Should we create a highrise section (easiest), or should i start a "Quick Links" thread on top to try to organize it?

I think your first option is the easiest. On a quicklist you don't see last time a tread was updated/replied in.

I think the quicklinks option is better. I mean, is there really enough activity in the Norwegian subforum to warrant two separate subforums?

Besides, it's already pretty easy to pıck out which threads are skyscraper threads by the 'OSLO | Insert building here' label.

Great I'm going to copy your initiative Þróndeimr to the Stockholm projects thread!
Sorry for jumping in like this! ;)

What about setting the most importent threads as sticky?

Glad to see you are taking the lead in the management of your sub-forum. We are doing the same :)

Go with Quicklinks tread! I think only the quick-links/information tread should be sticky, if we get a 100m+ building U/C, then it deserves a sticky!

Agreed. No stickys! We have now only enough threads to go into page 3, so it's not a huge archive we're talking about. If there should be a boom of smaller threads, then maybe, but lets deal with that then!

If/when Føniks get's U/C it deserves a sticky, probably won't be to many updates considering our lack of Stavanger forumers!

We dont need a highrise section, but what the hell, lets just make one anyway :) it'd make things more tidy!

and what the heck is føniks?

it'd make things more tidy!

Thats reason enough if you ask me.

Føniks is a proposed highrise in Forus, Stavanger (is a thread here somewhere), but i really dont see why it should be sticky:lol:

and what the heck is føniks?

This is why Føniks needs a sticky, it's to important to be 2nd page imo. - it's will definatly be the most important highrise-project in the country - and that's why it needs a sticky when it starts construction - in principle i think 100meter U/C buildings deserves sticky, there will not be many of them either way.

@City of rain: According to our last information Føniks was supposed to start this month (October.) altough i highly doubt it will start yet. It's located at Forus between Sandnes and Stavanger, it will reach 115 meters.

I don't think we need a separate highrise-section.

Ok, i will make a quick-links thread then which we make sticky, for now.

In the future i'd love to have a section if activity goes up more. From there you can divide up more, either dividing cities or status on the projects.

But i hope people actually use the quick link function and discover it all, as City of Rain sais, he has never heard about Føniks...

Thats why i feel dividing it up a bit more is the best. People are lazy, but if they just see the thread they open it and say something = activity goes up.

still working on the thread, done with the links, but gonna do more out of it.

trondheimr, great job youve done with the quick link thread!

are we allowed to post in it, or do you plan on just getting it locked?

i just wanted to say that we should do some research to find out which of those projects are still alive.. cause i think that a handfull of them arent. i also have some new projects in bergen that ill probably make threads for in the coming days (like gulatinget.. and bybanen, does it even have its own thread!?)

:)

^^ no use that thread instead now. and make suggestions, criticize etc. it (if it sucks say so, if its good say so because when one use many hours on making things for free he needs feedbacks, its extremely important!) :)

If its not a bigger thread, why not just post it in the Bergen development thread?

I want to keep the building-threads to a minimum like we have done until we have a section for it. Unless everyone else agrees of course. :)

its already been posted in the bergen thread.

when will we have our own section for buildings/highrises?

^^Great work brodmeir

Agree, keep it to a minimum of threads. Own threads only to bigger/interesting city developments projects so we dont get a bunch of threads with 10 responses. Dokken, Nygårdstangen and mindemyren may all need their own threads when the time is in, which probably wont happend for some years...

when will we have our own section for buildings/highrises?

Well i did not start a poll, but i asked who wanted a section for highrises/buildings and a majority said lets keep it as now and make a sticky thread with links to all the highrises we have.

So thats what i have done. But if we start making threads for every single small project in Norway we will have 50 new threads shortly = messy (unless we made that highrise/building section). Anyway, starting threads for smaller projects might not be that good since the activity in many of them will be low. Anyway, we should keep the city threads alive instead! :)

Why do you keep calling him that? It's just as easy just marking his name, then click ctrl+c, then place the cursor in the text window, then click ctrl+v.:)

^^ i didn't make it easy for people did i! :D

Dont be so picky :)

and bybanen, does it even have its own thread!?)

:)


Actually yes, http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=601195

ah, well.. its not in this section and its way too messy anyway.

maybe i should make one with a decent and informative first post etc? :)

^^ please do so! we need activity! :)

^^ please do so! we need activity! :)

Done :)

I think the Fjordcity thread should be a sticky. Further, if anyone wants to do it, we should probably make a new Fjordcity thread. The old one needs a serious update/refresh. I don't see Northstar among us anymore, and I haven't got the energy myself, so...

Neh, no more sticky's. Ill rather make one more post in the QUICK LINK thread with links to city threads, with local city development threads under it.

A new fjordcity thread? well it needs to be done by someone who knows how to make fucking awesome opening posts i guess, who can that be?

I see threads from as late as October dying on us (moving to the next page, I mean). Do we have too many threads? Do we need better arranging or subforums? :dunno: Statisticly, none of the other national subforums are even close (though the Icebar and the Photos sections are worse).

So what do people think?

Own section for "Highrises"? We can call that section "Buildings" and include other interesting lowrise developments?

what if, instead of each highrise having its own thread, we could have 1 thread for all of them and use the QUICKLINK thread to link to posts, instead of threads.

actually, we could use the quicklink thread for all the highrise projects.

or maybe, the ones that are proposed only/not of very høy betydelighet.

i agree that the board doesnt work really great the way things are now!

^^ i am already doing that. The QUICK LINK NORWAY thread does now include all active highrise projects in Norway, but only in the picture sheet in the first post. The highrises who don't have its own thread have been cnnected with a post where i have posted renderings and information, thats why all my posts in the "All new Norwegian highrises" lately. "All new Norwegian highrises" is the thread where its only about highrise developments in all of Norway.

No, many of the highrise threads have loads of replies and interesting discussions and we can follow each highrise closely in its progress. We just have to make threads for the highrises that actually do progress.

It's fine the way it is :) I do think the Quicklinks should include all citycompilation treads aswell and even the Highways tread.

^^ done, or more or less done, forgot "construction update" and will make a link to the Highway thread in the infastructure section as well.
