Redoing the Trivia/Quote-Quiz threads

[murmur]

Condiment King and Dark Knight mentioned mergers already on the JL trivia/quote thread. I think this merits its own discussion. Right now, for quotes, we've got B:TAS, S:TAS and TNBA clumped together, and Batman Beyond on its own. For trivia, all of them are clumped together. Then Justice League, after the BSB/JL merger gets, got shuffled in with a trivia/quote combo...I think it's disorienting. As much as I love them, I think they are only self-defeating and more likely to get pushed to the second and third pages as they stand now.

My two cents:

1. Lump them ALL together, but have mirror threads for both. I.e., DCA Trivia I, DCA Trivia II, DCA Quote Quiz I, DCA Quote Quiz II, all running at once. Four threads is about right, and they would probably be kept a little fresher. And if one dropped off the front page for a couple days, it wouldn't be sorely missed. And this would probably avoid a lot of confusion as well...

2. Separate the quotes into B:TAS and the rest (S:TAS, TNBA, BB, JL). Most fans do favor the classic stuff, and there's a whole lot of it to go around. The trivia is probably better all clumped together, because that allows for more crossover questions (e.g., "Name all the episodes that begin with "G" in the DCA..."), so maybe two DCA Trivia threads, one B:TAS quote thread and one post-B:TAS quote thread?

Also, more than anything; I think there should be a rule for any of these threads--Anything that requires a response becomes an up-for-grabs question after 24 hours. It sounds a little harsh, but it's the only way to keep them moving. Heck, I've been guilty myself of leaving people hanging over a weekend...I wouldn't take it personally if my question was abandoned due to my oops.

Other ideas? Mods: what do you think?

This issue is on the docket! We have been discussing how to handle this and we've pretty much got it solved. I believe the approach will be closing all the quote quiz/trivia threads and then rebooting them as "DC Animated Universe" threads. But, like myself, alot of the mods here are busy and we are working to get this done. So, a little paitence, please, until we get to this issue - which will be soon, I assure you!

Although this is a nice friendly reminder, so thanks for bringing this up again. We are getting to this, I promise!

Jim,

Do you mean a DC Animated Universe Trivia Quiz and a DC Animated Universe Quote Quiz? That would be my selection of choice, personally. Hehe, all these various different threads get confusing.

I believe that is the plan! Keep yer fingers crossed and we should have everything figured out ASAP!

Thanks Jim! If this was brought up before on the boards, I apologize. For future reference, I belatedly ask: is it okay to bring up this kind of discussion here? Or should it be confined to the general suggestion area?

And it's been done!
