We are on page 4 several hours before puck drop. The last GDT that I started with a bit of fun / flair in the title is still going and is on page 32, which is due mostly, if not solely due to the good hockey the Sabres are playing. If the goal of the thread title is to help drive discussion I don't think some fun in the title, even if it is 'noisy' is a problem, at least the way I see it. If you guys tell me to change it I will, but under protest. Edited November 29, 2018 by New Scotland (NS) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The star is what makes it noisy. Is this something new? The problem is it gets confused with the star you click to go to the first unread post. I generally like a standard thread title, but in the midst of a 10-game winning streak, it's fine. Also: some time today I will hit 30k posts. But I can no longer find the list of posters to see where that ranks me. I'm pretty sure I'm still well behind Dark and Onze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen that 'featured' star before. Not sure what it means, but I see your point about it. I only added the fliar because we are on the verge of history here. Win, or lose, we can go back to a more standard format, as I agree with what you and chz are saying. I usually don't start the GDT, but have a few this season. The first was the Penguins game a week, or so ago, and it was in a more traditional / cleaner format. Then the Flyers, but Liger beat me to it. The Sharks and now the Lightning. When I logged on at 6:00'ish (AST) this morning there were others logged in. Congrats on the 30,000. Dark is way up there at almost 38,000. Onze (I like that, but will only use it once as he may not) is next at around 34,000. If you and Shrader had not taken those year long sebaticals (sp?) you both would be way up there even higher.
