    Those of us with sense know that Daybreak is not going to make a progression server based off of a magical idea they find in a random forum post. Would it be possible for forum moderators to make a stickied megathread that all posts in the vein of "I want X for the next TLP server and I want it NOW" go to? Other large message boards such as reddit do this with topics that are beaten to death, so it might work nicely.

    I know this is a long shot, but we see like 8 of these posts a week. <3

    I'm all about the lulz today.

    It's a good idea.

    We've seen specific topic complaint threads get moved into each other in the past.

    Seriously though, the TLP forum perhpas needs sub-forums ; it has grown so big with the stream of returning players who restarted EQ between 2015 and 2017, that it has become a huge pot-pourri of threads/posts without overview.

    A few subsections might be of help, maybe some global categories including a Servers subforum (this one is important because of different rulesets and pace through expansions)... and of course a Flame section which will have a brilliant future on its own... ;)

    Is the spam really that bad? I've literally never had to go to the second page of these forums. People complaining about pointless bs, that's what we need a sticky thread for.

    It comes and goes. There were 3 or 4 "here's my idea for a progression server" posts in the last week. There's usually about a new one every week or so rehashing the same bad ideas.

    I wouldn't sticky it... just keep dumping the threads into it as they appear in a given year. Start a new one up the next year.

    If it is a hot topic, it will stay at the top. Nobody posts "new" ideas for a few days it drops off the radar.

    Start a new progression server Mega thread and merge them all into it? :p

    Banning Risiko would be the first place I’d start.

    We get it, you are bored at work. Keep the constant diarrhea flow of “the next TLP ideas” in a journal, not every third post on the forum.

    Is it sad that I now look fondly back on the era of Radarx and his heavy-handed moderation?
