This is a new idea that we thought would be worth trying out following requests for certain threads to be made into stickies because of their useful content as resources, and people asking for information to be collated in one place for useful subjects.
The plan is for there to be one person responsible for updating the thread like a big dynamic article, thus ensuring it never becomes outdated. That person will edit the content as and when relevant. The content itself might come from a particularly information rich thread (this one on the Aerobie will harvest from, amongst other places, the recent Aerobie thread that was until now a sticky), from many threads, or by direct PM with the author.
As this is in effect an article, we ask that only the author posts here. Not only does this maintain the thread as an article rather than a discussion, but it keeps the content factual as an information rich resource that is easy to find.
In this case, Bruce has kindly volunteered to maintain the resource and he will keep an eye on the boards for relevant information to add. Just post information as usual in the existing Aerobie thread or anywhere else on TMC and he will do the rest during his regular harvest for updates. Of course, you can PM Bruce to ask him to add something specific.
This may not work for TMC, but we think it could be useful, and it is a method used in various other types of forum to maintain knowledge bases efficiently. If people like it, we can start similar resource stickies for other subjects with various authors.
Meanwhile, as this is totally new to TMC, there is a sticky comment thread set-up for everyone to post opinions and ideas about the concept.
Many thanks to Bruce for taking the time to keep our Aerobie information nice and tidy. It's over to Bruce :P
