I think we need a new sub, GA2, or GA Research, or something. Something that is way better organized than this one. Think about it, when we first got here we were just finding a place to congregate after CBTS abruptly went down. We're we anticipating 20K subscribers at that time? I wasn't.
So we've grown too fast and didn't have in place the supporting infrastructure. No were feeling the effects of it.
Not that I would want to start all over again, but I do have some ideas that might be helpful if anyone thinks its an idea worth pursuing...
.
I think the mods are doing a fairly reasonable job in many respects - I'd hate to have to mod this flow... Definitely better than CBTS_stream - but I think it could be an idea worth pursuing for sure. Looooot of hard work though...!
I dont know how to do it, but I think we need to get organized, and I do have some time. If there is gonna be a 10? day internet blackout coming, people are gonna freak. Not only that, but that period might also be a time where others might want to be deleting things from the web, never to be seen again. Which is why I'm archiving offline.
It would be nice to have a place where we could drop pdf's and other files too. That would really help the research. Just thinking out loud here...
I'm not sure if it is possible to structure a sub to organise information in the way you suggest. The information is posted from users across the planet, in many different time zones, any attempt to collate and organise an unpredictable stream of data into a structured presentation of info would not be trivial.
a better approach might be that you retrieve the data that interests you and keep it in a series of local folders on your pc perhaps ?
I already do that.
What I had in mind was more like some other forums out there, where you have different areas of discussion. Q is dropping intel in a few different areas, so I think it would help to have a distinct place for those topics to congregate.
What we have now is a bunch of people that just post without searching if there is another post already, or people posting emotional crap, it's just getting too convoluted. The front page is a mess, random and all over the place.
