Forum Suggestions & User Assistance - "Best of Bike Forums" sticky

Hey I was thinking that in the time I've been a member here on BF some threads are just SO outstanding that I would like to see them "showcased" somehow rather than just fading off into the misty archives.

First recent couple that come to mind...Cassave's How to Build a Lugged Steel Frame (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=399311) from the SoCal Forum..


East Hill's the kindness of a stranger (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=385777&highlight=stranger+gift) from C&V...


There was another good long thread where a "novice" posted planning a cross country trip and progressed from beginning (with the "incorrect" wrong sized bike), getting advice and then finally doing it...that was a good one, too, but I can't find it just now.

Any feedback? Comments? More favorite thread suggestions?

I don't know. The people posting in the thread posted in a particular area. They might not want it out in other areas.

I would agree. Keep it to the right area. I don't care about road bikes for example.

We have done this in mtb before. With a "featured" thread listing, I believe that feature went away with the newer installs. Worked quite well and really kept the featured threads in their respective homes.

I know I would be happy to share this story with anyone who cares to read it (because it's just so amazing), but I can see where other people might want to keep to their own forums.

I have a best of bikeforums collection of links specifically for C&V on my own website over on http://velobase.com in the links section (though it's woefully out of date at the moment). The C&V section also has a links thread that is stickied. When I get a chance, I'll ask the powers with their hands on the buttons of the software if something like this is possible with the current version.

The touring thread is caled Bike for Africa, and went from beginning to flic getting hit by a car and recovery after......

Epic thread, by the way. flic is a rather tough young lady. :D

Here's that thread

Without a shadow of doubt, this is the best thread to come out of BikeForums since I've been here - We're Going to Yell at You. (http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=200479)
