Smile Re: revival of old threads...

I also think it's from people searching old threads and pulling them back to life. The one about "Lettering in FIRST" and the pins is the one that sticks in my mind as being that way.

We could cut the postings down on CD a great deal. We could create a master thread about:

The GDC and how much we hate/like/don't care about this years game and how much we like/hate/don't care about the GDC's approach and how much our new idea that others will don't care/hate/like will improve things.

Similar thread on rules.

The control hardware: there is enough fodder from the prior years on the changes and how much we hate/like/don't care of all the control systems to create some pretty decent threads. We just need to replace IFI controller, cRIO, etc. with a generic name.

Next years game. We could cut a few thousand threads down to four threads:
-- How much better it will be
-- How much worse it will be
-- How much I can't wait (with the starter line of "Only 270 days till next season"
-- Why it will never be a water game

That trims us to threads on how much competition robotics has changed our lives for the better and the birthday thread.

I for one welcome our new thread trimmed overlords, it will cut my CD time way down
