I guess... if you're some kind of fancy wordsmith.

I'm not trying to rain on their parade. I want to bring their parade to the downtown area.

I think if you take for example: east/west shrine game thread. Senior bowl thread. All college all star game 'official game threads' those should stay in the main lounge like a chiefs or other game thread.

there is also going to be clutter. Sac has the individual positions of the weigh ins at the combine. that's great and I enjoy those threads but for some it could clutter the main page. I could see putting them in the draft forum only. As I could for those who post lots of their own mocks.

People are going to vary on their interest level before the actual draft itself. Some spend everyday in those threads and others just check in periodically.

I don't know how sticky's are viewed generally on the main lounge page but the 'visited with, talked to at the senior bowl/all star game, combine, pro day, private workout, etc, could be stickied in the lounge and that's a good daily reminder for some folks.

Maybe becoming more of a stickler in the prefixes might need to take place to help sort through things quicker. I don't even think thats an issue but if it becomes one that's the easiest way to navigate.

In general I can see wanting more football threads in the lounge and that being more attractive to new comers. I totally see that and respect that line of thinking.

You aren't going to make everyone perfectly happy but you should be able to find a pretty good balance for everyone's enjoyment if you do what you are doing with this thread and take suggestions and ease into things

Take a look at the front page of the Lounge. Maybe that will help to get my point across. It really wasn't an obscure one, so I don't know why you both missed it.

So is the thought that you want to turn draftplanet into an archive or an overflow?

Nah - I think it still serves a purpose. The heavies would still participate in their usual routine but they'd come help we novices in the Lounge sometimes, especially with their cult-hit mock draft. I don't know exactly what it looks like but I have a general idea of what I think would be positive for ChiefsPlanet. I'm looking to regular participants in DraftPlanet and The Lounge to help fill in the blanks with their own cool ideas.

Just general encouragement for posting it in the lounge then. Got ya. Yea that makes plenty of sense. Little bit of the old days and still keep the dp.

There's no reason to drop the IQ of the topic down a few points to ensure everybody else gets minimally literate on it.

You know when I don't give a shit about the draft? When people start mocking the 2014 draft the instant Mr. Irrelevant 2013 is picked. When our D is rocking and we're undefeated halfway through the season. When our D falls to shit and we get pisspounded in the playoffs.

You know when I DO give a shit about the draft? When the draft is the next thing to happen in the NFL.

Regardless, I've been here forever, and AFAICR I've never clicked on draft, casino, or fantasy subforum links.

It's like making the dance dance revolution kids play in front of the whole school. Yeah, it's real ****ing nerdy. It might also be fun. But most will just talk shit because **** it.

Let the smelly nerds dance in the back corner of the arcade.... wedgie free and happy.

Well, when you enroll in Dance Dance Revolution High, . . .

I guess this is the great thing about Tapatalk. I almost exclusively use the "unread" tab, so there's no such thing as sub forums. So unless I'm specifically looking for something, I don't worry about it.

you're sensationalizing - just keep keeping it solid w/ the LNB threads. CP needs more Electro!

Actually, we created the draft sub forum because the draft conversations were getting hopelessly buried in offseason ramblings.

I fully expect that to happen again.
