A Few Random Thoughts [Not Rules Related]

[Artille]

So I was in the Entertainment section and realized that some particularly good threads are being limited because they are being mashed into one topic.

I think we are using threads such as the Official Sports Thread like they are subforums. It really limits possible discussion for each sport. I think we should either make a sports subforum or get rid of the thread to produce better discussion for each sport (Example - MLB 2010 Discussion Thread). I know there are a lot of Soccer fans on here, so why not make an official MLS thread. Just would make for better conversation.

The same thing goes for other topics like the GAME BASE Thread, which can't be updated because Steezys original account got banned. Even my Rumors Thread limits conversation.

BOTTOM LINE: We are cramming things together to try and make it look organized, but what we are really doing is limiting conversation. debate, and discussion.

Sounds good to me But maybe instead of an official MLS thread, we could have just an official soccer(football) thread since there are a lot of European soccer fans on here. I think the idea is definitely good though

I like this idea alot...maybe even a graphics showcase thread where everyone posts there work...there is already posts all over the graphics section. This would make it alot more organized.

Yes its the same concept as Game Base thread..everyone posts shit in one thread its hard to see everything...People are already making there own thread displaying there work.

Yeah I got you now. I think we are just trying to hard to make things look good. I think if we're gonna cram everything into a single thread, then we could just have a Games subforum, or Sports Subforum, or even a Rumors Subforum.

NOTE: Rumors Subforum > Rumors Thread

Rumors Thread/Subforum < Getting my dick chopped off. That is the dumbest thing on the site. Its 99.9% people just stating up stupid BS that THEY made up. Ex. Free_Tune and his countless little "rumor" stunts.

But with the subforum it would be easier to watch. I think people just take advantage of the thread, because I don't watch it as much as I should.

I'm starting to dislike the thread myself and might dislike a rumors subforum as well. But with the subforum they would have to have some kind of proof that could give us reason to believe that it's possible. An example of that would be your Steady Mobbin' on Nino Brown 3 Thread. It gives Twitter updates that suggest that it is, but is not official news.

But bullshit rumors like "Drought is Over 7 is coming tomorrow WOOOO!!!" would get deleted.

Sports thread is 99% used for football/soccer related stuff, no need for a subforum.

There is a few threads about gaming now already, I don't think we need one for that.

Graphics showcase works, ok wanna display more of your work then make yourself an official thread and PM me to it and I'll add it to the list thread.

Rumours subforum is pointless, there will be so much spam and bullshit in it.

Tha Studio isn't active enough for subforums yet either.

All in all my conclusion is we don't want or need loads of subforums. I see the point that's trying to be made but there isn't any need for them, alternatives can be offered instead.

I'm not saying create subforums for each, but I think that we need to rid of these threads that are just cramming every little thought together. The reason it is 99.9% used for soccer is that it was originally made for soccer, but then switched to accommodate every sport. I dislike it because if you want to start talking about baseball, you will be shut down by all of the soccer posts that are made.
