    Yup.

    And not to decide anything. It was suggested by two people in this thread. It’s a good idea.

    I think an IGNORE function is a better alternative than a whole "move to another section" or "delete them" action becuase you don't like it makes more sense.

    I haven’t ignored a thread or user on this site in 20 years, never!

    For what it’s worth I chose the option to move it to another forum, not to remove them.

    Seems random, but this is way more public deliberation than went into nuking the decade-plus New Beer Sunday thread. :scream:

    I liked your post, respect your opinion, and disagree. If there is one I am not interested in, I don't click. If there is a style I don't tend to enjoy, say Saisons, I still may read it to learn from you fine folks. But I like that these threads are easy to find and they're available.

    I'd like to see them in their own forum along with all of the "What beer are you drinking now/while x", except the regional ones that already have a good home. This would keep the threads shown on the landing page as topical threads to promote well, beer talk, while posts that are predominantly photos of beer we are drinking (and let's all be real here, it's beer **** and we all like it) would be in one spot and easier for folks to post/follow if that's their thing.

    Miss you A, but I disagree about the transition of NBS to NBW. As I recall, there was deliberation, and it evolved to allow for more inclusion. Still a pretty intimate, small corner of BA.

    Last night I had an IPA and got wondering if there was an IPA appreciation thread, but didn't find one. Then I realized how that would go over with the anti-IPA crowd, kind of like proposing a "men in the workplace" group at work...

    I don't click on that many threads. So keep going! How about a glassware appreciation thread? Or a bottle opener appreciation thread? Or a BeerAdvocate poster appreciation thread?

    I don't understand the idea of putting these threads into their own forum? It's beer talk, period. It's all about beer! It's not about glassware or bourbon, and they aren't regional. It actually bothers people to have to read the title of a thread as they are scrolling? What about a poll option "I don't look at them but nothing needs to change"
