The Timeline Directory

There's a confusing mix of abandoned, completed and ongoing TLs here. They need to be sorted.

My advice would be to have two lists: one of completed TLs and one of ongoing TLs. The second list would be sorted by most recent update; TLs would be taken off the list after two months without an update. This provision would keep it from getting cluttered and help provide an incentive for certian people to update so their TL doesn't get taken off the list.

It wouldn't take too much work for someone who's on the forum every day. They would justhave to check if there are any updates and then update accordingly. When one drops to the bottom, it'll be easy to find out whether its time is up.

I don't like the idea of Complete or Incomplete, because who's to judge when a TL ends?  It just kind of sinks into obscurity over time.

A number of timelines have reached the present day and then ended.

NiK, I'll put those in soon, but is it really a good idea to declare certain TLs ongoing or inactive? Because how do we decide when a TL is ongoing or inactive? To add to that, are you really proposing that we check each TL every two months and make a decision?

It wouldn't require that. I know a lot of you check the boarrds every day. If you sort it by most recent update, you could just go to the bottom every day and check if the lowest item is past two months. If it is, then delist it. It could always be readded with a new update.

That's why you shouldn't include TLs that haven't been updated in over 2 months.

Ben, we all have a horrible timeline in our dark pasts.

There's no need for an inactive list, IMO.

Perhaps, but then we wouldn't have excellent TLs such as Marokai's and Lief's in the directory.

Well, yeah, but it can't do everything.
