Now we got our own subforum, lets get this place rockin!! ;)

Discuss how you want our new subforum to be organised here

Really pleased to see it actioned so quickly - our admins are on the ball! I have asked about getting the threads moved in here for Stockholm to help get it going.

Also, thanks to the Nordic and Baltic mods for contacting the admins to get it sorted.

:)

Thumbs up!

Yey, Stockholm sub-forum labelling is now fixed. Thank you, Matthieu! :)

Great job well done! :)

Congrats Stockholm!

Is this new part of the forum also English?

Congrats Stockholm!

Is this new part of the forum also English?


I hope so. Its a good way for me to practise the english skills. :okay:

How great! Yeah I hope most will write i english too!
Hope the threads start geting moved soon too. :)

As i had to attend my brothers confirmation today i could not be on SSC right at the moment the admin created Stockholm, thats why it take a while, as i've said earlier, mods also have a life! ;)

I have moved the threads now though. If you want to organize the titles of the threads and so on, update the titles etc. please write me a list and ill do it as soon as i am available!

It would be great if people started new threads for the larger project areas like perhaps Hagastaden, Norra Djurgårdstaden, Västra City, Årstafältet?

I'll create one for construction pictures.

GoSatta wanted to make one for Hagastaden.

Btw, as you now have a Stockholm section, i don't see any reason to write Stockholm in the thread titles, but perhaps write something else, such as borough it belong in, or HIGHRISE, LOWRISE, INFRASTRUCTURE etc. or status, or anything else so that it looks organized. :)

Looks good :) I think we should make one for the Fjord-city projects now.

You are right! Please move the construction thread I started and take away the Stockholm part, sorry for the extra work. ;) It ended up in the old part! :lol:

Wow,looks so much better & well organized. :) Congratulations! :cheers:

shouldn't we move the Stockholm Quick links thread here to?



And should we make some kind of Stockholm Highrise thread or should we keep it as it is now with all the different buildings having their own thread??

Some of the new threads have construction written in them but there already is a specific construction thread for all the construction pictures of Stockholm.

And I think Kista should be for all of Kista, not all are science related are they?

Edit. And perhaps it should be Kista /Rinkeby?

shouldn't we move the Stockholm Quick links thread here to?

I asked Brondemir to keep the quick links together but if it's better to have it in the Stockholm section, well of course! :)

I think they should be kept in their own threads since they are such special projects

I hope so. Its a good way for me to practise the english skills. :okay:

Agree with that haha. But I'm also about to study some Swedish soon.

To get it too look orginazed what about:

Kista Science City - Updates and Construction = Kista

Norra Djurgårdsstaden - Updates & Construction = Norra Djurgårdsstaden

Hagastaden - Updates & Construction = Hagastaden

Projects & Construction = ? Construction should go, but does only projects sound ok?

And should the highrise threads have highrise in their names or is it too much?

Like:

Victoria Tower | 117.47 m | 33fl | U/C = Highrise | Victoria Tower | 117.47 m | 33fl | U/C

Any other and better proposals to make it all look nice. :)

Wich other new developments should we make threads for??

Västra City, Norvästra Kungsholmen, årstafältet ?

Wich other new developments should we make threads for??

Västra City, Nordvästra Kungsholmen, årstafältet ?

I think those are great!
And the larger project areas would be great having their own threads.
I really hope different people chose to start the new threads too, since I hope it will increase activity if more got involved. :)

How about?

Projects & Construction = Projects & Planing or Planing & Projects

^^ I think that's a great idea myself. :)

About the new threads.

To me it looks like the idea that as many as possible should start threads has been ignored, well skip that idea then! :)

Brondemir hasn't had the time to take away the construction part of the new threads created before today so I understand that it continued, but do youguys instead of having the construction thread I created want construction for each thread? I can ask Brondemir to delete the construction thread then.

And are we going to have threads for areas like Sollentuna? Shall we split up the Stockholm thread that much too and start making new ones for Nacka, Solna etc?

