a "what skate should I buy?" thread - just start a new one, and ask people to use it in the future.
recovery and electrolyte drinks? (not sure if this comes up here or in Speed more.) Last edited by Bill in Houston; December 28th, 2008 at 02:26 AM. Reason: took out the ones Kathie put on her big list |

Sticky both the "what did you do today" and the Weight loss threads. They're usually at the top anyhow!

I do like the idea of Bill - to stick just a single and locked thread/post with a list of usefull things, similar like the long proven one in the general interest section (to make your first post....)
What i disagree with is the importance of the logs in there. Although this site is named skatelogforum I mostly appreciate the use after the previous virtual city askaboutskating: let people ask questions and find answers. The logging part may be interesting to a group of inmates - to share their daily things and brag about, but the other topics are more of the " how to" kind. So my list would be:
what surprised me in the working of the forum that a sticky thread keeps on top of the list even on page 2, 3 etc. so it's kinda super-sticky. that counts even more to make just one single thread to stay up there, as almost a menu item. a list would flood the page on small resolution computers and hide half the forum.... ![]()

I don't read all the threads, mostly the ones here in Fitness and Training, but I do like learning how to technique stuff....I spent a lot of time reading here learning how people learned to stop, do crossovers, etc. I really learned a lot lurking about those threads that included this information, but it wasn't always easy to find. The combination of linked how to videos and real life experience is facinating and allows those of us who are really just wishful thinkers think they can actually skate, at least by the armchair method.
My secret service cuz was only an armchair sailor long before he bought a large boat and sailed the world raising his children on the boat. |

![]() ![]() ![]() From a statistic point of view you may be right. But for two reasons I dont think statistics rule... - the logs are popular by a relatively small group of users that come and post here almost daily. Is postcount more important then the quality or the spread of information? - logging what you do is not the same as sharing valuable or informative things. In my very personal opinion, I am not interested if you skated so-and-so-many kilometers yesterday. Dont mix that up with personal interest in people BTW. But hey, thats my humble opinion - i hope i made it clear at least. Sometimes i dont mind being inscrutable but this time I gave it a try ![]()
