Major Event Threads - Sticky or not!

[stuck]

I like to stir up crap, it's a little slow in here lately. It's been brought up that maybe major event threads could be sticky. Of course if there's more than a few, this will not work. We're not talking things like monthly meetings etc., but more like multi-city seasonal events. Any thoughts...?

Event threads get very confusing. Even more so, as plans change. You wind up combing up and down threads to find scattered details. How about an events calender with events linked to info sheets for times, dates, contacts, directions, and lodging info. I like discussing events on threads so I am only suggesting a change. Only the addition of a single place to find info on events. I would be happy to host and maintain a calender of events on Hi-Per Rods.

Why not use the Texas Cobra Web site!

Set up a calander of events there!

[Boudy]

I agree, that is the best place to have one. I've always assumed that since it wasn't there already, that nobody wanted to mess with it.

Does anyone ever read the guest book? I just noticed it and there was a visitor in Feb asking if we had a calendar they could refer to.

Guest book......What guest book? I didn't know we had a guest book.

As for the sticky:
If you go to All Cobra Talk, there is always so many sticky that you have to scan down half the page to get to anything else. I personally don't like that, but I will agree to what every one else wants. It just seems like regular threads get lost on the second or third page very quickly because the top of the page is filled up with stickies.

If the event is important to enough people and there is activity on it, it will stay at or near the top all by its self without any intervention on anyones part. At least they have so far. There has been some events get passed to the second page, but I would think it would be the organizers duty to keep us all reminded by simply logging on to that thread and putting TTT if nothing else. If we have a seperate calender we will have to look at more than one place for info on any event that is coming, I think.

Just my .01 but doesn't really matter to me. Just a thought.

the weather people don't like cobras on sunday, they say the "R" word. Saturday should be ok, looks good now. I would be willing if the weather cooperates, I need to get some seat time.
