First of all, what was happening at 2:08 am on Monday July 16 2007 (vis. most ever ILP users on line)?
How about a Forum that attempts to 1) indicate a user-helpful history of ILP, and 2) provide a goal/template for excellence in posting?
It could start out as something on the order of an ILP greatest hits forum, where moderators would post links to past threads that they think are most worth making available to the general user, i.e. as examples of ILP’s storied past.
It could evolve through current users posting an annual nomination of a thread that they learned the most from … which is to say, not a thread where they themselves were necessarily at their oratorical best, but a thread where they could state something about what they learned from another’s or others’ edifications. The resulting nominations could be brought to vote in various categories on an annual basis, so to then lock and preserve the greatest hits of 2009, etc.
This would also provide non-member users a good spot to check out what ILP is capable of.