I think we should be careful in the begining so we don't get hundreds of dead threads. .

the big once we already talked about is a good start in my opinion, and let some time pass buy and see if we manage to keep them active. . ortherwise it is probably better to go back to the old one big thread.

I kinda felt like I lost a bit of interest today if it is going to be a thread for each muncipality in greater Stockholm.
What I thought was great with this subforum too was that it wasn't that many threads and we'd get a better overview.

So what other threads are there to make? Årstafältet? other?

One thread that is made is Hammarby sjöstad, but it is almost finished isn't it? Planing wise I think there is one project left which will be going up the planing stages.
There are construction going on and if construction pictures are to be put in each thread instead of in a common one then I suppose there is an idea of it. Put it doesn't strike me as a large construction or planing area anymore.

in my opinion i think årstafältet is a bit early, nothing will start there for years? (Årsta golf just got four more years on their contract (until 2015))

Täby C / Galoppfältet could be a tread IF someone will make regular updates, its a huge project but unnecessary if no one active enough lives/works out there.

^^

I didn't know that about Årsta Golf!

I too hope the thread starters will make regular updates.

Hi!

I still wish for a thread about Solna.

I Solna we have a lot of construction project ongoing. "Aula vid Karolinska Institutet", "Folkhälsohuset", "Nya Karolinska Solna", "Frösunda Park", "Järvastaden", "kv Rudan", "kv Turkosen", "Nya Ulriksdal", "Huvudsta centrum", "Arenastaden" with Nationalarenan, Mall of Scandinavia and "Kontorshus för Vattenfall".

Upcoming project are "Bergshamra centrum with Torsken 3, Bergshamra centrum", "Nya studentbostäder i Huvudsta, kv Furiren", "Solna City with kv Fältet", "Nytt idrottsområde i Järvastaden, kv Krossen", "kv Lagern" (former Råsunda stadium), "kv Rödlöken", "Sparrisen 1", "kv Stora Frösunda (Bilia-området), kv "Totalisatorn m.fl. within Nya Ulriksdal", and "Tvärbana Norr".

Once I get to Stockholm I plan on taking a lot of photos for you guys. :) I want to keep this forum as active as possible so we can all enjoy it!

Bosco - if needed and the multi-thread thing works out we can find a way to add your excellent updates from the construction thread into them. If it doesn't work out then we can get them merged into one thread for you guys. I didn't expect this many threads to pop up straight away either. :lol:

/SolnaFunk

KS / KI are included in Hagastaden no need to split that huge project in to different threads.

But if someone will drive and keep a solna thread updated and active i don't see a problem. But so far updates from Solna are not really that frequent (but thats just my opinion)

I really hope that we aren't going towards thread mayhem and that it is perhaps more fun creating them then being active and updating them, I sincerely hope it won't be like that!

In fairness, Bosco, this doesn't happen in other parts of the forum. We just have to hope that people in Stockholm are motivated enough to keep posting updates (like you and VECTROTALENZIS do). :)

Shall I ask Þróndeimr to delete the construction pictures thread?

Shall I ask Þróndeimr to delete the construction pictures thread?

I wouldn't. It's nice to have a little photo blog too of non-specific updates. Sure, we can take pictures of specific projects too for the threads, but it's also good to have a catch all thread.

I dont understand why you guys make so much threads that are going to be dead. I thought that we should keep it as it was but starting a new consrtuction photo thread and threads for just the biggest new devolpments like hagasataden and Norra Djurgårdstaden and not for places like Sollentuna, that should we keep in the stockholm projects thread.

That is what I think but if you guys really feel like we are going to hold all this new threads alive so, Sure then it's fine!


another idea is to make threads for every single area in the city like

Central projects
Solna projects
Sundbyberg projects
Kista projects
and so on...

And then dont use threads for every single building as we do now. Insteed we post about the building in the thread for that area. But I don't know if thats a good idea or not?

So did I! :)

There are only a few that think that we should keep dividing so far but they seem to get it as they want.

