We changed the sports-pub up and set-up specific sub forums for basketball, hockey, and football. That way all of those threads went in there but there is still a sports forum for the more generic sports. It breaks stuff up a lot and maybe that is a bad thing, but it would also keep things clean and maybe encourage a lot more generic sports debate as opposed to sticking stuff in these one massive threads.

 

What do you all think?

What do you all think?

yes. I liked the NFL talk and NBA that went on here better before the split of talkbears and talkbulls....it was way easier when it was centralized and you could get all sports in one spot.....now it seems like those sites really struggle to maintain consistently good Chatter (talkbears gets a decent amount of posts, but the quality is horrendous compared to what is here and what used to be here IMO). and honestly the existence of those sites deteriorates from the quality of the NFL, NBA, NHL talk here IMO. I wish those sites were never made and soxtalk was just the big center for them all

I like it how it easy, personally. Soxtalk is great because of the minimum possible number of forums, IMO.

I like it the way it is now - all in one place so I don't have to check multiple forums. I can just come to the "Sports Pub" and see it all.

I'd like it if there was a link to all those other sites right at the top, so when i'm done with Soxtalk, I could go to TalkBulls. I think more people would go there which would encourage me to go there. I admit, I don't post there because it doesn't seem like there's much of a crowd.

I would love subforums, I really don't care to logging into 3 different sites to talk 3 different sports. Too time consuming. I love it all in one spot.

That.

 

This place is broken-up just fine. "Cleaning it up," as you called it Jason, would only make things messier, in my eyes.

+1

No, I would not like that. Keep it the same.

I'd love it because with the way it is right now, the NFL catch all thread becomes the Bears catch all thread and the NHL catch all thread is basically the Blackhawks catch all thread

Please keep it how it is.

It aint broke, don't f*** with it.

I like it how it is.

Old people fear change.

I am an old person.

Please keep it as is.

Thank you.

Get off my lawn.

Keep it the same please. Thanks.

Well, I spose it stays as is

Well to me, I think if you click on the Bears thread, it should direct you to talkbears, if you click on the bulls, it should redirect you to talkbulls, ncaa football or basketball, same thing goes. Other sports thread should link you to "Other Sports" forum.

 

I think it's a waste of server space to have all those independent sites, and then not make people post there for things pertaining to that site such as how Derrick Rose is a dummy in talkbulls, or how Jay Cutler is god's gift to Bears fans everywhere.

Glad someone is listening to cryptville.

 

Personally I didn't understand how people could keep posting about multiple topics in one thread, ask for a separate forum, and then never post in it (Bhawks, Big Ten board, Bulls board to an extent.) For going to the other boards I don't see how it is convinient to keep logging into separate boards as Rangercal mentioned.

 

I like how the setup Motown sports. I also like when the NCCA BB tourney starts there is a separate sub-forum. Look how popular that is.

 

I say give cryptville his wish.

Agreed. If it was cryptville's wish, then give it to him. Take away the other sites or make people use them. Let's not have a site because people ask for them, and then not make them use them.

Well what I was thinking of is going a more drastic route where when you log into each site there are a list of forums, but all the same database. When you go to Soxtalk, the baseball sites are at the top, when you go to TalkBears, the Bears forum is at the top. The Off Topic is the same forum and everything and basically put each site just has its own unique skin but in its entirety we are talking about one massive site with customized graphics.

 

I have no clue how possible this is, but it was my idea.

 

Basically put there would be the following forums (plus or minus some): Diamond Club, White Sox, Future Sox, Trade Winds (When Needed), Bears, Bulls, Generic Sports Forum. If stuff got very popular, there could be seperate forums for each sport..ie a baseball one, a football one, a basketball one, etc.

 

And the order of the forums just depends on the site you are on.

LOL. That is what I told you 5 years ago. You can make a portal to do that.

 

But, it's not quite that simple, anymore.

 

If you're serious, we can talk more.

Yeah. That.
