Draft Planet. It's time.

When DraftPlanet is in the shadows, the talk there is better. Dipshits who want to take Chase Daniel with a 1st round pick either don't know that it's there, or don't take the time to post it there - let that crap clutter the Lounge.

Leave the serious talk to DraftPlanet.

We're still seeing draft threads in the main forum, though. Either way the dumbasses will post crap like that in one forum or the other.

The convenience far outweighs the quality, I think. It's not like the quality posters will go away. We'll just see extra stuff around it.

One last thing.

Seriously?

You can't ignore someone's unintelligent ramblings about our first round pick for the sake of getting more people involved in discussion? There are plenty of fantastic posters interested in the draft that the forum doesn't see otherwise. They'll be there if the direct link is there.

But when it happens 3 times in the first 100 posts?

PREPARE TO BE NUKED

I've said my piece on this. Knocking a forum from the top obliterates it. The Draft Forum gets no traffic whatsoever because, as milkman's said in the past, "out of sight out of mind."

All I know is that I get a huge difference posting a mock in Draft Planet and posting one here in DaFace's prefixed wet dream. Posting one in DP invites conversation, and criticism. Posting one here, as I've done a couple times in the heavy traffic of the evening, elicits two-word posts, simple insults, and shrugs. The breakdowns, as I always love doing them, are few and far between because they get washed out.

And hiding the forum like it is now kills it.

The talk either gets washed out in the heavy, mindless traffic, or gets killed in an isolated forum. The happy medium is elevating the separate forum.

Jesus CHRIST JUST BRING IT BACK.

Yep.

I'm surprised this is even an issue. There has been a seperate draft forum now for the past 3 seasons on Chiefsplanet, and every year it's a great success. People simply want a quick rundown on draft news and opinions, and the quick link of the draft forum provides that. The main forum otherwise gets cluttered with other important things, like Pioli head coach threads and poop posts.

I don't even do that much research or post my own mock drafts or anything. But I love READING others' opinions on these college players. It really educates me well when the day comes in April.

If it hasn't been seconded already, I second putting the draft forum up as a link on the main forum page

I think it should be up there year round. Also the DraftPlanet keeps alot of the tards out when it comes to draft talk.

Get it done DaFace.

Here's my thoughts.....like anyone cares.

Bring it back.......but at least make it simple. I just get tired of seeing 20 new threads with everyone's personal mock drafts. Create a mock draft thread and merge all of the mocks into it if need be. Shit....I'll volunteer just to merge the shit together.

Don't worry, this will happen.

I know it will.

I miss seeing Draft Planet up at the top....but I don't miss the 80 ****ing mock drafts that pop up.

I'll help if you need anything. I'd rather see DraftPlanet then the ****ing DC.

there's no need to merge threads...except for special events like hirings and firings...

threads no one responds to will drop

threads that people respond to will stay on top

segregating the draft talk in a draft forum is sufficient to keep things in place...merged threads are abortions

it seems like we are continually trying to complicate and micro-manage things here...like the stupid Microsoft-like prefixes ("Hey, you want to post? Great, but instead of pressing one button, you have to press 3...we call it an upgrade at Microsoft!!")...it really isn't a complex operation, just post...
