| Bring back Hot Topic?? |
| << < (4/5) > >> |
| Ian Sane:
I like Khushrenada's idea about general topics like those blog examples he used. But I think current news should also occasionally be the topic. If both are possibilities then that makes for more possible topics. I like the idea of prizes though I won one of them once so I supposed I may be biased. ;) If it's a cost issue I have no objection with no prizes but otherwise why not have prizes? Who doesn't like winning stuff? I suggest that joke posts not be allowed for it though as that kind of goes against the whole point of having a hot topic. You should be expected to provide some sort of opinion. |

Impose a 250 word maximum post length. 4. Ask people to only respond if they have something worthwhile to say. --- End quote --- That could fix most of the internets messages boards! |

What the heck? I thought I killed this thread. Let it rest in peace already. |
| Stratos:
You didn't kill it. I read your whole mega-post. If you write well I'll read the whole post and even if someone didn't write one very well I will still read it to try and understand what it being said. I like your thoughts about the matter, Khush. I never partook in these since I was merely a lurker when they came and went, but hearing about them has piqued my interest in them. Prizes can very easily ruin things like this. The closest thing to a prize should be seeing your quotes placed in the article. If someone needs a prize to motivate them to think and converse then I question whether or not they would have anything unique or relevant to the topic at hand. I could be proven wrong, but that's a general rule of thumb I've seen. |
