Message board 101

One problem I have with this Matty, is that it seems the mods are forcing lots of smaller story lines into one large storyline. When you're pushing so many topics into one broad thread, everyone talks -- no one reads. Once a thread gets over 8 pages long, I typically feel its lost most of its merit. I'd like to see people have the freedom to come out and make a post about something being talked about in another thread but in a more specific manner.

There have been plenty of BS threads lately, but I'd really like to see more threads on more concise subjects than one broad thread where everyone yells and no one reads.

I hear ya but that's really not the point of this. The point is we want more substance and thought put into new topics, less duplicate topics and one worded titles. Lots of times we do have topics that overlap and that's fine, it's when they are blatant duplicates that it gets frustrating, especially when the duplicate topic is right there on the main page of posts.

I second Daseal's sentiments.

I am sorry you feel that way and we'll definitely take those comments into consideration. Are there any instances that stand out?

I would like to start a new thread titled "Poor Redskins Fans" and "Don't get mad, get even" as its main message. What do you think?

I was thinking of a "fire JG, cut Portis, Bench JC" thread. The title will be: "Ugh." Or maybe just "Ug".

Hey Matty, what are those green and sometimes red little chiclet looking things under our Posts: ####? Thanks.

Thanks for making this clear, Matty. Looking at extremeskins lately, it's just been madness over there. We don't want to devolve into that madhouse.

Here's an idea: to those wishing to vent and rant and just let off some angry steam, go to extremeskins and let it all out. Then come back when your forebrain in working again. You'll find plenty of other crazies to join you in your madness over there,

This has got to be the suggestion of the year. We are supposed to exist as the civilized reasoned counterpart to those monkeys over there.

Too many overlapping threads for sure. I suggest maybe the mods be the ones to create the threads. You have a ton of posters here that can create threads and might be doing similar threads at the same time without knowing about the other new thread.
