fredrichnietze Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 similar to the archive of past events, we should have a archive of past tier'ing discussions. they are valuable reference material as pokemon are not just discussed once in a ever changing meta (like if we get choice band ^^). also leaving them locked in comp alley clutters it up and makes it difficult to find current discussions. included here would be threads like: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/40769-discussion-lunatone/ https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/40559-discussion-stantler/ https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/40369-discussion-stab-tournament/ https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/26865-unofficial-determining-a-pseudo-pokemmo-tier-list-updated-02042014/page-23?hl=tier#entry696611 ect..... pros: no more spending hours looking for a link to a old discussion that has restarted less cluttered comp alley fred will be happy cons: effort to move all the old threads (which is a one time thing) i assume paper work of some sort? finding all these threads in the trash (which i am willing to help with) DrCraig 1 Link to comment

Archinix Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 archive where? not here i checked https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/forum/34-competition-archive/ and i found loads of them in the trash Archive is for tournament threads (I assume, I never knew much bout that sub-forum.) Trash is where the other ones go Link to comment
fredrichnietze Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 im suggesting creating a archive only for competitive discussions separate from the trash/tournament archive Link to comment
Emlee Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Put them in the normal archive and have a thread linking them like the SB ToC. There are some discussions in the trash but I think those are incorrect formatting, joke ones, etc. Link to comment
fredrichnietze Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 im not entirely sure what the abbreviations stand for but a thread with all the links would also work. and yea there are several legit discussions in the trash. Link to comment
Tranzmaster Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Instead of creating another archive or making a new pinned thread, I chose to give more purpose to the Current Suspect Test thread. It has now been renamed to Current Suspect Tests and Past Discussions and contains a list of all the current suspect tests and bans in the first post and all the past discussions in the second post. It also includes the important threads from the old Tier List managers, such as the old OU an UU tier thread, the Ubers thread and the suspect test thread. I chose to not include event discussion threads, as I deem those not important enough to have them listed (Most of them are gimmicky and the metagame changes a lot over time so the threads could become not relevant anymore over time) We'll see how it goes from here. If you have a suggestion to add another thread to this list, feel free the PM me and I'll consider it. Locking. PS: As for trashed discussion threads, those are now moved to Competition Archive (aside from the joke ones, and maybe some of minor importance). fredrichnietze 1 Link to comment
