ChiefsPlanet DraftPlanet/CasinoPlanet: A Proposal

**DaFace** · 01-02-2012, 07:25 PM

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.

Oh, and we'd most likely just keep all the mods in those subforums (but obviously add them to the new dual-forum). There may be other minor changes there, but I have to figure out if the software can do it.

Not only no but **** NO.

Consolidation of forums is always a good idea. Especially with prefixes available. I vote "good idea".

Sure you do. If you're serious, feel free to explain why you object. "**** NO" doesn't add much to the conversation, though.

DaKCMan AP approves.

...that's what I figured.

I, honestly, hardly ever venture into any of our subforums except the Media Center, so I have no idea who goes in there and who doesn't.

I just realized that I used the word "anyway" three times in two sentences in the OP. I hang my head in shame.
