To better organize the volumes of important information that is now being posted to this site, might I suggest that a sticky containing links to pertinent general content be placed at the beginning of each forum.
For example:
In General, a group of URLs at the head of each forum that one may use as quick reference when researching that subject. There are many more possibilities.
Admittedly sticky lists of this type are subjective and often subject to opinion but an effort is needed to preclude having valuable reference information buried deeply in the threads. It might be necessary to find a couple of people to sort through what links should be used and keep the lists pertinent. Some references may even be chosen with the new web poll feature but I believe this effort could really make this site stand out.
For example:
- On the restaurant forum, in addition to the stickys now present, included one with links to Restaurant Guides.
- On the hotel forum, include a sticky to the best booking sites and/or the URLs to the largest chains or hotel groups. (Not every hotel can be listed here and yes I known the dangers of our favorite hotels becoming too well known.)
- On the Guest Apartments forum, a sticky containing URLs of the best known rental agencies (I have a rough list but have not posted it yet anywhere)
- On the Paris Arts and Culture forum, a sticky linking places for concert and ticket purchase information
- Even on the Arrondissments forums. I know that many of the arrondissments have their own websites and I belive there should be a quick reference to the them, even if many are only available in French. How about a list with the times and dates of the local markets or other specials events in the arrondissment?
- On the Common Visitors Questions forum, summarized CDG transportation information as well as links to shuttle services, limos, and taxis (including the number to call for an English speaking dispatcher).
