the board could use a folder option, like in MS sharepoint

Not the stickies, but the tourney itself. No offense, OPA, but this is going as predictably as many predicted. Another exercise for that numbered few to shit all over those who would dare vote against their perceived pantheon. The Beatles and the Stones!!! *gag*

Oh, and there might be a certain Clash album coming. Ya think?

Call me predictable, but I'm curious as to whether or not Exile would beat London Calling if the two were matched up against each other in a poll.

Of course I'd be really happy if it didn't even come down to that, but I'm not hugely bothered either way.

Why do people get bothered by these things?

you think that's fair? I'm just curious what makes you think that the Stones and the Beatles in particular are undeserving of potentially faring well in an online Best Albums Ever poll... As far as it being unsurprising, sure. So far there's some dialogue, though, which is a nice change.


Or, in short: just hang out a week and we'll go back to normal.

I didn't say undeserving, just tired, IMO.
And the discussion that is coming about is pretty much as I described above. No prob. Carry on. I'll just stay out of the way.

OPA's threads will save this board.

I hope that's not the plan. I think its all the more important to keep them stickied after the voting on the first 8 is over. That's when they would start to fall without the sticky and we need to be able to find them when thinking about next round matchups and so forth.

Never thought that I would be the one to say this, but:

Billy, meet "Search" function. "Search" function, meet Billy G.
(and it kinda feels good!)

why not put them in the list forum once the voting deadline has passed?

Because they belong there about as much as they belong in the Introductions forum.

Todd I understand how to search and that could be an argument against stickying anything. If anything has a case for stickying its threads related to a temporary obner group project.

Are these polls really necessary?

Couldn't we use the charts function for everyone to rate a list of albums?

That would be great! Then we could eliminate all of this pesky "discussion".

As the moderator who took the decision to give these polls sticky status, I just want to make it clear that I apologise profusely for pushing the 'I Just Ate A Candy Bar' thread down the front page a little. It was an action that can only be described as beyond the pale and a clear instance of irresponsible abuse of power.

Also, Todd's thread about someone jogging past his car deserved more attention festooned upon it. As a result of my foolish decision, I've cruelly denied you, the people, the opportunity to do so without making the unreasonable effort of moving your mouse 2 inches in a southerly direction.

I also accept that the 'unfamiliarity' of having so many sticky posts on the top of the page may have shocked many boarders unused to this unconventional set up. I accept full responsibility for any upset and emotional trauma caused.

I ask for you forgiveness and remind you that in the end, like all evil doers, I'll have to answer my maker about this.

Once again, my profuse apologises.

As long as we are clear that joggers and candy bars are the #1 priority.

i think a candy bar thread has much more unpredictability then a battle of ALBUM vs ALBUM part XI
