My first thought is to let it run. It's fun to read a few pages back from where you left off and see what was posted. It's a popular topic and a lot gets posted to it.
SpaceMouse brings up a good point, though. On the 'other' forum, the Coffee Shop is growing almost exponentially. When I log on to this forum, the Coffee Shop is usually the first place I go. I used to do the same thing on the 'other' forum, but it became more difficult to keep up as the thread got longer, and longer, and longer, and ..... well, you get the idea. I don't even GO to the CS of the 'other' forum anymore! The Coffee Shop here is growing and will grow even faster as more members check it out and see how much fun it is. I'd hate for it to get so big that the fun would disappear and visiting would be a chore rather than a pleasure.
I don't have a good answer. Maybe a weekly CS would work better. Maybe a monthly CS? I think we may have to have a limit at some point or the whole thing will drag itself down and that would destroy the purpose of the CS.
We could try a monthly CS. "The November Coffee Shop is Open!" as a topic heading so everyone will know where to go. It will grow, but not to the point of self-destruction. Easier to follow and keep current, and the old shops would still be available for reading if you wanted to go back to look something up.
I'm willing to go along with whatever is done, at least until I can't keep up any more. Then, like Chip, I'd just stop going.
That's my opinion, FWIW! Now, off to the Coffee Shop!
Darrell, being quiet...for now
