A thread per person is
a little bit of a clumsy thing. Looking at the LFG forum
right now there are 50 posts on the first page, none over a day old.
Second page 3 days old. Third page 5 days old. Any single post
quickly drops out of view, so "me too" is really helping
keep the thread alive and ensures more people see it. I think
a better method would be to have an expanded player directory, where
you could mark the times you're available, the systems you're
interested in, and if you're looking to run or play in a game. Though
it'd need to include a requirement to 'renew' the entry each week or
two, to prevent it being choked with out dated records. As
someone new to roll 20 finding information at present seems quite
difficult, most of the threads I've looked at have several times more
people interested in the game than there is capacity within hours of
a post. I'm not sure such an approach is especially good at matching
players with games, and presume it excludes a large number of players
who don't spend hours watching the forums.
