had an idea for featured posts

[LBmtb]

So I had an idea for a "best of STR" page (my website's acronym is STR). Basically to showcase things like "most helpful posts", "best writer", "best ride report", etc etc.

I'm undecided whether to:

1) copy and paste the post to a static vbulletin template (or static HTML page) or
2) have somewhat of a directory with links to the actual posts

Would going with #1 be a violation of google's 'duplicate content' policy? Or maybe I should do the first couple sentences with a "read more" type link?

Any thoughts or comments appreciated!

I think the way WebmasterWorld does the home page threads is the best way - create a new link, with editable title and description, to the original thread. No dupe content, great exposure. There's an existing hack for vBB that does something like that, but I don't care for it that much.
