' post in the Geezer thread.
