-- Posted by iwashere85 at 9:24 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 Alex's Challenge, 08! Eric gave me an idea, and I thought I should share it with you guys. =) I turned off my fresh topics. I am going to go through the forums helping people out.   Too much of the fresh topics is DTRM, and Alex can't support in DTRM. I am going to attack Teen/ College Emotional Depression and the Eating Disorder forums first. My Challenge To You! I want you to do the same as me, take that Fresh Topic list off, and lets hit the forums! Edit: Yeah, The new topics who need help may not get to as fast, but those nice members who have their fresh topics up will be glad to help them.     -- Posted by hawaiinchuck at 9:27 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 Yeah man, i'll do that. -- Posted by branflakes at 9:35 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 I saw this and it is a great idea. I just like to organize the forums and fresh topics so doing this might hinder that. I'll probably try it soon though! -- Posted by hithere at 9:40 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 i go through the school and dating forums at least twice a day anyways. fresh topics bore me at a certain point. -- Posted by PrincessLillaMarie at 9:41 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 Sounds like a great Idea. I'll do it.   -- Posted by rinni at 9:59 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 I like how Alex speaks in third person :) But yes I shall do that as well. -- Posted by hawaiinchuck at 10:08 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 This place is a LOT better when the fresh topics are gone. -- Posted by MariJani at 1:21 am on Feb. 16, 2008 When holly is sober she wil do this....I feel mmorl when I 'he'p' pple hwen i am drunk. -- Posted by penguincube at 2:55 am on Feb. 16, 2008 Alternatively, you may want to switch your Fresh Topics to only show  Tech or College topics (whichever one you are more inclined at responding to).  This way, no topics from the main boards are clogging up from your side bar and distracting you, but people needing Tech or College help still will not have to wait for you to eventually go over there, sometime next month. I have turned off my Fresh Topics on several occasions and have found it to be very beneficial. -- Posted by iwashere85 at 10:32 am on Feb. 16, 2008 I have mine at only tech, They can get quick help. -- Posted by DefaultTo0 at 11:46 am on Feb. 16, 2008 A terrific idea, although as a moderator it's not really feasible for me.  Need to check new topics etc. -- Posted by penguincube at 1:00 pm on Feb. 16, 2008 Quote: from DefaultTo0 at 2:46 pm on Feb. 16, 2008 A terrific idea, although as a moderator it's not really feasible for me.  Need to check new topics etc. I get this, but there are probably 5-10 other moderators online with all fresh topics enabled, as well as 100 members, who can submit misconduct reports.  I was a moderator for years before fresh topics were invented and survived just fine. -- Posted by MariJani at 6:36 pm on Feb. 16, 2008 WHAT A COOL TOPIC TITLE -- Posted by iwashere85 at 10:35 am on Feb. 17, 2008 Quote: from MariJani at 9:36 pm on Feb. 16, 2008 WHAT A COOL TOPIC TITLE   -- Posted by Periwinkle at 8:33 am on Feb. 18, 2008 But I like my fresh topics :( Actually, I hardly ever click them I spend more time going through the forums. -- Posted by Tavis at 6:04 pm on Feb. 19, 2008 I'm actually going to take this challenge on. I don't know what I'll be like, but I know I'll just be posting here like I am now
