Board suggestion, possibly lame

[Deleted]

IIOY, I've been thinking for a while now about something that would be useful to me on this board.  What if we had a sub-board, like the bios sub-board on the main board, for common cleaning subjects threads, which could be updated over time with additional tips and tricks, but all consolidated.  Like someone could start a thread ("bio") for "Vacuum cleaners" to discuss recommended vacuum cleaners and the pros and cons of each or "Glass shower doors" for all the ways to keep those clean.  I know the board is so slow that it might not warrant a sub-board, but I'd be willing to spend some time typing out things that work for me, and I'd love reading others' tricks and having a quick reference for different subjects.  I also thought about sticky posts, sort of like the C&O websites thread, but that might be a lot of stickys.  The websites thread could even be it's own "bio."

Interesting idea! The board doesn't have much activity so I don't see a reason not to try this. I'm actually away on vacation so my laptop time is limited, but I could start working on this when I get the chance.

Cool. There's so little activity that it might flop, but whatever. Even if it's not active as far as updates, it could be a useful reference. If you need any help or want another mod, I'd be happy to help (at least I think I would; I have no idea what that might entail). Have fun on vacation!

I'm just afraid it might be a lot of stickys. Or maybe I'm WAY over-thinking it. I think think of something like 7 or 8 topics off the top of my head. But if that's not too many stickys, fine by me.

I was thinking, like, how many times do people on the boards ask "Which washer/dryer should I buy?" I get sort of tired typing out the same thing over and over again. If we had one mother-of-all-washer-dryer-posts that didn't get buried, either because it's sticky or because it's on a separate bio-type board, it might be a good reference, but in order to be a good reference, it would have to be separate from things like "Which vacuum cleaner should I buy?" and "What's the best way to clean shower doors?" But I think my hopes of people actually filling out a little survey about topics like that might be a little high considering the board traffic. I was thinking maybe I could do some recruiting on other boards to fill out the posts, but perhaps I think about cleaning/home maintenance waaaaaay too much.

I actually think this is a great idea. I also don't know how we'll it would work with the traffic but I'm always thinking to myself 'there was that great post about (fill in topic you mentioned above)' and I can never seem to find them again and i hate asking everyone the same questions over and over.
