Is it okay to start a thread for an image that was changed without discusion?
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Years ago, when crowners were broken, we used roll-calls in their place. That is, we added a crowner like questionnaire in the first post of the thread, switched the header post on, announced this pseudo-crowner in-thread with a "mod mode" post and requested that people "vote" in their posts with thumbs-up and thumbs-down which were then listed by a moderator in the first post. Perhaps we should do so again?

That actually may be easier to do...I'll see about doing that, but it may be later on into the weekend before I can dedicate time to it, got a lot going on ATM.
I'll be on a work trip next month that'll leave me with a lot of down time in the evenings, so I'll be able to keep a closer eye on things and police threads better.
Since we've just about got all the old threads knocked out (the ones that are left really need more discussion as they would be very reliant on crowners and those still aren't an option), I'm going to start bringing in the requests that were locked post-site update, in small batches.
While these threads are coming back, please hold off on new requests unless it's a serious fix that needs to happen, as there are a lot of locked requests that need to be processed.

Well, the initial batch of threads that I moved back into the forum stalled out for the most part. I'm probably going to start clocking some of them soon, and moving more of the temp-locked threads in for discussion as older threads are cleared out. There's not a huge backlog of such threads, and several of them I'm pretty sure can be knocked out fairly quickly, so hopefully things will be back on track within the next month.
I've also been told that crowners are very close to being fully functional again, so that will help a lot. Part of the reason I've let some threads hang on for so long is that they really need crowners to come to a good resolution.

Due to the massive amount of bugs created by the new site overhaul, several of which directly impact the function of the workshop forums, please do not start any new IP threads until further notice.
Thank you...hopefully this will end sooner rather than later.