Agree with you 100%

I am here all evening so just ask if some moderation is needed right now ( i will be busy the next two days).

It doesn't seem like you have decided on the thread titles yet, but let me just suggest something. I think it would be wise to post the construction photos in the local threads, that is where people will be searching for it. But you can keep the Construction update thread, somehow you can keep a summary of all the construction activity there, posting some construction pics a post linking to the original post in the local thread.

We used to have a construction thread in the Norwegian section, but the same pictures was also posted in the building thread, or city thread. However, the thread seem to have been dead for half a year now.

Btw, i stuck this thread so it will be on top, we can always unstuck it later when we've done discussing the section! ;)

i wouldn't minde to see Projects & Construction get renamed to Stockholm - Projects & Construction again, for us who use "Subscribed Threads" it just disappear among other similar threads.

Gud vad jobbigt detta blev! Kommer ju ta hur lång tid som helst att gå igenom alla trådar för att uppdatera sig eller så kommer de flesta bli döda och allt kommer fortsätta att diskuteras i project & construction. Trodde förändringen skulle göra det lättare att hänga med men det verkar blivit motsatt effekt :(

Vi får nog hålla oss några veckor innan vi verkligen ser hur det blir.

Personligen kommer jag att fortsätta att posta dom bilder jag tar i projects & construction och sen dubbelposta i dom separata trådarna som hålls aktiva.

Men hoppas verkligen att projects & construction fortsätter att vara "huvudtråden"

I think this is probably the best idea. We'll leave it for a week or so to see what happens with this, however, if people really prefer to just have one thread for projects and construction (the vote appears to be split down the middle at the moment) then we can just merge any projects not covered in the project and construction thread back and delete the superfluous threads.

How does that sound to everyone?

PS: I have moderator abilities here now so if anyone wants renaming, threads moved or deleted or threads merged, just send me a PM and I'll try to get it done as soon as possible. :)

Would people rather have the Stockholm QUICK LINKS thread on the main page, or in the Stockholm sub-forum? Bosco put a lot of effort into that thread and I would like to see it used.

Another option is, of course, to create a new thread and copy and paste everything from the old one into it so that we have a copy on the main Swedish page, and a copy in the Stockholm forum too.

Views?

^^I think Sthlm quick links should be here in the Stockholm forum. It's a bit non-intuitive and confusing to have it in the Swedish forum and moving it here would also make the Swedish forum feel simpler and "cleaner". All Sthlm stuff in the same place... :2cents:

Thanks for your input. That was my feeling too, but I want feedback from other users to see what they think about its location.

I think the main construction thread should be a sticky.

I think the main construction thread should be a sticky.

I think that's a pretty good idea. Given it is the most updated thread though it will be at the top most of the time. If the QUICK LINKS thread is moved here it would appear underneath the main construction thread so I'll sticky it for now and see what the consensus is on moving the Quick Links. :)

People are clearly unhappy with how the projects thread has been divided up by some users. So in response, I've merged all new information back into the projects thread which will be used as the main thread for Stockholm.

Please don't create specific district threads unless everyone approves of them as it has been shown that users clearly do not want them.

did you delete the thread i just spend allot off time to create? one of the threads most of us agreed on should exist? Hagastaden? Why?

^^ Oh whoops, I clicked that one by accident. My bad, sorry (there were so many new threads to delete or merge that it got caught up with those). I have restored that thread.

Thank you!

Det är glatt att se att vi nu har en moderator för det svenska forumet! så då kanske vi på riktigt kan börja prata om hur vi vill att vårt subforum ska se ut? (och faktiskt kunna implementera det)

själv hoppas jag på aktiva trådar och framför allt dom som är "sticky" nu ... vi är en liten stad och det behövs inte mycket mer för att få en bra översikt..

MEN jag hoppas också på fler trådar för enskilda projekt om det finns folk som är extra intresserade / aktiva i just det projektet. . men hundra trådar utan innehåll känns onödigt..

