Definitive threads no longer pinned?


Recommended Posts

K, it's just lately I've noticed a slight increase in the number of threads created that could have been answered just by looking at the threads listed.

The ones I listed were all pinned for around 6 months for so, if not longer. So obviously some one thought they deserved to be.

That's not what I meant :p I saw an awful lot of [Definitive] threads for a while there that I think people thought were going to be pinned just b'c of the word definitive. Those ones were important and I had that question too, which Keldyn answered.

Didn't mean to start anything :p

One slight suggestion - how about splitting software discussion & assistance into 2 forums - Discussion & Assistance?

As it is, discussion threads tend to get bumped down rapidly by all the assistance questions, hence causing members (who don't actively keep track of the forum) to create all those discussion threads all over again.

11. Neowin requires that members respect the decision of moderators. Threads and posts questioning the actions or decisions of forum moderations will be deleted on sight, and the appropriate action taken (up to and including forum bans) against the thread starter and/or participants. However, as a member you reserve the right to PM any moderator or administrator regarding action taken at Neowin.

why ask why?

At the time maybe, but I think they outlived their usefulness. Besides, "definitive" is a relative term. :D

their creator was banned. :shifty:

they just lost importance.

besides, how many people would make new posts and ask the same questions?

Yeah, they really weren't useful. There is no 'Definitive' anything. People will use what they feel they need.

Curiosity.

The point is now they are gone there has been an influx in the number of threads created that are answered in those "Definitive" threads.
