Cleaning up the Dead Universe Issue Lists section

Post by Chiclo »

The stickies in the Dead Universe Issue Lists section are almost filling up the whole first page. There are some issue lists that aren't stickies and some threads that aren't issue lists but questions on issue lists or issues in general.

I was thinking it would make more sense to trim some of the threads that would be more appropriate in this section - not delete them, but move them here. Specifically, the threads Price Check on some limited Ultraverse books, Marvel 2099 Issue Checklist? and the redundant Topps Comics Checklist should probably be moved over here.

Secondly, I think it would be more efficient to de-sticky-ify all the checklists and make the Official Format for Issue Lists thread the only sticky in that forum for right now since if we do the first thing and continue to keep the section true to purpose, all that will be there are issue lists and the format thread.

I think these two things would make the DUIL section more efficient to use. I've been pouring over these lists for the last couple of weeks and have given this a lot of thought and rather than go directly to Knightt about it, thought it would be a good discussion to have within our little community within the community.

I agree with anything that will help the DU checklists be as comprehensive and easily accessible as possible. I reference them often in my hunts.

Maybe we could make one sticky thread. That thread should have as its only post, links to the checklist threads in alphabetical order.

I don't know if this is a good idea or not but how about merging some of the DU lists together like the various Malibu lines, (like Genesis, Ultraverse, and Bruvara) into one thread since they're from the same company. Then in the thread itself separate the lines in separate posts in the thread. The same would go with Marvel, DC, or anybody else, I mean it seems sort of wasteful to have 3 or 4 threads for one company.
