Ok going to have to add this....this is JUST a funny/silly not-to-be-taken-seriously idea
Ok so most of us have been around long enough to hear the ole
"Hey this topic was already discussed" issue.
You go into a thread, interesting or not, and someone is like "This is already being discussed at ((source/link))"
Ok fair enough. If the new thread has a different direction I think we should leave it alone
BUT...if the new thread adds nothing AND the original thread is AWESOME...I have a suggestion....here it is
We add a new function to ATS. It's called
"Kanye"
You clink on the Kanye link and find the source link you would rather see discussed/added to AND the screen name of the OP of that original thread as
well as the screen name of the NEW thread...now here is the magic
Then the Kanye link does something awesome. When you add the source and original screen name of the OP and the screen name of the new OP it will
produce a form that says this...here is an example
Say that someone wants to start a new thread about free education. They open said thread but you notice that this link
Free Education already was started by Aazadan
It would turn into this
"Yo, KyoZero, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Aazadan had one of the best discussions on Free Education of all time...one of the
best discussions of all time" See
Free Education
Naturally there would be an icon or jpeg of Kanye when he interrupted Taylor Swift
bear in mind this is ONLY an example...not picking on anyone
You can't tell me that wouldn't be awesome!
