Please check your permission thread: there's a sentence in the description that threw me off.

You do this paging thing a lot, creating a new thread just to get the attention of one specific person, sometimes regarding things that are still on the front page of the Board. Every time, I think to myself, is that really necessary? Is it so absolutely vital that people view and/or respond to your comments that just making the post isn't enough?
I can understand wanting to draw attention to something that may have fallen off the front page, or maybe something that's been missed for a few days or so, but I just looked at the time stamps of this post and the one you're referring to, and they're a minute apart. That's definitely not necessary. Especially for threads like mission plugs and the like, you can be pretty sure the people responsible are keeping an eye out for any feedback as long as the thread is visible—and creating a new thread about it brings older thread closer to falling out of view that much faster, so it's a bit self-defeating.
Give people some time to see what you're talking about before worrying about it and taking up one of the limited thread slots on the Board, yeah? Please also consider other options, such as contacting them in a reply to a recent post in an existing thread or via e-mail, Discord PM, or their wiki talk pages. The entire Board does not need an up-to-the-minute breaking news report that SOH has commented on someone's stuff, y'know?

I will admit that those alternatives did not come to mind. It's just that IIRC, threads more than halfway down the front page don't usually get read, even if updated. I'll try to use other means of getting people's attention in the future.

I know if there's a thread I have a particular stake in, I'll follow it all the way to the top of the second page. But maybe that's just me.
