Suggestions for some threads in the public forum

[adragast]

Hi,

I have seen several threads that are quite similar and was wondering if we could create some more "common" threads where people would post in instead of creating a new thread.

The threads that could be interesting to have:
- "how to improve from there ?", "what should I learn next ?", ...
where someone feeling he is not improving could post his times (breakdown), method he is using, ... and ask what he should do from there. I think this is a quite popular topic and there are already quite a lot of "individual" threads about it

- The new method thread
quite a lot of threads deal with "new" methods. This could be the thread where you propose your method idea and get some feedback from the community.

- "What method should I use ?"
After the success of the "what cube should I get" thread, I think a similar thread about which method someone should use could be helpful. Whether someone wants a faster method for 3x3, or is fed up with his 4x4 method, or just wondering what square-1 method needs less algs, he could ask his question there.

What do you think ? Useless ? Will not have any success ? Interesting to have ?

For two of your points - read the FAQ

For the other one - use the random cubing discussion thread

Nothing to see here, move along.

I understand your point. However, much of it has already been done. For example, the FAQ/Intro to Beginners wiki entry answers all of the common questions. People could simply read those instead of creating a new post asking the same question. Ideally, we don't want to promote people to ask the same question (in a thread for such), but instead teach them to search for their answers.
