Can I make a suggestion?
Look, I understand that it's not "the rules," and all.....but considering the fact that this is a new forum, could the mods consider showing a little leniency on the 30-day thread bump rule?
A good example of what I'm talking about is the "Red hot Vyvian" review by flyinghillbilly in the Indy reviews section - a review moved from StL to Sgf/Jop this week. Being a new forum, we've gotten some new/increased traffic, and some discussion sparked that is new for our area. In the review I'm referring to, yes, it was over 30-days old and got bumped by a question....but 4 posts later, it was a relavent, CURRENT discussion that got closed on a letter-of-the-law ruling that I believe doesn't factor in the spirit of said law. (Actually, the rule in question basically gives that caveat as a potential legitimate reason to bump a 30+ thread)
Ultimately, my request is this.....Just let us play with our new forum for a couple of weeks. Maybe send an email to rookies, warning that this latitude will only be given for a short time so we avoid creating bad habits in them.....but just let the forum equalize itself.
That's my $0.02, anyway......
