How 'bout an 'unanswered questions' forum?

I don't know how flexible this BBS software is, but it sure would be nice if there was a forum that copied unanswered posts to another forum called 'How Slick Are You?' or something like that. It would help newbies who post and then their post disappears to another page, unanswered, and it would help the more advanced users who sometimes just want to answer some questions at lunchtime or something.

Also, can we please put a link to the LNO Homepage on all the other pages somewhere? The LNO banner goes to the NHF page!

it'd need a human moderator who goes to all the forums and dumps them manually or something...kinda like 2d level tech support works...

wait... Stike is that person! ;)

Not really...

the way the data for this board is stored, you could probably write a fairly simple shell, awk or perl script to just copy posts showing a '0' in the replies column to another table or file, which would then be converted to HTML and would show up as another forum. I'm not saying it would take 5 minutes, but it shouldn't be hard by any means.

Of course, I know that just because a question HAS a reply doesn't mean it's answered, but one with 0 replies is DEFINITELY not answered.

I'm just thinking about all the times I see posts where people had to dig it up and post to it again themselves to move it back to the top and stuff.
