I was thinking about all the threads I’ve made since I’ve been present on this forum (too many) and all the ones I’ve enjoyed and unless someone brings them back up they are lost forever.
These might be enjoyed especially by new members.
Hence, I’m starting a library of threads.
I will start with my own and please add any you have enjoyed.
These are mainly from memory, as I can’t find a place on the forum that just lists threads:
News/current affairs:

What novel/film would you like to live in and why:

There are more to come but I want to see if this pastes OK or if I get send into Coventry by the spamometer.

I think it's a good idea Debbie, I have learned that this forum can be fast moving, threads quickly disappear into the abyss unless we keep them current.
Many of your threads that I've seen are too good those imo.
I think this is a useful thread to have, thanks Debbie for making it.
Not everybody thinks to use the search and to be fair it doesn't always bring up the results you're hoping for. Hence so many people make new posts when there's plenty of still functioning original.
Thank you
I think its kind of a good idea. Sure it may get over crowded and hard to find stuff eventually but it would be easier to just search up Library of Threads to find all the post you like, instead of trying to remember all the names of the treads.
If you go to your profile, use the 'Questions' option and you will get your posting history ~ although it does include other people's postings on those threads as well.
I think that using the search function is much easier than having to scroll through a thread that contains random threads that any community member could add whatever they like. A library thread could easily run into 10's of pages which IMHO defeats that object of what Debbie is suggesting.
If there is real interest in a particular thread (even an older thread) then I would think that people would "reignite" it by posting a comment. This is something that is not as rare as you may imagine.
Sorry Debbie - thank you for the intent though
why would they be lost? there is a search function.
What era would you like to live in and why?

I am hoping that posting one link at a time won't throw me into spam.
