I highly suggest naming the apts without using the tenants names. For the purpose of archiving, it is better to have everything that happened in that apt be in one place. Tenabts come and go, bit the apt is always the same from beginning to end. I guess filter function for tags, date, name and maybe a rating system will do it.

I really think these things should be archived and left for not only is to enjoy in the future, but really for the tenants to be able to look back on. I know that if I were a tenant I'd be just like Violet and I'd want to have it all preserved for future reference. One thing thouh, there has got to be a better way to preserve the threads besides using the tenants names. They move around too much. I think it would have been much better to have archived the threads per apt, not by name. This is actually something that VV did well by naming the apt something instead of the names of the tenants. That way everything that happens in that location is captured in one place. Sure, the thread can get too big, but it's fine to just number the threads for that location, such as Tver archive 1, 2, 3, etc.... The way CC and VH have their archive set up now it's a total mess and it's very difficult to find things. Try chasing down all of Layla's or Anna's stuff for example. Good luck!!!! Using the term "realm" isn't good either because it only showed up in the URL. VH should really pick names for the apts instead of using the tenants names. For example, Anna's original apt could have been called Carrot and then everything that happened in that apt would be there in one place. If the threads got too big, they could subdivide the threads chronologically under that name of the apt for example,, Carrotve 1, 2. 3 etc.... VV was smart to name their apts something other then the tenants names! About Camarads totally agree with you, but they seems to 'don't have much control' on the things... I don't agree with you in the part of giving random names to the houses... Why not the names???? It's easy to memorize now and many months after the houses are closed... Looking to myself searching for some couple and trying to see if they was the carrot or cucumber or strawberries. And yes, don't agree with the organize they give to the archive putting all gathered by realm instead tenants names (already said it at the right topic about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets very messy and difficult to find them. Layla is a perfect example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy3 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 What about Geri and David? Why is that apt called that when there were many others there before them. There just has to be better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem that i saw there (but its like jabbath said, a search solve the problem) is when (and picking in an actual example) a house with two couples get splitted in two houses... But like i said, i think it's the easier way to get more direct to what we are looking If they only move from one apartment to another... (on case eric&layla) no problem at all... all will be associated with them not depending the apartment they are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkles Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Other possibilities could be they still increasing the 'realms' instead of using the free ones to new tenants... There are atually 21 realms (i think) if now someone leave instead of giving them the actual realm for that apartment they could give the 22... and then 23 ..... and so on so on... That also will eliminate that problem of different 'tenants/apartments' at same realm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The archive is organized by realm, that's why (for example) you found videos of tony&margaret at Clara&Stas.. they got the same realm number... Instead of doing that, give an new realm number to them even if it's the same apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfer06 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 archives should be organized by names of tennants with a section for retired participants just like the forum. it shouldn't be that difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
