Sub-forum decision
 

We have 4 sub-forums stuck at the top of the page. We need to add a "Games" sub-forum during the season for all our Gambling, pick'em, score, fantasy, etc. games which accompany the regular season.

I don't want more than 4 sub-forums at the top, so one of them needs moved. Which one?

Easy... Take down the one that has the fewest threads... ;)

You also might consider another poll option... removing them from up there altogether and just putting them in the main index... :)

get rid of that DC shit.

DC is a waste of bandwidth and drive space.

can't you just put "planet store" as a regular link up by the "donation" link or something and combine Games and Geeks

I agree with the evil one

the evil one, eh?

That's the eventual plan. I want the fewest sub-forums up there as we can manage, but I also can't ignore the convenience factor.

What Laz said.

I would tend to agree. It's become rather pathetic.

DC has become a pathetic joke. I still wander over to be amused on occaision, but it's certainly not our best "side".....make people dig for it a bit, if they are looking for a circle jerk.

Can you merge PlanetStore with the Pictures? Easier that way to "See Where ChiefsPlanet Has Been".

The whole thing seems to be one or two people arguing semantics with everyone who disagrees with them, it's a friggin neverending cycle of angry, insulting banter.

P.S. GeeksPlanet has much more to offer. There are alot of dudes on there with good knowledge, I certainly learn alot from it. The DC Forum doesn't "teach" me anything

That is far too logical.

As is taking down the one with the least amount of daily hits. :rolleyes:

Pictures
For those who partake, they know where to find it. For those of us at work, don't want to see it.

If there is a way for me to turn off all the sub-forums, so I don't see ANY of them, that would be ideal.

Yes

Far too logical to somebody not paying the bills, perhaps. I'm not automatically removing PlanetStore. It is supposed to be a revenue generator.

If the general populous chooses the Store to be moved, that's what I'll do. I know this democracy stuff is really not the type of leadership you prefer, but it is proven. My shoulders are large enough to handle the criticism even though I'm simply following the wishes of my constituents.

I would say DC but I can't see it anymore PBJ PBJ

ROFL


you've had the biggest face plant of anybody, perhaps ever, in the DC forum....you are the problem you're talking about....


anyways, this isn't complicated..the DC Forum is more popular than all the others...combined....multiplied by 4....

it's funny how angry it makes people who supposedly never go over there, and supposedly don't care...

You just want to keep DC easily accessible because it's the only place you spend any time.

I vote to kick DC out. It's become a caricature of itself. I haven't seen a reasonable discussion carried on over there in months. Leave it on the board to keep that garbage off the main board, but it doesn't need to be linked off of the main page. Ever.

This place would be better if the DC forum was just gotten rid of.

You are an idiot. I was here posting during the game last night.

DC has become the same 10-12 people, who account for about 70% of the posts on the entire forum.....with occaisional pot shots from those of us who are amused by the carwreck it has become.

My point was not to remove a revenue generator if it is the least hit forum. Clearly, having that forum there helps to maintain the board so you would not remove that one. Besides, it's not a discussion board. The board that generates the least hits (and is a discussion board) should be the one that goes...logically speaking.

Beautiful
:clap:

How about removing the one that has the least positive impact? If I had 10 people a day give me a hug and 20 people a day kick me in the shins I'd still rather get rid of the larger group.

I am curious then, are you advocating that politics be allowed back on the main forum, or just not allowed at all?

Wouldn't getting rid of the DC Forum just result in those topics being posted in the lounge?

Getting rid of D.C. is not an option.

Because Phobia has before stated that generating hits for a website is an important component to the web site's existence. Especially if they are going to seek advertisers or supporters down the line...

Yeah, DC should stay for that reason alone.

Bury the Pictures section, if nothing else. If we can find the Romper Room, we'll find the Pics.

And you'd lose the ability to get to DC if it weren't linked off the main page because you're too stupid to go back a level, right? Sorry, I should have been more sensitive to that issue.

Hits are hits no matter where something is linked from.

Thank you.

I'd like to change my vote.

I voted for the store based on numbers. But I can see how that might be shortsided (revenue, baby).

So, I'm voting for pictures. We'll always find the pron, no matter where it hides.

Well then removing a lesser hit forum would not matter...

Out of curiosity, why not? Some technical issue, or do you fear that with that outlet gone, people would start posting on the main forum?

Once again, why keep the irratant in people's faces. Frankly with the behavior going on over there I'd just as soon people have to dig to find it. It's most certainly not puttting the best foot forward for the board.

Well, D.C. was established by a vote. It would take a vote to undo it. I think ChiefsPlanet is vastly improved by removal of cantankerous threads from the lounge. I believe my opinion is shared by the majority based upon previous votes and feedback.

So, to answer your question - the latter reason.

