DraftPlanet is not closed.

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

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.

This sums it up rather well.

Phobs, mad respect for you. If it weren't for you I would have never joined CP. That being said maybe on a trial basis for this off season just sticky the CP Mock thread in the Lounge along with a discussion thread. That way the CP Mock thread won't get overrun with douchebaggery.

If we do something like this, it's designed to make the Lounge better. I hear the concerns of draftniks lima charlie. Therefore, there would be an understanding that general debauchery in legitimate draft threads would be unwelcomed at the risk of being banned from that thread. That's not to say people can't make a joke when warranted. But douchebaggery would be discouraged - ala prayer threads.

I know I've said this a million times, but all you have to do is click on a draft icon to essentially have DraftPlanet, but embedded in the Lounge so that everyone else can see those threads. You can even bookmark it if you want:

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/forum...t&daysprune=30

Note that there are currently only 3 threads in the past 30 days. I'd love for that to change regardless of whether DraftPlanet itself continues to exist.

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.

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.

Keep the draft forum for the threads that Direckshun likes to put together and the CP mock. The Lounge can be used for things like talking about a certain player or a certain position....

I think you're close. Direcshun actually wanted the CP mock stickied in the Lounge and that would be productive. I think the Lounge should only be used for high profile players and maybe some sleeper picks, especially those from area universities which would garner lots of amateur interest.

Another idea is that we can copy threads between forums. If a thread is incredibly intriguing, it doesn't have to get moved necessarily. It can get copied over to the lounge. Wish we had the capability to mirror them in real time because that would be ideal. But we don't.
