Gaz Taylor Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 With the second edition of Age of Sigmar about to arrive within the next few weeks, there has been some debate on the Mod team about the future of the "Let's Chat" Topics. Some of us are for locking them whilst some of us want to keep them open. So we've all decided that you folks should pick! Do you want us to Lock the topics as the information in them is old or do you want us to Keep them open as the information is useful and you like the discussion? Feel free to add your thoughts about your choice below ? EDIT : There is some confusion about the LOCK answer. If they are locked, new topics will be created Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I voted Lock. Reason being, for me, that the longer threads get unwieldy. Besides which, a link to the past threads in the 1st post never goes amiss and I personally find it easier to track a thread of go over information from P1, than P71 and try and find what's changed, stuff as it develops. Besides, Locked doesn't mean deleted. They're still there for people to reference should they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradipo322 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The information is gonna be outdated but those threads are useful, might I suggest a third option? A reboot, where you lock them and proceed to open new ones, maybe better organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentdeathz Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 When you say lock them, does that mean you intend to create new 'lets chat' threads for 2.0? Perhaps creating the new thread, and linking to the old, locked, thread in the original post? There will still be plenty of information that is relevant in the old threads so making them easy to find would still be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Just to confirm - locking them will mean creating new ones! We're not meanies you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I would say keep but still start a Let's chat 2.0 'faction name here'. That would mean you can still look and refer to tactical discussions and centralise the new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Misfire Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lock them if you like, but please give me a heads up so I can make the new Ironweld thread even more informative and fancier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphanism Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Locking them makes the most sense, especially as it could be confusing to a newer player to see a thread that's 80% outdated information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmir Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I would say lock. A lot of the info will be completely invalid when AoS 2 happens . Heck, I think it would be better to make "let's chat" topic along with the version of the GHB being used. Just so it remains up to date. Also (personal annoyance of mine): don't allow people to make let's chat topics until the actual book is released an all the info is there. Most of the first 10 pages of the Legions of Nagash version (as an example) is filled with speculation about how their regeneration is nerfed in the new book based on leaks... And in no way reflects actual reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuroyume Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lock for sure. Not only will some info be outdated, but a few of them are extremely intimidating for a newbie just from a page count standpoint. Starting new threads and keeping the old ones archived seems like a great option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkav86 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I voted lock. I was going to say keep, but if new ones are being made and the old are being archived in some manner then a clean start for the new version seems good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kako Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lock them with links to old threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch of Izalith Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I think its better to start new ones. They get a bit unwieldy after a while anyway, new edition or not. Maybe leave the Shadowblades one open out of respect to the one guy brave enough to run a pure Shadowblades army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffster Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Think that locking them and creating "Let's Chat 2.0..." is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBS Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Rename them to "Let's Chat..... V1.0" and make a sub-forum for a "AoS V1.0" for them. Then make "Let's Chat.... V2.0" as normal. Basically, like on many other forums, useful old threads and info is displaced to a sub-area were previous editions are stored. Info will still be available, and those that still want to use or play that version have their space. This can apply for future editions too. "Officially obsolete" info does not mean it has no use (ie. Oldhammer & such things). M2C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharitt Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I like the idea of locking and restarting for a clean start in 2.0, and along those same lines, I'd even throw in the idea to lock the current large and unwieldy rumors thread and start a new rumors thread, and maybe even a sanctioned News and Releases thread as catch all for information that's official and not quite rumor anymore.

amysrevenge Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lock, restart, and link in the first post to the old locked one (as it will drop off the front page as time goes by with no new posts). Could also do a similar thing to the Rumours thread, perhaps quarterly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip4Tap Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lock, due to outdated information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadkitten Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Oops. I voted to keep open but then read that new topics would be created in their place. Now I vote Lock with a recommendation that a link be included to the archived thread. New players can be intimidated with a long chat. A new ed dropping is a good point to just start over to avoid the bloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosmer Nightblade Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lock, but have the mods create the next versions all at once. Otherwise you'll have a rush of people creating duplicate threads trying to get recognition for owning the new threads etc and it'll just create confusion.
