And when threads are moved to off topic or smack, they pretty much stop having any activity.

If we move anything to a new board, I’d vote for recruiting. I think the fans who update and track that are the most likely to go out of their way for that information.

Why bother? What we're getting on the BB recruiting thread now is a coaching argument that no longer has anything to do with recruiting. It's like going to the Weather Channel for an update on Hurricane Laura and finding Mary Poppins instead.

It’s been cleaned up.

Well that's taken care of.

Well, it’s a weird line to judge. Some folks treat threads as news sources and only want topic posts included. Some start a new thread every time a new thought pops into their head. And the remainder view threads as the starting point of a conversation, fully knowing the longer a topic is discussed it is naturally going to morph.

It’s pretty much impossible to create a new thread every time a new topic arises in every solitary thread. So I usually just let it flow unless it gets nasty, political or someone complains.


You're doing a fine job herding this group of cats. Crootin' threads have a shelf life. It looks like that class is finished now and there's got to be a place to ***** about JJ.

As far as Important Threads being on the main page, I think I'd prefer that to a separate page altogether. Our smack page never gets used and the OT is only used by CameramanJ talking about beer. I don't mind scrolling a few. That's my vote.

RE: Rebrand and Team Skin Upgrade In Progress
I agree with just leaving it as-is right now. We seem to be pretty good on rotating threads out when they're no longer relevant, and the other boards are very much in an "out of sight out of mind" scenario.

I do appreciate CamereamanJ talking about beer though, he's always got a few good recommendations.

I wouldn't be against taking down the stadium construction thread and replacing it with the craft beer thread in the Important Threads section. If we ever get those banners it's a year away and we can have a new thread for that.

I think if the recruiting stuff was lumped together in a dedicated sub board it would get used and lend to a cleaner look over all. As it is now 6 of the 13 important threads are recruiting. If nothing else why not try it and see how it goes? If it is a total disaster move the stuff back and super size important threads again.

Better than the current?

I wanted something like this: https://www.dafont.com/king-arthur-legend.font but the S in that font is annoying AF. So annoying I find it impossible to accept the font if I'm going to use S. Which annoying I am here.

Current better. I know is just me, but can we add the Eastern Shore to the state of Virginia. Thanks for your work.

It’s better. But I really don’t like how oversized and awkward that apostrophe looks on the new option.

How about the Rotunda font? It's one of the more cleaner blackletter fonts. That Arthur font is weird

It shows people recruiting now and a chart of players by year (including new committed recruits.

RE: Rebrand and Team Skin Upgrade In Progress
I could maybe see a Recruiting sub forum. I just feel like we're not quite big enough and active enough to warrant it just yet. I follow the same train of thought as Drunkard. Hell, look at this thread. We're talking about fonts and re-organizing the forum in the same stream. Just not possible to please everyone and their style of consumption or interaction.

You can over engineer it and make it unusable by compartmentalizing it to the point of frustration. The SJ's of the world want form, structure, and like the idea of clicking through a navigation system to get to the exact topic at hand. The NF's (myself) would prefer a big stream that I can search to find what I want when I want it and don't want to have to navigate some structure. And we have everything in between.

Going to add the eastern shore bit since the JMU people are getting it. Even if it looks silly. Will redo the font.

The domain redirect looks like it got mangled by the registrar so I've removed everything and put in a clean redirect. Should take a few hours to work for most people.
