Sub-forum decision - Page 14

09-09-2005, 10:53 AM

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?

That's an outstanding idea. Unfortunately, I don't know how to implement it. Maybe that's more of a long term hack.

I hope it's okay that I laugh at that.

Moving it off of the Lounge wouldn't keep the hardcore from posting there at all, and if it decreases traffic in the DC forum somewhat, I would say that's a good thing...

In all honesty this place has become boring already a large portion of the day because of the lack of traffic, and I don't care what the damn stats on traffic say. 9000 post to the lets play this word game, and 2000 posts to the Whoever posts last wins may be hiding the decrease in volume.

Oh well I have said enough.

There were times when several of you would gang up on me at once, hurling personal insults left and right, yet I always believed that there was a principle behind your aggression.

I guess I was wrong.

What a bunch of pussies. You're all bailing.

I wanted you on that wall! I needed you on that wall!

Football season is just begining in earnest. We are coming off of an offseason that was preluded by an extremely disappointing season. I wouldn't read too much into any decrease in traffic just yet.

On the other hand what I don't respect is my fellow conservatives who are no longer in the clear majority over there and right now under siege because the administration has it's share of problems wanting to destroy it so they feel like somehow they have won. I do think having no visible link to it on the Lounge will destroy it so they will likely get their wish.

exactly ... they were all for a DC forum when they could beat up on liberals because it was like 10 to 1 in ratio.

now they cut bait and run

remember how donger and ringleader use to post "the limit" of political threads in the regular forum?

it was so much fun for them ... now they turn puzzy because they can't beat up on the other side without contest.

they know this administration is fugging up and they don't want to have to hear about it for the next 3 years.

disappointing

and what is wrong with the example i gave .... where no subforums get cut and the front page is still cleaned up?

No, not all of us were.

And are you so sure you want to throw Donger in that list with RL? I do not recall him being a "problem child" of any sort in the main forum.

Skip if those posts are around I actually voted for moving the DC forum out separate and posted that the time had definitely come for it even if it might threaten the BB. So this post does not accurately reflect my position. Nor do I advocate bring DC type threads back into the lounge.

I just don't support it ending up like the Royal's forum where people end up trying to sneak those type threads into the lounge because there is no traffic in the forum. I know how much you love those Royals threads so I thought I would remind you of what can happen when a forum dies.

not all conservatives ... not all liberal

nothing is all inclusive

and yes donger WAS a conservative spammer(basically) he rarely posted anywhere other than DC until things turned south.

OK honest question, why aren't Royals' threads move or deleted. Why the double standard?

i remember quite vividly how ringleader and donger used to dutifully post their 2 limit political quota when the whole thing starting AND how the titles of those political threads became more and more inflamatory until it got so bad that DC was created.

That is not the way you have been making it sound in this thread. Furthermore, I would proffer that the reason some were for splitting the board was not so they could have a liberal bash forum, but because they did not want politics in the main forum. They thought it made the place trashy. I would further proffer that those who wish to see it destroyed (with the exception of myself) wish for it to be so with out reinstituting political discussion on the main board. In other words, they came to a conclusion that no matter where you put the discussions, it was going to be bad for the board.

Of course that completely negates your reason for having a conservitave bashing, so I will understand if you dismiss it out right.

That is NOT what you said. You said they used to post the limit of political threads in the MAIN forum. To my recollection, Donger was not one of those people.

Throw out Donger, add jAZ and Denise to your list, and then it will be correct.

Those where the three culprits that practically by themselves brought about the split forum.