Here are 4 subforums that should encompass everything:

1. Planet Store.
2. Place to argue with Denise.
3. Place For Big Daddy's Pictures and Rants.
4. Games and Geeks.

that's only because it's no longer dominated by people with opinions you agree with.


when it was dominated by the right, it was all candy and roses.

I seriously question just how much that matters to most.

ROFL Right. Who's "dominating" it now? :rolleyes:

I like the Games and Geeks.

Good idea.

people you don't like .................... big surprise :rolleyes:

I don't care where it. But if it is the second most accessed board (and I don't know for sure it is) then it's rather juvenile to bury it simply because it's an 'irritant' to some who allow it to be so.

I was for moving the Girlie thread off the main board because it was too accessible by accident. People who would come here for the first time might have gotten a welcome or unwelcome surprise. It's worked fine. It still gets plenty of hits and is still going strong. It would make no sense to move the pictures/girlie forum either.

Why the hell would we want rants in a subforum? Those are often times some of the best reads.

The DC forum should be moved someplace where you need an ancient artifact and the planets have to be in alignment to open it.

not a bad idea...

Right. I don't think that is relavent. D.C. is clearly marked with disclaimers. N00bs shouldn't click into that forum expecting a parade in their honor.

Understood. So, what would you say to a vote to remove DC during the regular (and hopefully post-) season? And, if anyone posts a political thread in the main forum, they will be banned immediately?

I suppose that a defintion of a 'political thread' would need to be established, but I think that could be accomplished rather easily.

ROFL

Oh man, that would be a test of wills for some folks...showing up there while previously claiming the deep desire to ignore. ROFL ROFL

The only question then Phob is why did you include it in the poll?
So far, it is winning (or losing) the count...

Why don't you do a new thread, taking a poll by all members, that would pretty much clear it up, wouldn't it?

But one should have to go to page 2 or 3 to get a real FB thread.

My "official" answer -

Bury DC, and combine PlanetStore with either GeeksPlanet or Pictures.

When can I expect my first royalties check?

But some do... ROFL

Sorry Donger but I don't like that idea. There have been alot of threads that started out as non political and ended up political.

Keep the DC but I don't care where you put it.

I was trying to hold my tongue (fingers), but this is so assanine that I have lost my self control.

That thread is clearly labled as to what is inside. There is no "accidental" viewing of it. Unless you just caan't read, but in that case I don't know why you would be using this median to converse with people. Gawd, your stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

It's clearly marked NOW that it is in a subforum. Before when it was a thread on this board it wasn't.

If they become politicized, they get yanked.

To where?

The original thread starter shouldn't be punished for posting a non-political thread that ended up a political jerk off.

We're not removing any of those sub-forums. We're moving them elsewhere. Not stuck at the top of the Lounge.

Deleted, period.

Just curious, Phil, do you have a breakdown of most accessed forums outside of this one?

Can't you put them on the Arrowhead listing?

Bullshit. "Girly thread DON'T LOOK AND COMPLAIN" has been the title since the big debacle over the issue way back when.

And you accuse others of revisionist history... :rolleyes:

Did the girlie thread ever say anything in the subject besides "Girlie JPG thread, don't look and complain"?

That means don't look if you feel inclined to complain about girlie JPG's. How much simpler could it be? Should you have to scan your driver's license to open it?

Oops.. I see that they are.

If you remove them from the top does it remove them from Arrowhead?

1. cut or bury DC

political stuff will eventually find it's way back into the regular forum


2. cut or bury the picture forum

next time a hot girl/celeb has an OOPS! a thread WILL end up in the regular forum.

it just will


3. Store forum - needed for planet revenue


4. geeks - :shrug: needed more for archiving measures


5. games - :shrug: needed more for archiving measures





imo leaves 2 real choices ... combine the 2 archive type forums into (Geeks and Games) or main link the Store on the front page ala the "donations" link.

Actually, I think Big Daddy's original title was "Sugar and Spice and everything nice, click into this thread for the surprise of your life."

Actually, it said 'don't look and complain' after people looked and complained...

and that was when it was on the front page of the main forum without the disclaimer. There was a massive outcry saying that the thread would die or otherwise be harmed and it wasn't.

I can move them into Arrowhead without them being sub-forums of the Lounge.

I'm not sure if that was it but it was something other than 'don't look and complain.'

Sounds reasonable. I trust your judgement. You know how much each of the forums are used or not. And of course anything that generates revue should remain untouched.

Then why not do that?

I think that is any very easy solution.

Sans nuking the entire thing, I'd vote for that.

WTF did I just say, woman? Ever since the big debacle over the issue, that has been in the title.

And that has been at least a couple of years.

Ahh, the old raiderhader, memysefI exchanges. Takes us all back to yesteryear.......

:D

They act like they are married or something.

:p

I am for which ever option has Denise less inclined to visit this forum. I loathe the idea of sweeping the trash under the rug versus taking it out, but since that is how everyone else wants to keep house, then let's put the rug deep in the basement.