Men framför allt hoppas jag vi fortsätter rocka och att antalet inlägg inte går ner! senaste åren har stlmhs delen varit grymm!!! och det tror jag alla vi som har varit medlemmar några år kan hålla med om, så låt oss diskutera den kan ju bara bli bättre!

^^ Very positive, thank you!

Everyone - you can always send me private messages too if you are unhappy with something or if you want something changed. I will listen to your views and, if the majority agree, will put something in place.

At the end of the day, I am here to help (and eventually when I move to Stockholm contribute with you guys). I can't wait to start taking photos myself! :colgate:

Hello, everyone! I would like to suggest adding a new status for the projects that are in the early stages of planing or are not very likelly to be realized in the nearest future - vision. Changing a status of some 'proposed' projects that are visions/ideas would make it easier to follow and discuss the changes that were made after some time.
What do you, guys, think about this idea?

I like it. There is a real difference between those that are real proposals and those that are just an architects idea or a politicians dream.

Ever since Stockholm got divided into a sub forum, traffic has decreased I reckon. Maybe we should go back to how it was before....

well thats because one person was driving the whole thing! (the thread i mean)

Personally i hope Boscorelli will get his inspiration back but in the mean while it's up to us all the other members to keep it alive, it's been working before?

and also we have stunning weather right now so it is a bit understandable that people aren't glued to their computers right now :) (but bring your camera outside and get us some updates :) )

Boscorelli was the driving force behind the swedish forum. Always posting great info. :okay: I hope he will be back soon.

That is also a great oppertunity for all of us to go out and take some new construction pix. :cheers:

I'm really hoping you guys do take a lot of pictures and post projects, I'm looking forward to making comments about them! :)

Yeah, it's more to do with the fact that Bosco kept the forum going. Hopefully this will encourage Stockholm members to post more though.

Exactly it might just be a good thing!

I also think that you as the swedish mod is expected to post plenty of project updates! And I'm looking forward to that! :) You probably need to be the driving force as Swede once was!

Aiiyahh! I will try my best once I have sorted out my life. I am currently packing my stuff in Auckland, trying to find apartments in Stockholm, finalising my employment at the Karolinska, sorting out visas for my partner so I'm rather busy at the moment. But hopefully once things calm down I will try my best. ;)

Besides, a mods job isn't that glamerous - all we do is sweep up messes and help out forumers so that their experience is the best it can be. :)

That all said, I do really miss your updates and, like i said in the other thread, I would really hope you'd start posting again in the future as you were really inspirational for everyone (and hopefully will be inspirational in the future too).

Karolinska solna or huddinge?

I'm a bit confused, why do we have both "Projects & Construction" and "Construction Pictures" ??

I put my construction updates in "Projects & Construction" like i always have done but now i see that "Construction Pictures" was active and people where posting there. Witch way is it supposed to be? I don't mind posting in "Construction Pictures" if that is the way it is supposed to be but then the name of "Projects & Construction" is just confusing. And why would we want to separate them?

please enlighten me :)

As far as i remember the "Projects & Construction" thread was left for posting some "hot" news about different/smaller projects which would be recognized more easilly. The "Construction Pictures" thread was designed for posting construction pictures only.
While the themes are quite different, it is still confusing to choose the right thread for posting ones pictures. Hopefully, the question will be solved soon.

okay .. .I must have missed that totally. .

But i can't say i like it, it has killed the "main" thread totally!

^^ Word.

Suggestions for how to rectify the problem? Remember guys, the thread died because of the lack of Boscoupdates. ;)

merge the construction thread in to the main thread then we are back the way it always have been.

That thread was alive long before bosco started with hes mega-postings :) and i'm quite sure that it will pop back to life again, people just got lazy when bosco did all the work :)

but in the mean time i think we should focus all the posts there again.

