MR has heard the plea before. It seems obvious to me they've chosen not to do it. I very much enjoy in depth posts, like Joe's posts on scenery, operation, etc. I also don't mind if they die out after a while - because frankly, a 15 page post is also pretty annoying. It's great when it's a couple pages, but by the time it's 15, you have to practically use the search function just to find what you're looking for within the post! Let's not forget this is a forum - it's meant to be fluid. It's not a static thing. Things come and go. How the heck would MR really decide what threads deserve the gold star, and which don't? Do you really want to see a poll for that? I sure don't. Is Bergie going to have that added to his job description? (Web site administrator, "Import Thread Designator"... To me, this forum is like a bunch of Post-it notes. Trying to use sticky's, "classic threads", etc. is like organizing little post-it notes all over your desk into stacks of post-it notes. That becomes a mess. If what you really want is a notebook, use a notebook, not post-it notes. Maybe a web equivalent to a notebook is if you really want something documented in a specific way, create a website for it, rather than trying to control a forum, which is more like a bunch of post-it notes. Consider also that in selecting certain threads over others, many will percieve this as "favoring". I could see it now... Here's a future thread topic: "Howcome My great thread on scratchbuilding wasn't added to the classics list". Response: "Because your thread didn't cut the mustard...." Initial Author's response: "That's it, I'm now upset at Model Railroader..." I seriously, seriously doubt Model Railroader will go for this. I think it would be a very poor PR move on thier part.
