Which threads in the SkateLog Artistic Forum would you recommend to be included in a quick-reference list of the most interesting, most useful, most significant, or most popular discussions in that forum? I'll start by nominating two and I will add discussions to this list as you guys recommend them:

What is the point of these nominations?
Is it to weed out what "should not" be a part of this forum? Is it to reduce to total number of threads in the Artistic Category? Or is there some sort of award being given to the "winner" of the nominees? What was the point of moving the two topics/threads that you nominated into your thread, and removing them from the main artistic category page? It would appear that since they are moved, people can't go directly to those threads that you have nominated as the two of most important, significant, etc. They'll have to 'find' that they are here inside this thread. No? |

I think this sticky thread will be especially helpful to new forum visitors who might not otherwise find some of our most interesting or most useful discussions of the past. Many of our best discussions have become buried over time. - K |

You're in charge, and I'm not going to argue the choices that you make as far as how you run things here. Because I'm thankful as heck that you do what you do in the first place. However, I think it's always good to hear from members when they have concerns about how certain changes affect the membership, and new membership. Peace canative64 |

People keep asking me to make more and more important discussions sticky and this seemed like a good way to honor their requests and at the same time avoid burying our newest discussions under a list of sticky threads. Let's see how this works for a while. We can always reevaluate later. - K |

Right on. I know that I was one of those who asked you in a private message [as well as in the thread that I started] called Artistic Skating Videos to make it a sticky page so that we had one place to go for new videos. So... I nominate; Artistic Skating Videos Peace canative64 |

Since we already have a skating videos thread started by Mom2Skaters I merged yours with that one and I added it to our sticky list. Thanks! I think we have a few video threads around also so I will try to find them and merge them as well.

It was exactly one year since my last post here. Happy New Year to all my skating friends. May 2010 turn out to be a better year for everyone.

I'm new to this board and very old..LOL! I skated singles, figures and dance in the 70's. I wasn't very good but got to go to regionals, SW Pacific. I think in those days if your pro thought there was some benefit in you going and you weren't going to look to bad competing, you were welcome to go.
Reading all the posts I know the more people who went contributed to the bottom line. I never thought of skating as a business. I think we all know it is. But my true love was singles and to be quite honest about it, I performed lousy but I loved pairs and in my time I never saw a fours event. I never skated pairs but dreamed about it. It looked amazingly exciting. I don't know if it would help, but I think there should be some videos on how to do pairs. Although I saw many pairs events and you can see many videos of the skaters, I have no clue on how boys lifted those girls and performed all those crazy tricks. I really think people who do pairs are crazy/dare devils. Not your average skater gets into pairs. I also think there should be some books on the subject on how to perform those lifts. I just think it would help add interest in the sport. Larry O |
