INTRODUCING: “The Gulch: Best of”

Posts have a life cycle. You post, it gets voted on, other members comment on it, it makes it to the “Hot” list, the sky opens, all is well in the world, and then… it goes away.

Never to be seen again.

Comments too. Your wit slays them all, everyone is ROTFLOL, you break the site record for most upvotes on a comment, and then… it disappears into oblivion.

Until now.

Introducing, “The Gulch: Best of”, where great posts and comments go to live-on... forever.

Here’s the catch…

While everyone can see “Best of” category posts, only Gulch Producers can submit them. And, they can't submit they're own stuff.

So, Gulch Producers…

Bring it.

How it works:

1. Find an awesome “Self” post or comment. *
2. Click the “Best of...” link located right underneath the post or comment (see screenshots attached to this post).
3. Add a descriptive title (e.g. “Eudaimonia sheds light on the meaning of life”).
4. Add a note telling everyone why the content is “Best of” material (e.g. “I laughed so hard, I cried.”)
5. Submit it.

* What’s a “Self” post?
A self post is post that does not link outside of Galt’s Gulch Online. It could be a great story, or a great question, as long as it doesn’t like out, it’s eligible.

A comment is… uhm… a comment. :S

    RE: "a search function that includes comments"
    Funny you should mention this. Alex and I were just discussing it this morning.

    And... it's done. Comments now included in search. :)

    Good for you. You seem to have found a good one to begin with and haven't strayed. There are many out there that are sub-standard.
