do you mean since they are all the same they should be merged into one common thread somewhere?

yea at first glance I felt the check in threads were just more of the same and maybe merge them all into one thread somewhere. but then I took the time to actually read many of them in various boards. my opinion changed...though they share the same title they are in fact different. each thread is about checking on that mental disorders symptoms each member that visits that board has... example the check in thread in dissociative disorders a majority of the posts are about what dissociative symptoms each member is having that day.

when I first came here about 5 years ago I read somewhere that these kinds of posts were all together in the general board. then they split of the general board into two boards other mental and general social with members who wanted to do check ins to do so in the mental disorder boards they were checking in about, and games were given their own boards. then i read some posts about how confusing it was at first but then after people got used to it the posts were all about how much better and organized it was.

i actually like having all the check in threads in each of the mental disorders. it helps new people to see that they are not alone. i do agree that it would be nice if the original posters of those threads did contact the moderators for pinning those threads.

my only concern with pinning\sticking these posts is I read somewhere that each thread can only be so many pages long then it has to be closed to keep the website running smoothly or something like that. if these threads got pinned would those threads still have to be closed after so many pages.
