i'd like to rephrase what the us patents office said early in the previous century:

let's ninny-lock the suggestions forums!

no new suggestions could ever be thought of.

Mmm no no .....there are good one's but they get bash by others =/

See? That just goes to show you, your posted suggestion is a new suggestion. Proving you wrong.

[remains unlocked]

seriously, though, there hasn't been any new suggestion lately. everything is a rehash of older ideas or reworded ones.

Time to end it.
Imho, devs have enough good suggestions viable for implementation for another 50 years of VO development.

I disagree.

The re-hashing of ideas has gone on much longer than 'lately'. It's part of the process.

This forum is essential to the game.

Lets make a New Suggestions forum!

I bags making the first "Land on Planets in a Capital Ship" thread.

the purpose of a forum is discussion

what's so wrong with discussing old ideas?

Some way to bring back to the light old, forgotten but very good ideas is required, tho.

actually, recently, whistler chastised someone for thread necromancy.

i dont recall others agreeing with that and the subject died because of a troll locking the thread but before we think of another way to bring back older discussions, presumably because they're not in the read first list, i have a question:

what's the [new] guideline on necromancy?

edit: corrected "hing" to "think". dont ask.

Official Position:

I think people discussing old ideas is a great thing, but I would prefer that people start a new thread and link to the old thread in the first post. That way I have some separation of discussion periods without having to flip through 39248932 pages of stuff looking at posting-dates.

So like, if someone posted a long thread on landing on planets, create "New Landing-On-Planets Thread" and link to the previous thread in the first post, and then go on to cover whatever new ground you want to discuss. As a general guideline, if it's older than say.. a year, make a new thread that references it rather than reviving. Fair?

That's what I'd prefer for now, anyway.

whistler, think you can add a note to that effect in the "read first" post?

not that anyone would read it any more... but it'd be like the burning bush thing. let it be written in stone.

The 15... 10 commandments.

Thanks for the Official hand down :)

I paraphrased Incarnate's Official Position in the "Read First" thread.

It would be very helpful if we could, from time to time, get an update list from devs about our suggestions that are considered viable for implementation so we can move on instead of *flogging a dead horse*.
