Re: Conky Thread poll
Monthly, separate!
Keeping it monthly actually encourages newbs like me to contribute, or at least places it into a schedule. (I want to post before the month ends, or, I want to post as soon as the new month starts.)
I've been finding the separate help threads more searchable, too. (Though obsolete threads do pop in.) In the bigger threads, sometimes a particular line of questioning can drift away as new people join or others leave the conversation...
Fortune favors the bold.

Or you ask a question and in a multi-post response, from a few people possibly, back and forth with people helping you and all of a sudden you find your help split into two threads. Confusing to say the least. A month later it's even more confusing as the question and final answer are not in one thread and not even in the currently active thread. But gee, XYZ just asked the same question, has the same problem.
It's mainly a help thread and needs to flow smoothly so topics aren't chopped up into chunks. The fact that people drop in and show a screenshot of their conky is fine, if someone wants to see the conky they ask to see the code.
From someone who has been helping people with conky for years I find a singular, mega thread the way to go, especially after experiencing the "monthly threads" here. I visit at least 5 forums just for conky, #! is the only one with a "monthly" thread. Personally, and this is just one opinion, I hate it.
That's why I voted: monster;single
