Day #12 June 3, 2011
Sorry for not posting yesterday. I had a huge headache that wouldn't go away so I decided to take a short nap. Turns out my short nap turned into a 3 hour snooze and, yesterday is now today. Anyways, my post this time will be significantly short than usual as I really should get back to bed.
Today's post jumps from what I talked a bit about in Day #10's post. I mentioned that there was a thread that had 0 responses. That thread was made by Flower. What I like about it is that the title was properly formatted with the [suggestion] tag, it's to the point, and lacks an abrasive tone.
This post was created 6 days after the post I'd mentioned in Day #10 by Nicodemus. As to why there was no response to it I could only guess at 2 possible reasons.Originally Posted by Flower
1.) It fell off the first page of the UI forums.
- This seems to be a death sentence for almost any topic that isn't in General Discussion. General Discussion can usually survive the 2nd page, but topics begin to hit the graveyard at page 2 on any other forum it seems. The bright side is that there's only 10 pages to look into on the UI forums. You could see that as a positive in some lights or negative, but it certainly makes it easier to see if there's already been a thread made on the subject you're talking about.
2.) People already felt they've put in their two cents on the issue.
- Once someone has already posted about an issue once, they feel that's all that's necessary. Granted at the time of my post yesterday, there were less posts in Nicodemus's thread than there were thread topics in UI on Linkshell tools. I haven't yet figured out what the oldest post is in regards to this issue.
As I've said before, Linkshell tools is one of the few thread topics in the UI forums which I've noticed there to be multiple iterations. The main reason as to why it gets repeated creations I could only chalk up to people not being able to find threads on the subject on the first page. If we stay vigilant on a thread topic I think it has a higher chance of getting a rep/dev response. Regardless, I am a firm believe that this particular issue doesn't need to be dragged out for as long as it's slated too. I don't see why this couldn't be included into 1.18 as we've seen changes happen quickly and without provocation on other UI related features.
Good night. Even though it's actually morning here.