Okay, does everyone else agree with this? If so I'll do it. :)

Best thing would probably be to keep the construction photos where it belongs, not separated them from its projects thread, whether its in the
main Projects & Construction thread or in a project thread. Important when creating a new section, especially the way we're doing it, don't try
to make everything different all at once, let it grow its own way.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/cityw/Skyscrapercity/BETWEENBAR_3pix.jpg

I've been trying to organize the Oslo subsection. In Oslo we decided not to create many more threads, the main thread is as alive and kicking as
before. We have only started threads (the threads were started over a month in time) for the biggest masterplan projects such as Aker Brygge (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1404628),
Økern (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1408058), Ensjøbyen (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1392990) and Kværnerbyen (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1391836). Then a overview is created in one thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3070) which is a sticky thread (to have several sticky threads usually
makes a section more unorganized).

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/cityw/Skyscrapercity/BETWEENBAR_3pix.jpg

Also, all threads were categorized by PROJECT, MASTERPLAN or FJORDCITY to make it a little easier to navigate through. Then, something i am
still working on, to have the first posts in all the threads informative, updated and with a good layout, and quicklinks further into the thread
(examples: Sørenga (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=972196), Operaens Omgivelser (Munch Museum and Deichman Library) (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=944576), Nasjonalmuseet (Forum Artis) (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1257887), Holmenkollen (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=520208) and even ancient
threads such as The big Fjordcity thread! (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=102067)).

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/cityw/Skyscrapercity/BETWEENBAR_3pix.jpg

When creating new threads make sure people find the thread interesting and engaging. I see many threads created such as this (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1395060) (no offense to
the thread creator!). Its an example of a thread about a project which everybody knows about, a gigantic masterplan project worth pages of
discussion, but nobody seem to find it interesting yet, so the thread has been dead since its creation. So when creating a new thread, i hope
the forumer creating it put a lot of work in the first post who can kick forward engagement and discussions. Always a hit in new threads, big
renderings, many renderings and new renderings, some text, but people doesn't seem to bother reading too much. Then if you have few
renderings, add few text, if you have many renderings, add more text to keep the balance which seem to be more engaging to users to read/view.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/cityw/Skyscrapercity/BETWEENBAR_3pix.jpg

I hope someone get some inspiration, because a section need one or more forumers who are really engaged in the section and has the creativity
and the spirit to do whatever he like to do! And he should not bother to ask for permittion to do what he has on his mind!

I promise I'll do it when I move back home!:) Everything's been chaos after my appartment got trashed.

And the Stockholm-section definately needs someone to take a step up!

I know it's night now but I hope I and a few others are not going to be the only one posting? ;)

And please people during the daytime make comments, negativ or positive, otherwise it is not worth while searching for stuff to post or taking photos, one loses interest prety fast, felt a bit of a dip today I must say, so I activated myself tonight doing some searches hoping for responses tomorrow. :)

So many people read the swedish and Stockholm threads so it could really be much more active through out! :)

Time to sleep!

Hey why don't we all start a discussion about which browser we use like in the norwegian section right now, nothing to do with general development but the norwegian mod doesn't seem to mind! :D

Or what we are eating or drinking while reading the posts or what computors we are using or whatever. ;)

I thought somethoing exciting was going on there since it was rush traffic but no! :)

huh, what?? Am i missing something?? :weird:

Btw, some nice new projects you've been posting lately! :okay:

The worst part of it, is that it is more interesting to discuss browsers than following cases though the municipal bureaucracy...

But, yes, I'm eating yoghurt with apples and cinnamon.

*feeding the troll*:lol:

:)

I was thinking shouldn't it be a good idea to unstick the Stockholm projects thread? Does such an active thread really need to have a sticky?

As in the Norway section, the only threads that should be a sticky is the general introduction (quick link thread, summary of projects etc.) threads, not updating projects and construction threads. It does not work any good, looks messy and is messy.

Its a good idea to unstick them. :)

@Svartmetall

What do you think about the idea to unstick the projects thread?

No reaction ?

@Svartmetall

What do you think about the idea to unstick the projects thread?

I can do that if everyone wants me to.

Personally I really don't understand why the most active thread is a sticky?

