Oh, I'm not saying that I don't feel welcome anymore. I'm just saying that I don't have the time to wade through so many challenge threads. Even if less than half the threads are challenge-related, that's still a lot to go through. I don't think a separate category would slow down the GS traffic. In fact, it might increase, because more people might start participating again. I'm sure the challenges are wonderful for those who are interested in participating, and I'm not suggesting that they shouldn't be part of the board. It would be great if admin could address this.

Thanks for helping out grammadee! I love looking at the challenges, but haven’t participated much. They still inspire me and keep me motivated on my own projects. .

I’m another one who’d like to see a challenge subforum. Maybe if the other threads stayed on the first couple of pages longer they’d get more comments. I’ll admit that sometimes it is a little difficult to sift through them. I do think it’s great how the challenges have taken off. I don’t participate in the them yet but I do like them for inspiration. It would be easier if they were in one place. grammadee I didn’t know you’d been gifted with some powers. That’s great. Thanks for helping out.

I have a theory about why it seems like there's less general discussion going on -- I think it's because a lot of threads have been brought into mega threads - so we have all things Ali Edwards, Studio Calico, December Daily, Cricut, etc. I think that's a good thing, personally. But it does mean that once I've scanned the first page and seen there's not much new going on on the 3 or 4 I participate in, looking past the ones I just ignore, plus the challenges I only look at here and there, the little posts can get lost pretty quickly. (Especially because I don't tend to look at enabler/new stuff to buy posts so much - I think we all have keywords that tell us "this post is not for me" so we discount those when we look at how active the board is).
Anyway, just my thought. Not sure that it matters tho. I would be happy to see the challenges sectioned off, if the powers that be can make that work, but if not, hopefully things calm down a bit now that Sketchtember is over.

Would love to have a separate sub board, but my superpowers don’t cover that. Hoping admin agrees and has some time to set one up. grammadee, I never noticed you were an moderator. Is that new? I was wondering if you have the keys to the house in case God forbid, something happened to admin?

I was wondering if you have the keys to the house in case God forbid, something happened to admin? I think it happened sometime this spring. I don’t have the keys to the house. I can do a few extra functions, but they don’t include setting up sub boards or pinning threads as yet.

So, it looks like admin put challenge threads in a special post in the section where they have the All Things Cameo. It's not a separate board, but it is separate.

I would like the challenge thread forums in a separate sub forum.

Do you mean the Master List of Challenges in the pinned section? admin set those up early in the year, and I have been editing her posts to keep them current. Those are links to the threads on the Scrapbooking board. They don't remove those threads, just group the links together so they are easier to search. Or am I missing something that happened today?

I find that I'm not participating as much, I too though have found myself not participating on the boards as much lately it's very hard to just find regular threads. I’ve stopped checking in so much it is hard to wade through the challenge threads I have really limited coming to this board I know I haven't been very active on the board because I feel a bit overwhelmed by challenge threads All this makes me sad...especially since I think part of the reason for starting the challenges was to try and make the board more active and get people participating more. I hope we can find a solution that works for everyone and that makes everyone feel welcome because I hate to see people staying away I agree!!

No, that is it. I had not noticed it before, so I thought it was new and in response to this thread. I agree that a sub forum would be helpful.

I just posted a request for a challenge sub board in the Admin forum, and provided a link to this discussion there. Fingers crossed... admin forum

I don't think splitting out the challenges is a bad idea - I think of it more as a road map. If I come here and want to chat, I go here....if I come here and want to see challenges to get me scrapping, I go here...if I come here and want to vent about life, I go here... I think if they were split out it could actually boost activity within the challenges and discussions on GS. And I don't wade into the Mega threads. They are too overwhelming for me. I don't get here everyday and it's hard to keep up with "where you left off" in them, to me. I do appreciate everyone, though! I think it boils down to personal preference, and in my case, a little bit of OCD/ADHD....

And if we don't get a separate board, maybe challenges could begin with the word CHALLENGE to help separate them out...

Please note: our fairy pod mother admin has waved her magic wand and gifted us with a CHALLENGES sub board! It is right up there above the Cardmaking and stamping forum. Hoping this will make challenges easier to find for the people who want to take them on, and easier to avoid for those who prefer to--or just have time to--chat. She has already moved a ton of current challenges up there, so if you are looking for them: there they will be, all in one place!
