The social groups would be a great place for DYK with just few exceptions.

First of all, you can't quote anyone in there, which makes conversations difficult. There are fewer options such as uploading photos from one's pc, they have to be done from online hosting. You don't have the "40 post/page" option, which can really make it difficult to try to nagivate through tons of posts. There's also no "new posts" tag to take you back to where you left off at your last visit.

Ok, ok...enough with the negative waves, Moriarty. :P

You can also run C.S. side by side (I did) and have the boards and the social group up at the same time....
HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Social groups are so difficult to read, backwards, that they are barely worth looking at. Just my opinion.

Why not just find out how many people on here have dial-up instead? Even in rural areas many do now have the capability to switch over and in 5 years I would say the vast percentage of our country will have this access. Look at what is happening with TV signals...they are ALL going digital despite the fact that not everyone can afford to convert. There is no such thing as fair for all- decisions are made on the majority which will always ignore the minority period. I really don't see how the DYK thread is slowing down this whole site- it sure doesn't for me. Why not start a DYK 2 leaving the DYK thread, but closing it for new posts and deligating them to the DYK 2 thread?

Why pick on DYK? Why not delete the nine billion redundant "My snake regurged" "My snake didn't poop" "My two snakes live together" "My snake only eats live" "My snake poops too much" "My snake laid eggs now what" "My snake poops on me" threads?

Being people don't both to use the search function that may not be a bad idea. Just make a sticky for those questions and delete the rest...in a month there will be a bunch more anyway,lol!

My point is the large number of posts on DYK isn't slowing down anybody's Interwebz experience except maybe the (what percent of the 5% of people, worldwide, that don't have broadband, that have electricity and a phone line and a computer, that subscribe to this site, that don't hate DYK) one person I described in parentheses. And for that person, the content probably makes the wait worth it!

Yeppers....

Although I don't visit DYK thread all that much...I shy away from the social groups for that exact reason.
