ChiefsPlanet Make ChiefsPlanet great again! - Page 20

Figured I'd get this discussion going sooner than later. Here's your thread to suggest ways to make this place great. This can be anything from new capabilities (though no promises on making anything work), new ways of organizing things, whatever.

As examples, I think we need to figure out a way to meet the desires of people who want calm, in-depth discussion of the Chiefs and people who love a no-holds-barred, in-your-face style.

I also keep thinking about ways to have more unique content, kind of like gblowfish's 10 Things threads. Maybe we could have people write regular features or something like that?

I certainly don't have the answers, but we might as well use the offseason to talk about some cool ideas.

Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3? Sure.

But megathreads tend to turn off people, so when draft rolls around, there are scores of "Who the **** is this guy? Is he any good?", which inevitably leads to "Dozens of us have been talking about this guy all year".

It just seems counter-intuitive, to me.

This. Keep the sub-forum.

Death to megathreads.

Yeah, I totally agree that the Draft Sub Forum should remain but I also believe that draft discussion in the Lounge should be promoted and not just become a "megathread".

Agreed. It's extremely rare I even open a megathread, much less post to it. That shit is AIDS. That's one reason I'm a big proponent of using sub-forums, and kind of a reason I lost my shit last year. I like being able to go to the topic area I want to discuss and find the thread about what I want to discuss, rather than wading through a 300 page pile of dung.

that is what it probably is. Like cdcox's example. Should be easily solved by posters not jumping on people for starting a new thread. Especially when it's a long time poster and not known for thread spamming the board.

I brought up the idea of a basketball and baseball subforum (or other items) as well but that didn't seem to be doable. Not sure if it means too much reformatting of the current forum.

Ugh. Gonna do a self imposed ban to lighten my load here.

This is an embarrassing day.
