As for the OT stuff, I was on the side of getting a discussion forum because the OT stuff just got to be to much. If that makes me a whiner, than so be it. Like I said, it has its place, but just not on a sports forum. I would hope it will do well, and in fact, I think that it will do better than just having all the random OT threads on here. It should/will encourage more people to take part in the discussion because they know that's what that forum is there for.
Yeah, because it was just sooooo damn hard for you not to read them. Especially since they bothered you so much. How dare we force you to read them.
I didn't read them, but when half the page is taken up with OT posts about some movie or video game, its very annoying. Like I said, if I want to watch cartoons, I don't turn on ESPN, I don't go to mcdonalds and ask for spaghetti, and it should be understood that you don't go to a sports forum to talk about Threes Company!
Half the page? Half the page, really?
Before the creation of the general discussion board, the front page had 7 OT threads out of a total of 43 threads.
On a typical day, the oldest threads are three to four days old. I'd think you have a point if active threads were being pushed off the front page by OT threads, but they aren't.
All of this is a moot point, because the general board has been created, having said that, any talk of the OT threads being a distraction, nuisance, inconvenience or taking up "half the page" is utter nonsense.
Now without the occasional OT threads, perhaps we can get 4-5 day old threads on the front page.
Yea, it was exaggerated, but the point is clear. Every day, 2-3 of the top posts in a sports forum are about tv shows. That looks like garbage to a poster coming over from another forum. Unlike you and some of your kind, I come here to actively talk ABOUT SPORTS, not about tv, video games, nachos, the color orange or mount rushmore...SPORTS! If you want to talk about tv or video games, there are thousands of forums dedicated to just that, THIS is the only place to speak about just SBC sports. If you fail to realize the importance of that, you fail miserably as a moderator for such a venue.
Looks like garbage to a poster coming from another forum? Seriously? Good grief man, your hyperbole truly knows no bound.
Again, if the OT threads were having an actual impact on actual relevant threads staying on the front page, I'd think you have a valid point, but clearly this is not the case.
Lastly, I can assure you that I take your appraisal of my abilities as a moderator very seriously...
