So, as the title says, I had a think. Mayhaps we should add a new category, for finished and, hate to say it, dead threads. Just an archive for if someone wanted to go back and look upon the stories that have come to a close, but don't wish to swim through the active, lively threads to get there. As I said, just a thought!

That's good thinking. The OP could edit the first and last post to add some context, like This follow the previous thread where our protagonists have done this and that.

Technically the idea isn't that bad. The question is whether to judge when a thread is 'over' or not. There's no time limit for participation, so if technically someone takes a month to reply, does that make the thread ready for the archive? The alternative would be a thread starter telling the mods whenever they like to move a thread - Every single time. (Either this or making every single registered member a moderator.) I personally doubt much sense and practical use on this idea, I'll pass it on to the other mods nevertheless. ^^
Towards the Coming-From-link idea: That's a pretty neat and clever idea. I also know that many RPs have this as mandatory thing to do. I think it makes sense to make a CF/GT link especially when participating longer story arcs such as the planned WOR or Boogie-man ones. I think it definitely might be good to use it on longer stories, yet I would not make it mandatory.

Well, for the coming from thread idea, it could possibly work, but some have some many threads going on at the same time that it'd be hard to link them all up. At the same time, it seems that it is a player possible thing. Hell, I might just implement it myself in my threads!
Well, it's a in progress idea. I suppose it would all need to be a case by case basis. It could be made for only finished threads, if done. I was just spit balling when I made this ^^; but thanks for the feedback, all!

While the idea is interesting, we do not think an extra archive is needed. Threads move down by themselves and everyone can easily see the last activity date to tell active threads from inactive. Moving threads changes their links which is a major technical downside.
Should anyone want to share a number of threads as a connected arc, a possible suggestion is to make a post about the story arc with the collected links in the Character Info area or list the links in the respective character bio post.
I hope everyone is comfortable and finds their way around in the RP section.
