A poll about the outer space posts

[Paul]

I enjoy them. I told Denny I did when he was still around - however it's getting really difficult to sort through them - and it has been for a while. Do y'all think it would be a good idea to make a memorial thread for Denny like at Teh Forum? I like the idea for a few reasons.

• The obvious navigation issues
  The posts have become a C&F tradition so they should stay and continue to be updated for anyone who wants to see them
  Having the memorial thread gives Denny eternal credit for starting the tradition

i honestly hope I haven't offended anyone here as that is not my intention. It's just a suggestion *and* if this has been addressed before an admin can please delete this thread. I looked and couldn't find one. I would be glad to help move the posts if Dale and Company requested it. I have experience administrating other boards.

Thanks and all the best!

I'm interested in the way this thread might turn out.

Having said which, bear in mind that the practical result of such a poll may be nothing at all. I mean, who believes in democracy anyway? Just look at all the trouble it's caused around the world.

Oh, and, out of interest, from a personal point of view, I voted for the status quo. I like 'em. If we (Dale and the Mods {ooh! great 60s band name }) ever decide to move them, for whatever reason, it's easy enough to do - I think we'd cope, Paul.

I'd prefer Dale and the Rockers. Maybe we should do a poll on that too?

I think that Denny is "still around". I'd hate to make him go to another room. It would be like time out.

Denny is still around. Too strong a personality not to be. And it's great to have him.

I have continued to post the APOD pictures, not because I knew Denny (other than as a member of the board who also posted the APOD pictures), but because I enjoyed seeing them, and thought others did also. If what I am doing is considered an homage to Denny, it (from my limited knowledge of him), is an homage to his dedication to consistently posting each day's offering.
From looking at the number of views, it appears that there may be a core of 12-24 people who also enjoy the images and the story behind them.
If the consensus is that the number of APOD threads is making use of the OT(ML) forum difficult to use, I don't mind discontinuing the regular postings.

Dave, have you considered putting the APOD posts into one APOD thread? That's what Denny did in his "TED" thread, and I've continued this practice in the More TED thread (which, as it happens, is in homage to Denny).

Yes, but it's not what Denny did in his APOD posts is it?

They used to be somewhat livelier threads, since there was a game, played by a few of us, with arcane and unwritten rules, which enlivened and lit up the whole forum.

Still, speaking with a user's hat on, having discarded for the nonce my more ornate Mod headgear, I think the posts stand up individually on their own. Just my 2c.

I do not know about the original postings but I do enjoy Dave's posts and have commented on a few of them.

I take a quick peek almost daily for the posting, or I catch up later. I liked it when Denny did it and I like it now with Dave posting.

I think the posts are fine as is. I enjoy looking at them from time to time, and they are in the appropriate forum. I say leave it as is, and I hope Dave will continue to share them.
