Permanent Discussion Boards
By Eloquence , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Wed Dec 20, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST

In addition to sections and topics, I would like to see something else implemented in Scoop, discussion boards. These would differ from stories in several ways: No story, but a description of the board instead Automatic comment paging, with 100 threads per page Defaults: nested, sort by date - independently set from story defaults

The site admin could create boards in the same way he creates topics or sections, with another textarea for describing the board's content.
Reasons:
Stories expire, boards don't. They would be permanent places for meta discussion, flaming, technical arguments etc. On iA, for example, I would like to have a permanent technical discussion board and a permanent meta board.
Possible workaround:
Create some hidden SID and link it in the navigation bar.
Disadvantages:
Options cannot be set independently of story options and boards become unusable as number of comments increases.

Troll Talk?

But for something that will actually benefit the scoop community? ;)

something like this be attached to the story moderation queue would be handy. That way it's only open to registered users and it'd be a handy place to spout off one liners, get questions answered or such. And also, maybe only make the comments in such a place be rate-able only by trusted users on a black/white scale. (either 0 or no rating, to prevent spam but not discourage users from posting for fear of <fanfare>The Almighty Low Rating</fanfare>)

There are hidden sids, as well you cn use diaries to make a permanent board. What I think would be useful is if these things can be hotlisted and users can share their hotlists around.

Greetings! I agree with author, but still think, that there are far more better platforms that permanent discussion boards. One of them is WP blogs, where you can order custom essays at handmadewritings.com!
