We've been kicking around what to do with Lounge threads that are worth keeping around. I think you'll agree most probably aren't after a month or three. The Larryshep memorial threads kicked off this line of thought, at least in my mind. The Tech Vault is basically for all "keepers" from just about every other forum, but we wouldn't want to clutter it with Lounge threads.
We don't currently purge the lounge of old threads but that time may come that we nuke everything older than a year or some other arbitrary timeframe. If that happens there are certainly some threads we don't want to lose, even though they haven't been commented on in a while.
So I've set up a Hall of Fame forum. It functions much like the Tech Vault; it's read-only for everyone except moderators. As with the Tech Vault, contact a moderator if you find a thread you think is worthy of archiving. The one caveat at this time is that the discussion should basically be over for that thread. The threads that are in there now are basically done. That said, we may start a "Lurker's Represent 2" thread and keep that concept going (in fact I think I'll just go ahead and start that anyway).
Hall of Fame So that's it. Sound off, for good or ill, if you feel the need. If it's a horribly idea I can always move everything back to the Lounge and delete the forum.
