I don't know if she has ever posted anything, but she's about! That's the best guideline for me to behave a bit here! (I would be so red-faced if Mama Kulash read something that I could write about, for example, Damian's fine looking ass, if you know what I mean.)

Nope. Not a bit of it, Amber. You're going to have to find a better incentive for good behavior, that one doesn't work (not for me , anyway).

It's so hard to tell, sometimes, what does and doesn't deserve its own thread.  Like, for example, the Range Rover parade.  When I originally posted an article about it, I thought it was a little one day collaboration.  We all know how big it got. 

Personally, I kind of hate the epic "Television/Movies/Commercials" and "A few good articles" threads to begin with.  If I want to know if something's been posted before, I do not under any circumstances want to wade through 38 pages of stuff to find it.  So I sympathize.  As long as we're making a good effort to find something *before* posting, then I don't really see the need to jump down people's throats.  Awhile back there was a problem where I would post something and someone else would post it like a day or 5 later (and this was something that both n00bs and people who'd been here longer than I did, so it's not just a rant against newbies). We *do* need to do something about the search function, but unless anyone has a direct line to Aross, well, we might be SOL.

As always, these bumps of this thread are not to make anyone feel bad.  They are to keep us in our spot as the bestest fan community on the web, period.

Happy New Year!

I wasn't gonna say anything, and I probably still shouldn't, but I did post the Milwaukee vid already. It went up on the TV shows, movies commercials etc. thread on 5/20/10 since there was no reason to make a thread for that Milwaukee show. And it was within the last 5 pages of the thread.

I apologize for being snarky. 

And Christel, I don't recall you posting the vid. I do remember someone else posting it in a different thread a few days after I posted it. Mainly because I remember responding to that post.

I meant the 5 next from now… I don't really understand message boards, really. I'm sorry about that, I shall be more careful from now on.

Hey Becky or Darbie, is there a way to make it clearer that this is a pinned topic now? Like more (or different) separators between it and the regular threads in the OK Go section?  I ask because when I was finally logged in tonight and not kicked back to the WP Dash, I almost left anyway without reading or posting because I glanced at the "last post" of this thread and thought becky was the last to post anything (The last time I logged in successfully, that was actually the case).

Not that I think that has anything to do with the current posting lull; it's just a thought. I don't know if that's something this board can easily do, but I used to always put wider separators or other graphics between sticky/pinned threads and the rest of the section. I also found that it helped encourage members to actually read them (maybe it makes them seem more urgent).

Edited because this Darbie is a DarbIE not a DarbY.
