By all means isn't a bashing or complaining thread, but rather a feedback one. Ive been noticing the average time that a thread will be displayed on the "home" screen is around 10-15 min. Its an average of course, but during times where everyone is active (around dinner time), it can be less than 5 min.
Reason I bring this up, is I did a search in the unanswered threads section here and the number is quite high. Few of mine have fallen here only because the sheer amount of active users I think. Having a large community is great don't get me wrong, but it has its drawbacks and this is just one of them. There's literally thousands of users yet so many threads go unseen/answered. Could just be window shoppers, or people whom aren't confident or even knowledgeable enough to post, i get it.
Perhaps switching the 15 allocated slots for Recent Threads with the 25 that the Sponsors get, could help more people to see more new content at once. Now I get that the revenue flows from these companies to fund the site, but aren't we all here to get some info and questions answered ASAP? Switching the 10 sponsor slots given to general threads could help the "mean" time in which threads stay in the "lime light" so to speak. For conciliation, move the sponsors up to the top with 10 slots, and general threads where sponsors used to be with 25 viewable threads...?
Sure, we can use the search bar for related topics and previously created threads, but I have a question about a relatively new piece of equipment that I KNOW I wont be the first and only one to ask about. I think having 30 threads that are vaguely similar on here clutters things up and will add to the lack of response, because someone already poured everything they had into a response in a similar thread that was skipped because of this dilemma. Sometimes ill click on a thread at the top of the list and by the time i get done catching up, its already gone!
Just my .02 is all.
-Thanks
