Heyyyyyyyy everyone! Tomorrow is the last day I'm working from this site. My coworkers are making me go to an impromptu going away party. Saturday I'll drive to Tbilisi and get to have a girl's night with my friends.

Hi 20-somethings and former 20-somethings! We are going to move this thread to the Groups board and I'm going to ask if you'd start future group threads there, as that's where daily/weekly/regular affinity threads go. Thanks for your understanding.
ETA: I think Lifestyle would work but if you prefer something else, let me know.

Hi Becca-
Sounds good. I'm new here, and don't know how to go about accessing that.
Thanks

I'd actually prefer this wasn't moved to a groups thread - I won't end up following it there. How is it determined whether something should be moved off the main board? How can we have an ongoing conversation similar to the online dating thread without it having to be moved? Should we just keep commenting on one thread (instead of starting new daily threads), or will that end up being moved too?
ETA: Not trying to be nasty or confrontational - just wondering if there's a way to keep this on the general discussion page. If that's a firm no, then I guess it can be moved, just afraid others won't find it there.

beave246 It's a link on the home page, plus there will be a placeholder here.

Anything that is an affinity thread (we all have X in common) that's started on any kind of regular basis goes to those boards. If this one is allowed, why should any of them have to go to the other board, you know? And then the General board would be all affinity threads. If you look, the 50's folks have their own board, the 60's and working are on Lifestyle, etc. The mods discussed and we agree this fits into that category. |

Totally get that, by why is the Online Dating thread an outlier? |

The Online Dating thread is one single thread, not a recurring thing.
You can bookmark your specific board, so you can easily go there to check in.

by why is the Online Dating thread an outlier? also a few OLDers wanted it moved (me included!) but it was put up for a vote for the entire board and pretty much everybody wanted it to stay, but I really, really don't want to rehash that. it's really none of my business where you put your 20s thread, but fwiw in general ITA with the mods in that groups is the place to be for these things, including OLD, simply for the organizational aspect. I probably would have stayed out of this until I saw the OLD comment.  |

There are two things that make this different, to me:
a. The affinity is about what people are rather than what they do.
b. It's something that had its own board on the old site, which is really the principle that guided the organization in the first place when we set it up.
As Alfa said, you can bookmark the thread which gives you a notification when someone posts to it. This will work best if you do a monthly rather than a daily thread.
Here's ProBoards' instructions: To bookmark a thread, first navigate to a thread on the message board that you find interesting and would like to bookmark. At the top left corner of the thread, just above where it says Author, you'll see the bookmark button. The button can also be found directly below the last post in the lower left corner.
When the bookmark button is clicked, the icon will change to remove bookmark indicating the thread has been added to your message board bookmarks collection. Click the button again if you want to remove it from your bookmarks list. Once you've bookmarked a thread, you can view it by visiting your forum profile page and clicking the Bookmarks link.

K. I have more thoughts about this, but it's 10000% not worth arguing.
Thanks for the explanations.

And yes, I voted to move the dating thread and lost. I also think the YNAB threads and a couple of others should move, but they don't strictly fall into the guidelines I mentioned above, so I haven't cared too much about it.

I also voted to move the dating thread. It made so much sense from an organizational and privacy standpoint.

I can't because it will do it for everything on Lifestyles. I can move it to Members Only where they don't have comments, would that work?

beautifulmess Or we could give you your own board the way the 50's folks have?

beautifulmess Or we could give you your own board the way the 50's folks have? Hmm. I guess let's let it sit as is for now - maybe once we see if there is continued interest in this thread now that it's been moved, we can decide in a few weeks if we think a new board is worth it. Thank you for dealing with me |

I so appreciate what the mods do and totally understand the reasoning, but I don't like this thread being over here. JMO. I'm just here to complain.

Yeah I don't think this thread will survive over here. It's actually kind of a PIA to get to. I know we can bookmark it and blah blah blah but it's still annoying.
Thoughts on an actual "Used to Be 20s Board" on the main page? I mean, we'd have to come up with a better name, I guess we are really the 30s Board now. But if it's a main board it's easier to find and we can start multiple threads. Food for thought!
