Should there be a food and drink subforum?

[Fire Me Boy!]

There are a lot of foodies on this board... we have subforums for DC, pictures, and media, should we have one for food and drink? I think so...

[HoneyBadger]

No

[threebag]

I hear that I just had an awesome ham steak with eggs, toast and fresh fruit. Today is off to a great start.

[KCUnited]

I voted no and I like talking food and drink.

[threebag]

No

You must be a steak and gravy fan.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I voted no and I like talking food and drink.

There's a pretty good chance that if there was a food and drink subforum, I'd make that my home forum on mobile... :shrug:

I also find that locating certain threads can be very difficult.

[cdcox]

I wouldn't be opposed to the media and draft subforums being moved back to the lounge. When stuff gets posted over there people don't see it as quickly and discussion is supressed. Besides, what is a lounge without food?

You suck at search? :p

[Fire Me Boy!]

You suck at search? :p

The problem isn't necessarily search, it's that fucking 60-second wait between searches.

[Just Passin' By]

I like seeing the food and drink threads pop up in the main forum. Having an archive location for them after a certain amount of time might be helpful for search purposes, but I like the idea of a mainboard that has a broad appeal rather than a small focus.


Just my take

I like the variety of the lounge, I don't like having to visit 4+ sub forums to find everything I'm interested in.

[RedDread]

Official food thread, IMO.

[Gonzo]

Meh, I voted no. IMHO the lounge has always been a success because we have such a wide variety of topics to discuss, (especially during the offseason). Not to mention that if you just want to see a particular subject, you can search by thread description anyway...
i.e. Food and Drink, Family, Chiefs, Royals etc. etc.

[BigMeatballDave]

I voted yes, but I'm cool with it how it is.

I can see that.

[cdcox]

I often use google to find stuff on chiefsplanet for that very reason. Also including multiple search terms are treated as "ands" instead of "ors".

[lewdog]

I like the smorgasbord that the lounge has to offer, so no.

[KurtCobain]

I always thought the thread prefixes work too well instead of a buncha sub-forums.

Ya I like the open lounge too

Agree. The more segmentation, the less interesting and more like any other football message board this becomes.

Of course, I'd go even further and re-merge DC too.

Thread prefixes are enough to filter for stuff you really want to see at any given time so segmentation isn't even particularly useful anymore in that way.

[BlackHelicopters]

Yes, but no change is OK as well.

[MOhillbilly]

Fuck no

[ThaVirus]

Of course, I'd go even further and re-merge DC too.


Nah, man. Nah... Shit, nah, man! I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like 'at, man.

[Just Passin' By]

....Of course, I'd go even further and re-merge DC too....

No, every house needs a toilet.

We don't need "those people" here.

I voted yes, but this would actually be an even better option, IMO.

From what I've seen, having D.C. is more about segmenting the posters than the topics.

[Rausch]

I voted no but figured it was an attempt to banish the food threads to elsewhere.

On 2nd thought I'd love a food/cooking/grilling/BBQ/Smoking forum...

[Raiderhater]

I don't understand why some feel the need to sub forum this place to death.

It was ONLY supposed to be politics, and now we are up to what, four different ones? Variety of discussion is what keeps this board active year round. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

It leads to poop. Sub-ing that out? good luck

[Setsuna]

Would get more activity than Draft Planet and Casino Planet. 2 sub forums worth garbage.

[Ace Gunner]

I voted no but can we have a stupid threads forum thx

I suspect this is due to your inability to cook...:hmmm:

[Mr. Laz]

I think we should just have a food mega-thread stickied at the top of the lounge.

[houstonwhodat]

No

[cdcox]

Don't supersize my food threads.

[Raiderhater]

I cook just fine. I don't like the board being segregated.

If that's the case it doesn't work. It might keep you out, but I run into Lounge riff raff pretty frequently over there.

Isn't riff raff the large boulders they place under bridges to stall erosion.

Riprap?

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Riprap?

Oh well

[Titty Meat]

Yes. I was thinking about making a thread ate lunch today at this place called Kittys in midtown. Fucking delicious!

[Nightfyre]

i think there should be a drunk posts subforum.

[bevischief]

Yes.

[Bowser]

No.

What would be next, the Random Thought subforum?

[patteeu]

No.

What would be next, the Random Thought subforum?

The sub-forum suggestion sub-forum.

[lewdog]

There should also be a sub-forum on how to lose weight for all you fat fucks who like to obsess over food!

[KurtCobain]

No.

What would be next, the Random Thought subforum?

Fucking sounds awesome.





The sub-forum suggestion sub-forum.


Not a bad idea.




i think there should be a drunk posts subforum.

Definitely.

[DaFace]

Uh, no. Is it really that hard to click on the food/drink icon? Or just bookmark this?

[Tribal Warfare]

Uh, no.

I agree, though I gave up that battle long ago.

[jspchief]

Subforums are best reserved for topics that would over run the front page. TV show threads that are constantly bumping, etc.

Food threads run their course and then go away, barring occasional bumps.

[Buck]

Don't fuck with the Media Center...I realize there are a few people who don't realize anything outside the lounge exists, but the Media Center sub forum is a lot busier than some of the main forums I post on.

[Gonzo]

Send me ten dollars and you'll have my word. I'll even rename it "Buck's Place."

Meh, I wouldn't ban you for that..
However, combining the Media Center and the DC might be pretty sweet.
Tech geeks and Limbaugh lovers tripping over each other and bumping peckers.

Awesome!

[Buck]

:) sorry Lumpy.

[Tribal Warfare]

I agree, though I gave up that battle long ago.

I have to say the BB's focus on the draft this year is more focused in comparison to other years which BS threads dominated which made the draft forum necessary. If this trend keeps up through the regular season then DraftPlanet can be 86ed permanently.

Though it will be on the shoulders of the BB members to keep that interest up because many members want to ignore draft prospect targets citing "that it's too early to talk about the draft." IMO, for DraftPlanet to gone their shouldn't be apathy about the draft during the regular season.

[Gonzo]

I do think that we should (and probably will) enforce using the casino planet subforum this year for all the 'Rate My Fantasy Team' threads. That shit gets really old, really quick. I'm fairly sure nobody gives two shits about your fantasy teams.

Well, those of us that have discovered vagina, anyway.

We moderate most of the subforums-lounge threads fairly loosely, (except DC stuff).

Example: 'Caption' threads, etc.
I do dislike seeing a million threads every August regarding the same shit, "Who would you pick, How about this trade?" Blah blah blah...

[bevischief]

Food and drink subforum. I can help to moderate if needed.

[Sorter]

No to the op.

While I'd enjoy it and probably find it beneficial to my personal food needs/desires, it probably isn't necessary.

[Just Passin' By]

Uh, no. Is it really that hard to click on the food/drink icon? Or just bookmark this?

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/forumdisplay.php?f=1&prefixid=Food&daysprune=30

Well, part of the issue with food topics for someone like FMB may be that they can be restarted weeks/months/years later, and this board doesn't really work for that outside of searches, where word choice is essential. That's why I suggested the archive idea.

[Pablo]

No, go to foodnetwork.com or some shit if you want a Food forum.

[GloryDayz]

I think eating is, perhaps, the most important part of being a Chefs fan, so I'm good with food being mixed-in with football... After all, my eating habits are the only thing that kept me out of the NFL...

[Archie F. Swin]

should def be a home brew/craft beer forum

[gblowfish]

Well, we have "poop" threads. So I guess it's OK to have a "before" since we already have the "after."
