I should also mention that there is a trophy awarded to those who are often the first to respond to a thread.

There are many of them. Get them all!

Thanks. I didn't even realize we had that thread. Wonder what else I'm missing. I'll have to poke around and find out

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Up to 63!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Woah up to 67!

Well, that just shows how popular the forum is and you should take it as a good thing

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Nearing 70 again. Lots of posters these days!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Up 69! that may be a record

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

We're approaching record levels. See if you can help

I just joined the forums and I can say without a doubt, my favorite part about the forums is looking at the unanswered thread and trying to flex my knowledge! I think I am a level two first responder? But honestly, I just like trying to help people out!

this is very helpful

The evolution of PF does not cease to amaze.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Now that school is winding down, let's see if we can make some progress shaving this list down.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Down to 40! Is it possible to reach 0 this summer?

 

[JorisL]

I fear I have to be the bearer of bad news (if I'm the first one, otherwise ignore this), the courtesy bump sometimes (not often as far as I can tell) marks a topic answered.
But it drops down the list once again.
Reason I mention this is that when I checked a recent topic of mine which got such a bump, I found another topic in the similar discussions box which suffered this faith.

I'm not sure how to think about this. It's sad some threads don't get solved, but that's just how it is.
Maybe there can be a new category, threads that have been bumped (with a possible expiration date) so people can see a list if they are interested in such a feature.
This however strongly depends on the "bumping technology" i.e. whether this is at all possible.

Edit; Down to 38 threads by the way

This is true. It's just an attempt to give it one last bit of visability.

True as well. We just want to give every thread a reasonable chance of being seen and replied to.

Down to 30, but there are some very specialized questions that are hard to answer.

 

[phion]

Seem like a fairly crucial feature.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Down to 11, can we send it to 0?

 

[phinds]

Nah. It's like brushing your teeth. You'll just have to do it again tomorrow anyway.

and... don't you...?

 

[phinds]

Yeah, but I wouldn't if I didn't have to. The consequence of rotten teeth are even worse than having unanswered threads

In 20 years science will prove otherwise
