DraftPlanet/CasinoPlanet: A Proposal
Every year, we have the debate about when (and if) Draft Planet and Casino Planet should be hidden from the top and when (and if) they should be brought back. This has all been discussed ad nauseum around here, so I won't reiterate everything, but the basic idea is that there's not a LOT of talk in the regular season about the draft (though there is some), and there's not a LOT of talk in the offseason about fantasy sports (though there is some). So, it would be nice to have them both available year-round, but doing so adds another subforum to an already large list at the top of the Lounge. (Yes, you can hide them, but 90% of people don't, and they'd still be there for guests and the like.)

After a brief chat about it in the mod forum, we'd like to propose that the two forums be combined into one, but left up year-round. We'll add prefixes to the forum so that the different topics can be distinguished from each other and filtered if desired. It won't be the cleanest combination ever, but I think it'll be manageable given that people are already used to the hodgepodge of topics they sort through in the Lounge anyway and that the activity in those forums is comparatively low anyway.

Anyway, this thread is mainly to see if there are any strong objections to doing so. I might add a poll to this thread later if necessary, but the current thinking is that we'll do it unless a bunch of people hate it.

Discus.

The betting threads are stickied and only run during the football seasons. And there are just a few FF threads.

then it's your problem for not knowing you can ignore threads you have no interest in.

Draftplanet should get dibs in the lounge or its own separate forum during the offseason..

Each forum has about a month's worth of threads per page right now... CasinoPlanet wasn't touched from the end of Feb through the end of June last year, and DraftPlanet generated one page of threads from Oct until now.

If you think that's even too much sifting, there are prefixes.

If you are so worried about clutter, why does every thread about someone's grandmother getting a skinned knee get stickied?

For me, personally? I actually agree. I almost wish the sticky function didn't exist.

But my guess is that most people like stickying prayer threads. I'm certainly not going to push for doing that differently.

The table is usertextfield and the column is excludeforumids. If we set that column to have a default value of 2,28,22,30,29 then the following subforums would by default be hidden...
Media Center
DC
Pictures
CasinoPlanet
DraftPlanet

Obviously this would change after combining them... not the best solution but it certainly would work.

Hmm...is there any way to change it on the guest account? That would take care of new users, but it'd be annoying to have them all up there for people who aren't logged in.