Well, for now I've unstickied everything. If people protest I can always make them sticky again. Have fun guys! :)

what should we do now about the quick links threads, when the doesn't work at all anymore?? :ohno:

Hey! :)

I would really like to restart the quick links thread for Stockholm but then the Stockholm project thread is to large. It would be an esier task o do so if the Stockholm project thread was restarted.

What about the idea to restart the Stockholm project thread from scratch in a Stockholm Project thread version III?

It has been done before since there is an older Stockholm project thread then the present one too.

Well the old "restart" was not not a restart if im not all wrong, in the old forum the threads started to act strange when they got to many pages.. But thats many years ago so i can be totaly wrong :)

But anyhow, go a head! i don´t mind as long as we get activity in it! :)

ps.
and i still think we should include the construction pictures in the main sthlm thread.

Seems like quite a few want's that to be the case too.

I hope the restart can be done! :) More opinions from members?

I'm all for it! I'd love for things to go back to the way it used to be, ie one major projects thread and separate threads for various highrises.

It would be very nice if you guys that read the Stockholm project thread but never or rarely make a comment also expressed your opinions! :)

I'm not against it as long there will be activity on the new thread, and that the new thread and the new quicklink thread is well sorted, clear and easy to follow, I also want the nicest pics and updates from the old thread to be saved or transferred to the new thread or something.

And I aslo think that we should have both project renders and construction pics in the same thread! :)


:cheers:

That is the whole idea with having a quick link. :)

^^ yea I know but I mean, How will the new Stockholm projects thread be built up. Will it just begin with some random project that anybody posts or how will it be?

And I was also worried about all the nice information in the old thread to go lost!

^^

But it won't be deleted or anything, it will of course be locked for new comments but it won't get deleted.

We can decide on some general look of it, that people will try to stick to when posting projects to make it look nice.
Everyone never will but the most active hopefully will and this to make it look as nice as possible and with as much information as possible and sources and so on ...

Like (just an example)

Basaren
Kungsholmen

*Words about the project

*Then Architect

*Then pictures

*Then some other information if needed

*And finally a link to the source

With in this example the project name in bold and size 5 and the district in size 3 but not bold.
(That is not as I have done it earlier, but it is just an example, I have earlier chosen bold for both Basaren and Kungsholmen but the same sizes as above, 5 and then 3)

Someone else might have other better ideas.

Svartmetall doesn't seem to be active that much anymore, probably studies I suppose. I hope he will visit the forum today! :)

Jag är för att starta om. Känns som nuvarande tråd är tillräckligt stor. Vore även bra om vi får en ordentlig struktur på inläggen som alla aktiva kan tänka sig att följa :)

OT: Var väl åratal sedan jag skrev något här? :/

OnT: Jag röstar också för en ny omstart! Även fast jag nästintill aldrig skriver något här tycker jag gärna om att på daglig basis skumma igenom de olika trådarna. Dock kan jag tycka att det just nu är lite för ostrukturerat med massor av trådar för respektive projekt vilket således gör att aktiviteten i dem stora trådarna minskar.
Starta gärna om och flytta över de flesta projekten och ''construction pictures'' till huvudtråden, tror att aktiviteten kommer att öka då (och det blir betydligt lättare att få en överblick över dem flesta projekten) ! :)

I made a new thread and posted it but it can be deleted if it doesn't fall in good hands (swenglish?).

I stated how the structure could be done but the look of it and more can be changed and discussed here further, if it is decided to be kept that is.

I hope it will! :)

Don't post in the new thread yet please! :)

Well I want more Swedish in the thread since I am horrible at English :)

Well I want more Swedish in the thread since I am horrible at English :)

Det är helt valfritt i de nationella sektionerna och jag skulle kunna tänka mig att skriva enbart på svenska om de flesta vill det, nu växlar jag.

It is an international forum and most people don´t speak swedish! so i will continue using english for the non swedish people . i know how annoyed i get in other sections when they write in a language i cant understand :)

but if you suck at english, hey! write in swedish!! it is already mixed langue thread.

