I'm against. I like the single forum format
But with this forum everyone can have what they want as if you don't like sub forums you just use the new post or what's new section...
Have to say I wouldn’t like having any sub-forums at all. The consensus was to keep it as close to the old board as possible and one of the best things about it is the mix of different topics in one place.
One of the criticisms about the last forum was political posts taking up huge amounts of the board due to not having sub forums.
I fully agree on the no sub forums bit but wish we could have the discipline to just keep to one thread on a topic and not have thirty threads running at once where arguments get repeated ad finitum. In that respect one match thread is a prime example. Or is that a change too far as well?
Again I wouldn’t restrict it. I don’t see why you’d want to really.
Just my opinion but I agree with Cardiff - there are too many threads saying exactly the same thing and if you wanted a debate on a topic which would involve everyone having a say surely one thread helps? I get that the sheer randomness of posts gives the board a uniqueness that is held dearly but sometimes you make a point on one thread only for another thread to start up the debate all over again.
With these modern forums in these circumstances admin can simply merge threads if they wanted to.
Ok I'll say it again, if this forum only appeals to the more elderly crowd it will die.
Just looking at the music thread. If that was the sole place for music you would soon end up having to scroll through hundreds of songs. Especially the way Erimus has been posting lately. May as well just go straight to YouTube. At least if it was a separate thread for example to introduce a new band you can see it straight away. If it is of no interest to you just ignore the thread.
