One of these would be extremely useful to explain the club/clan forum rules, etc. to newcomers.

A sticky thread sticks out by the colour of the bubble 😉

Ponderable, what average volume of posts/day would you consider "very active"?
Edit Footnote: The General Forum has averaged 22-30 posts/day on page one since June 29, 2013.

It is more a question of posts in different threads than overall post number.

(and a current average of thirty one posts per day) during the past ten
days qualify as "very active" or just medium active in your opinion?

"It's our club, not gb's." ("Round Table Suggestion Box": one of our several introductory entries)
Sense of ownership with no one playing king or queen of the hill matters.
The relative impersonality of public forms matters far less than the desire
for conversation. When the need isn't met, people will seek it elsewhere.
Thanks, Ponderable, for your reply. -Bob
Footnote with Verbatim Text:
Q. #5 “I like word games because they’re easy and sometimes quite creative. Will they be permitted?”
A. Of course. A few creatively different variations with potential for becoming lively (since casual conversation is our club’s primary reason for being) would give our forum an important dimension. Remember, it’s our private forum. Not, gb’s."
