Sub-forum decision - Page 3

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?

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.

Right. Who's "dominating" it now?

I like the Games and Geeks.

Good idea.
