I know the mods like to keep pinned threads to a minimum, but you could bookmark the horror thread personally. That way, it’ll be saved for you and you’ll be able to access it faster.

That makes sense, thank you for the idea. I'd still be in favor of them pinning it though

Ok, here's one that's lingered far too longer... Every day my bookmark section indicates there's at least 1 unread thread. Yet there is usually no unread thread. And when I get an indication of 3 or 4 unread bookmarked threads, that means there's only 2 or 3 that are unread - the phantom 1 is always there in the mix. I've even marked all forums read and it's. still. there. I recall this happening a year or so back and it went away suddenly, only to return some months later and it plagues me still. Halp? Pardon the resurrection of an old post, but I just noticed that my "phantom 1" bookmark has finally (and truly?) moved on to the other side and is one with the Force, and felt the need to acknowledge this to someone besides the voices in my head. It seems so weird not to see it now that it's gone (of course), but caloo calay it's a new day (yes it is).

Is there a reason why I now get the notification when a bookmarked thread gets a new post under "Profile" instead of "Bookmarks"?

Okay so I feel like I need to say this because no one else is. Your Impact Wrestling section here is on the scrap heap because of poor moderation and management and is solely on your shoulders. Your boards were born from making jokes about the crappy side of the business but the real meat and potatoes discussion and the users that tried to dissect the more relevant wrestling news of the day were welcomed and the mods were the line between things getting too serious when things are supposed to be jokey and vice versa. This balance has been disturbed and allowed to remain so as a result of personal biases by moderators here. The bar swayed too heavy in one direction and the jokey derivative side was not only allowed to thrive in the face of many who tried to solve the problem and have since been ran off but was encouraged by the aforementioned higher ups who on multiple occasions simply added into the pile on. I would blame the decline on IMPACT's down years which saw many leave the fanbase however that doesn't explain the fact that every other wrestling forum and social media outlet is growing in support of the brand while here on FAN the status quo remains as you do not accommodate any alternative voices that are not a part of that. In those instances that someone does speak up the response is very dismissive and mocking which results in them not sticking around or assimilating to fit in with your line of thinking to avoid the troubles that come with speaking out. I don't really visit the boards anymore so I'm unsure as to how forums are growing but I would have thought you would be trying to grow and make the place as inviting as possible for everyone in the social media age where you face so much competition. Anyway as far as when you're identify failures in the Impact board when you inevitably scrap it at a point in time where more fans of the promotion are looking for a home than ever, maybe take a look at yourselves and how your moderation has let this spiral. This is all first hand accounts of things I've witnessed, if you disagree that's fine but the evidence is there.

Most people aren't interested in Impact and only remember it as a joke. It's hard for a board about the company to be active when it is primarily seen via Twitch.

We can vary from humorous topics, to serious ones. It's okay.

I would say the only drama caused is when people who actually want to enjoy the product are basically laughed out of town by an attitude perpetuated in part by your moderators here, I personally have made many discussion threads on positive elements of the company and others doing the same for the same agitators and flame baiters get away with the same things time and again and that goes unchecked due to bias. In any other board across the forum there's give and take and there's plenty of opinions in the subforum people are not "welcome to" in the eyes of the trolls who lurk there.

Have you ever pm'd an admin or mod about it?

You can't force people to be positive about a product they don't like. And a lot of the people positive about Impact/TNA either stopped being positive about it or stopped posting here one reason or another.
The other thing is that TNA just isn't a big company anymore. Being a smaller company means less fans which means less discussion. It'd probably have more fair (and likely more positive) representation here if it was just lumped in with (w)rest versus having its own board because of its status as the default No. 2 company, which it has lost quite some time ago.

In addition to that, a lot of people who a very negative about TNA, myself included in that, will give credit where it's due, but it's noted even by those who are watching and enjoying it (and as someone who is mostly on the TNA board for poking fun at it, there has been a real upturn in positive comments for the company) it's small, largely inconsequential and being watched by next to noone. Lucha Budgetground doesn't bear much in the way of buzz.

I don't post much on the Impact Board, but when I do say positive things on there, it's never met with any mocking or sarcasm. It's mostly ignored, like the majority of my posts, haha.
But my point is...I just haven't seen it firsthand. And I've been here a while.
I will say, though, that if something is brought to the attention of the mods and admins, they tend to take care of it pretty swiftly.

Part of me would like to start a thread to discuss trigger warnings, content filters, muting words etc online, as it's something I've gained a greater appreciation of the need for in recent times, with current media stories affecting me more than I'd expected.
Good idea? Bad idea? I feel like it could be an interesting topic but it is something that could get emotionally charged and possibly open up into politics or ideological discussion which never usually ends well.

Can I open a topic about Leaving Neverland once I have watched it? Or is the subject matter not right for the forum?

Dumb question - scored a ticket for a RAW two weeks after Mania. That’s cool to do a post on, right? Or should I save it for when the viewing thread goes up for the evening?
