    Question "An Active Topic"

    How do the forums of AntiOnline determine which topic is active (to be shown on the main page) and which not? I thought the ones last posted would be active, but when I just posted a message into the famous "Newbies read this first!" thread and returned to the main page, it wasn't there.

    OK, thanks. I got it. A bit evil though.. It's not so easy to get answer to Newbie questions anymore... Well. Should we then move the Newbies-please-read-this -thread to AntiOnline General Chit Chat or something?

    Sure, sure, offload AAAAALLLL the responsibility to me :P

    I guess my rationale is that most of the stuff in the newbie forum is newbie stuff. (Whether most of the newbie stuff is within the newbie forum is a different matter )

    I rate this post of mine: "Less than worthwhile."
