I mean, a new issue hasn't been created for a month, so why should it still be in the sidebar? But obviously my point of view can't even be considered unless I add a pointless vote, so...

Should the UnSignpost be removed from the sidebar?

• C'mon, either update it regularly or get rid of it from the sidebar. ~Pleb the magic! 23:17, 05/12/2012
•  For. And we should readd the link to our Facebook. --EMC ^[TALK] 23:19 May 12 2012
•  For. Until we get someone to write it regularly again. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 23:30, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
•  Against. The Unsignpost is an institution of this once-proud website. It should remain in the sidebar as a blot of shame, better to galvanize those lazy and/or banned fuckers who are neglecting it. And my word is final, bitches. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, May 12 '12 23:58 (UTC)

• Don't mind. But we should probably link to FB. --Black Flamingo 19:18, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
• I'm not particularly bothered. Though I am disappointed that nobody seems to want to continue with it. I would love to start it up again but my job is taking up far too much of my time to guarantee the time for it. I'd be more in favour of looking for someone else to take the reigns of the UnSignpost rather than simply removing the link from the sidebar once inactivity sets in. My view is that it isn't doing any damage sitting there, and increased the increased exposure may lead to someone new deciding to have a bash at it, whereas removing it just makes it hard to find. --ChiefjusticeWii 20:41, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

  • Why get rid of something, can't you just add Facebook (and why not just add it without a forum, who would disagree?) Aleister 12:31 17-5-'12
    • And why keep it there when most (or all) of the ingrained community already knows about it? The sidebar should be attractive links to lure and amuse casual readers. Not to disparage the UnSignpost, but it should just be a link in the Community Portal instead of the Sidebar, at most. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 16:06, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

• Abstain. Normally, I would be able to update the UnSignpost weekly, but I'm afraid that I've been far to busy (I'm in a play, but it closes tonight so I should be able to return to doing the USP). -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 14:27, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Actually

Why don't we take out "related changes" (in the Toolbox) and add the FB link above while keeping in the UnSignpost? I volunteer to write. ^{→ (Der_Führerbunker--Wehrmacht Factories)} 11:48, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

"related changes" in the toolbox is where I (and probably others) look at for our watched articles. I store all of mine on my user page, and then just click on the "related changes" thing in the toolbox to see what changes have been made. Why take things out, just add things. I'd personally add HowTo, UnBooks, things like that. Aleister 12:29 17-5-'12

We had a de-cluttering the sidebar forum in like October last year. I think ZB would kill anyone who made a thread about re-adding things to it. Then again, I wouldn't mind making a separate section on the sidebar with the name "Social" and our Twitter and FB links (and possibly a Tumblr and YouTube too) below it. In fact, let's start a vote. ^{→ (Der_Führerbunker--Wehrmacht Factories)} 12:50, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

"Related changes" is part of the MediaWiki software and cannot be (cleanly) removed. Same goes for all of the other links in the toolbox. -- The Zombiebaron 17:01, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

Vote on HGA's plan

..to add new section to sidebar called "Social" with our FB, Twitter, YT, and Tumblr (if we ever get one) included in it.

• Not a bad plan, useful if it doesn't draw away from uncy proper but adds to it. Does the Facebook page try to get people writing here? Hopefully it does, but I still remember it as the place that ate DrStrange. Aleister 19:20 17-5

• It really should be one of uncy's top priority to make it easy for readers to share pages with facebook, twitter etc... I suggest doing more than just what aimsplode is suggeting --ShabiDOO 02:15, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

  There used to be a "share" tab up at the top of the page, but Lyrithya (I think) got rid of it for some reason. It was broken, or something. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Fri, May 18 '12 18:49 (UTC)

Hey!

I asked a question about whether the UnSignpost should still be in the sidebar! How did the conversation get redirected to Facebook?! ~Pleb the magic! 22:44, 05/18/2012

Exposure

Sorry for corrupting the original idea behind the forum, I think there isnt a consensus yet happy spaceman. In terms of exposure, I really cannot think of anything more important than having a "like" or "share" for facebook and twitter. Is anyone able to take care of this where Lyrithya left off? Can the problems be dealt with? Are the round ones my penis of the really long sausage shape thing I have? --ShabiDOO 00:09, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Replace UnSignpost with Cracked.com

1.  Nom + For because I think it is a good idea to send one of our ambassadors to write articles on Cracked.com for us. And we can integrate this website within Cracked.com. |Si Plebius Dato' Joe ang Man on Fire CUN|IC Kill | 06:54, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
