To the General Chat general, BB:

Each day, I see a new General Chat go up. I look for it now, and find myself appreciating it.

However, it is often the case that my time for coming on the board is around the time you stick the new General Chat, and so content that I've posted or discussed on the previous day's GC is gone, or unstickied, and I need to dig it up. And, unless someone was already in that chat, this means that they will NOT see it, but simply gravitate to the new chat, for obvious reasons.

This tends to mean that any discussion in the General Chat abruptly terminates with each 24 hour period.

So:

What about leaving the previous days General Chat sticked for at least 12 hours, or possibly even 24 hours, so that the board always has the NEW General Chat (for this day) plus the OLD General Chat, for the previous day? So that there is an overlap, staggered posting, instead of a hard and cold switch.

I don't think it would hurt to have 2 General Chats in the sticky section: i.e.

General Chat for Fri, Aug 19

and

General Chat for Thurs, Aug 18

When the new Chat for Sat, Aug 20 is posted, that would be when the Chat for Aug 18 is removed, but NOT the Chat for Aug 19.

To allow for a greater continuity of discussion.

signed, Just a random, unsolicited suggestion, unlikely to go anywhere...
