Would it be a good idea to leave the Announcement Forum as "read-only"...?

I keep seeing the "new-posts" logo beside it and thinking there's a new announcement all the time, when instead it's just somebody's two-word reply. :huh:

The whole idea of having announcements is to notify the entire board of a specific topic... to draw their attention to something in particular.

If people want to discuss the topic, or offer a "thankyou" or "well-done"... they can do so in the chat section.

How do you guys feel about that?

i disagee.

only because it shows a better community atmosphere. If you have something to say, say it, dont go start a thread just to say good work, yes that is chatting, but it seems like spam.

I mean if it is your friends birthday, you say happy birthday to em, you wouldn't go start a street march delcaring happy birthday to em. it is unecessary.

I agree though that the NEW post for each comment is unruly, and can be annoying. But read-only is to much.

just my opinon