I hope we will have decision soon! :)

In my opinion the new suggestion is fine. However, I can't promise I will manage sticking to the template if I ever post any updates :P

No of course not everyone will use it or has got to, but it is nice if it looks nice, that's all! :)

I'm surprised that no decision is taken yet.

I saw that Svartmetall was online yesterday, so I don't now why there isn't a single comment here?

Perhaps Þróndeimr can take a decision?

A yes or no, whatever is better then silence!

If this was a bad idea then it was a bad idea, nothing more than that, at least it was an idea. :)

maybe today then :)

Really sorry about the late response here. I'm still busy trying to get my studies in order, set up life in Sweden and everything else associated with that (I finally have my person number so I guess I was officially born in Sweden yesterday :D).

Okay, so here are my views:

#1. There are no limits on thread sizes now on SSC.
#2. If everyone feels that a new project thread is a good idea, then I support it 100%. Bosco has done an excellent job in the past setting up threads and doing other such projects around the Swedish section so I support all of his hard work.
#3. I can lock the existing Stockholm project thread once the new thread is set up.
#4. I also think the format that Bosco proposes is a good one. It identifies all key features of projects whilst making sure that source material is properly cited too so that everyone can go and get the information right from the horses mouth (so to speak).

So yes, go for it, Bosco! Start a new thread!

With regards to my activity on the forum, I hope to be more active once I get properly registered and less of my time is taken up with bureaucratic nonsense. I will probably try my best to be most active during the weekend, however, will check messages on a daily basis when possible. If you need anything done urgently, always PM me as it takes far less effort to sign in and see a PM than it does to go through every thread to make sure things are running smoothly.

Hope that helps guys! :)

^^

Great! :)

And it would be great it both the old Project & Construction and the Construction Pictures thread were locked.

I was a bit unpatient yesterday so I have already started the new one.
I learned yesterday though that there is a test site (don't know where though) to test threads but I didn't know that. Sorry for testing it here yeterday!

So the new thread is up! :)

since you are the thread maestro now can you give us i nice structure for the construction pics as well? :)

^^

Gosh! What is the best ting then?

Something like this?

Aula
Solna

*Then something about it?

*Architect?

*Photographer?

*Pictures?

Project name in bold and size 5 and District size 3 but not bold?

Aula
Solna

maybe a link to the project if we have it here. or to an external site.

*Then something about it?

*Architect?

*Photographer? only if it soneone els then the poster..

*Pictures? yes pictures would be good ;)

Yes that is great! And pictures is always a good thing. :lol:

But I think one has to state that the photographer is for instance Gosatta or Boscorelli even if it is your own picture. I think it's in the guidelines but I might be wrong?

It is good to state exactly where the picture was sourced from even if it is your own. At least if you state it is your own you're covered from questions by any nosy admins. :lol:

Apologies for lack of presence here... I'm very sick at the moment and will hopefully get well soon. I am still checking PM's daily if I am able though.

Get well soon! :)

Now with the new sthlm thread should we still keep for example the hagastaden thread?

if so i will update it with the pics from this thread otherwise i will skip it :)

^^

I don't know! There were opinions put forward earlier to have one thread for general projects and that the other threads should be highrise threads.

It would be great with more thoughts but you also created the thread, so what do you think?

since no one is saying anything i guess i do as I please ;)

so ill go back to the first ide, post everything in both sthlm projects and in the hagastaden thread. . that way it get collected in one place witch can be nice since the project is huge.

^^

That sounds like a good idea! :)

Det har blivit lite förvirrat angående 'construction pictures' tråden, skulle inte den vara låst precis som den gamla Stockholm Project tråden?

Hade också fått för mig detta!

Ja in med den i "huvudtråden" !!

If people would like the Construction Photos thread locked, then please say so. I'm happy to do it.

In my opinion, a lowly lurker, it would be better to lock it. Make the Stockholm Projects thread more important and active.

