I have been considering doing some sort of clean up already.
I had thought of asking Spark how difficult it would be to add a sub-forum page ( like "Around the Grinder") named " FAQ - Check Here for often discussed topics and useful links". This would allow a single click to open an area where we could move information and create a link library for the many good threads containing charts and info. It would work best if it was a read only area, not a discussion page. Regular stickies on the "Shop Talk" page would be for the few threads with a real need to be there, like "Rules and posting advise", threads that are a current group project ( KITH, Collaborations, etc.), and a safety sticky where old threads can be linked to about respirators, dust collection systems, etc.
In the mean time, I plan on condensing the current stickies a bit into a smaller group. I will move all the "How To" types of stickies into a "Good Information ,Tutorials, and How-To info Here" single sticky. It will have a topic list that will give the links to the current and future tutorials. I will also create a FAQ sticky, and any thread that seems to be a good topic for that area will be listed in it. All anyone has to do is request a mod to move a thread to the appropriate sticky and we will do it ( if suitable).
This way we will only have a couple of stickies, but a lot more information available in them.
Please let me know by PM/email if you have any threads or links you wish added to these two new stickies......but wait until after the changes are made.
I will follow this thread to keep track of your ideas and comments.
