Daseal 03-02-2006, 01:33 PM Maybe I'm alone here, and if so I'll shut up, but I'd like to see what people think.
Lately it seems like the threads have been forced into very broad topics being discussed in one thread, this forces the information you covet to be extremely hard to find quickly and understand considering there's a massive amount of information of one broad subject under one thread. When threads get over 100 posts it starts to grow nearly impossible to read through and extract the information you want.
I understand when there are 5 threads saying we need a #2 receiver, that's ridiculous, and those threads should be merged/deleted. Now threads seem to go on forever on very broad subjects instead of the concise subjects I'm used to reading. The revival of year old threads also doesn't help, no one knows where to start reading from and reviving old topics makes it very difficult to keep up with whats new and whats old (I read dates, but still annoying)
As I said, Ill shutup if I'm alone here, but I was curious what others thought.
That Guy 03-02-2006, 01:34 PM eighteenth time, cutting brunell will not save us money ;)
That Guy 03-02-2006, 01:36 PM the problem is, there's been a lot of overlap lately. all the FA stuff, the cba stuff, the cap stuff... it all ties together.
and we don't have the money to do anything, so that's basically been the answer to every question lately :/
wilsowilso 03-02-2006, 01:38 PM Up until now there just hasn't been much going on so the streamlining made sense to me. That sure is about to change.
BrudLee 03-02-2006, 02:08 PM I hope you don't mind. I'm going to stick this with "Ramsey for Abraham". ;)
One of the problems is that the original idea of a topic may merit it's own topic, or certainly the right to stand on its own without being tied into another. The discussion that follows it becomes "more of the same".
Paintrain 03-02-2006, 02:48 PM Can you merge this into the duplicate threads sticky thread? :biggthump
SmootSmack 03-02-2006, 03:00 PM Can you merge this into the duplicate threads sticky thread? :biggthump
LOL...so what are we talking about here Ramsey vs. Brunell? Portis on steroids? Should we re-sign Pierce and Smoot? Why isn't Darnerien playing more?

Would we save money if we cut Brunell?
Schneed10 03-02-2006, 03:06 PM Actually to speak seriously, I can see where Daseal is coming from. When we consolidate threads it seems to lead to discussions that wander from topic to topic.
When threads are actual duplicates of other discussions, I'm all for deleting or merging. But for example, we had a Brunell refuses to restructure thread, and then it got renamed to include a discussion of Brunell actually restructuring. Sure they're related, but when I signed on and saw the modified name of the thread, I got all kinds of confused. In that situation I would have liked to see a new thread created named Brunell Restructures After All, or something like that.
I realize though that the mods have a gargantuan task trying to keep this board clean, and they're doing a great job. Just thought I'd throw two cents into the ring in the form of hopefully helpful input.

So you would have liked it if we had locked the original Brunell Refuses to Restructure thread, and started a brand new one that said "Brunell Restructures"?
One problem is always keeping threads on topic. One starts off with Does Ramsey have trade control which goes into Portis is on steroids to a general weighlifting discussion.
And quite frankly, a lot of people jump on here so excited to post some news they don't take time to read what's already been posted. You know, you're watching ESPNNews you see some info come across the wire and the first thing you think is "I've got to let the Warpath know" but with nearly 2,000 members the odds are someone has thought the same thing already and already posted it.
But we'll keep working to perfect the formula.