Well, given that Bosco, GoSatta and others want to lock it, I'll do that now. If anyone wants to raise objections feel free to do so here.

I think it's great that we got it all together and as someone pointed out at an eaerlier stage some people only follow the main thread.

Sorry to hear that :(

I have missed all that since I'm rarely there but after a quick Icebar check just now I can't find a trace of it so someone must have cleaned out a lot of posts.

I think the Nordic countries should have a direct link under the Euroscrapers headline at the frontpage anyway like the other countries do. It must sometimes be hard for non-Nordic forumers to find us the way it is now.

I am sorry Boscorelli and other Swedish forumers if you feel mistreated by me in any way, its not what i intend to do. These accusations against me is quite incredible though but ill let other mods see into to it to see what's right and wrong so that i won't be accused of more. And i've never tried to get your for anything Bosco, its all a imagination you have.

If so many of the Swedish forumers want that Sweden want to leave N&B i will have to set up a poll to you all to vote on and discuss, then ill take it up with the more higher mod's and admins as i have no authority to take the final decision there. I cannot tell what are the chances of this becoming a reality though as it not up to me. As bosco has asked this before and claim i have not taken it seriously since it didn't happen, yes i took it seriously and discussed if with the other mods, the decision was to make no change, so no need in accusing me of doing a shitty job.

edit

Nah, let Sweden stay with the Scandinavia & Baltics, that's where we belong among our friends. If anyone is getting to anyones nerve, isn't there an ignore function somewhere?

edit

I agree that it's quite difficult to find the swedish (norwegian etc) section as a new user.

Maybe we could make a forum for each country but still leave the icebar as it is, multinational, so that the important stuff can be found easier but the place ''to relax'' stays as it is?!

I know I'm not very active at the moment, but I'm planning to be more active when I've moved to Uppsala so I'm glad about any improvements here :)

Yes, how hard can it be to set up this?

Okay, I've read all the PM's and the exchange that has occurred here.

Firstly, I would like to thank Þróndeimr for his professionalism. It will please all Swedish members to know that no posts have been deleted so all moderators and admins can read them, but regular members can, currently not. This is so that we, as moderators of the site, can pass judgement on everything that has occurred and to stop ill feeling from spreading across the forum.

A few general comments:

#1. Moderators cannot permanently delete items. Admins can, however, it causes database issues and so we almost 99.99% of the time soft delete things so members cannot see them and moderators have to choose to see them, but they are all there so that there is oversight.

#2. Moderators cannot easily alter post counts (in fact I think only admins can really make a difference to them, and even then why would they). Things like this screw with the database and we'll have a very angry sys-admin after us and our moderator privileges. When moderators do actions such as move posts around, re-distribute posts to other threads etc, the database doesn't always count posts correctly and, therefore, post counts can do odd things when the database is rearranged.

#3. If moderators spam the forum, we are liable to discipline in the same way as regular members. We are not without our own form of moderation of our posts. We are always open to scrutiny and, therefore, anything that we do can come back to bite us if we abuse our powers.

I've been a mod on-and-off for a few years now and I currently moderate three different sections on SSC and I can tell you that it isn't an easy job. We're rarely thanked, we are expected to act immediately on things by members and we are constantly challenged when people disagree with us. It is for this reason that I am glad that the moderators of the N&B section work well together. I have found my Danish and Norwegian moderators to be very forthright in decision making that affects the N&B section as a whole including any actions against members. We generally message each other and make mutual decisions rather than unilateral decisions especially when members from other countries are concerned.

I respect the work that all members of the N&B section do and I am sorry to hear of disagreements, however, we should all be working together to make this place as informative as possible, and I feel that is what most members are doing. We have our off-topic section for nonsense and news not related to the forum, and by in large, I'd say we keep discussions on-topic in the country sections.

I thought I'd better make a public post as the Swedish moderator and also as someone who is neutral in this whole matter. I would suggest that we all take a step back and come back tomorrow with some fresh information and enthusiasm to make our respective sections on the N&B forum a better place.
