Big changers to the forum

[NIGHTMARE]

One of our new members as said this

IMO, there are too many subforums.

Eg; In each division there is then another sub forum for each club. It would be better if there was just a Premeir League, Championship, L1 and L2 forum. Then every one sees all the threads without going into other sub forums. It means more traffic is seeing the threads and thus there is a greater chance of higher replies. Eg 2; There is also a General Forum, and a current affird forum (I think) Just merge the two, keeps the whole place tidier and means more traffic seeing threads in one place.

You may disagree with me though, but I think that would make the place better.

I like it as it is, maybe thats becauce we have been on it from the start so are used to it, each to there own..

[football-fan.]

Boooo!
Lol,

Sorry I too like the idea of sub forums it's like the 2 Manc teams playing at the same ground otherwise.
It would certainly be a wrong move imo. The forum is growing so why pack everybody together. All the fun is just that skipping from one to another. What about the Mods in place , would you run with them as well ?

Redundancy beckons.........

[Heffernator]

Correct in my opinion we have too many inactive sections which make the forum look untidy and not as busy as we actually are i know people who im trying to get to signup say it looks too inactive and theirs only a small knit community.

[pkt_drfc]

Ok we do but the busiest sections is the Barnsley and Donny section merging these 2 will be mad you will not know where you are with threads

i know you both have 6 fingers.

[NIGHTMARE]

The problem is too many people start threads like this

Look at this
Can't believe we are after him
pissed off with the way we played
stoke away

just reading that in a forum for all teams could have been posted by a fan of any club some people only want to read about one or two clubs and i for one would get pissed of with opening threads to find out its a bout a club i don't give a toss about

so for me i say he wrong

[pkt_drfc]

Yep i agree Nightmare we don't want to be tarred with the same brush as the Dingles

[Heffernator]

Why dont we have sections for each club and a general football one for teams that arent from yorkshire then ...

[pkt_drfc]

Because name of the forum is the yorkshire forum

[football-fan.]

Aye but we do have a football section where other clubs can be talked about.

[thornabyred]

leave it as it is for me please.

[hoolahoop]

We could consolidate all other footy into 1 forum and leave the sub-fora in place.
Incidentally if some don't see many posts on some sections .............it's because they themselves are not joining in ffs!
Get involved please Guests and others then it won't look like a 'closed' club which btw it definitely isn't!
Try going onto any club's dedicated forum and you will always find the ''I'm more equal than you, I've posted more times than you, I've supported this club longer than you'' mentality. I can honestly say that I have never seen any signs of that on here............EVER .
Jump on board a few more of you then some of us can take more of a back seat . This is everybody's forum to use on an equal basis , in a reasonable manner, free from over-policing.
Jeez what more could folk want ?
SO POST NOW!!

[Dagenham Rover]

I think we've got to keep the league/team subforums they are what helps to make it unique, however we could look at merging some of the more general ones i.e general and current affairs etc

[hoolahoop]

Agreed Genera+Current Affairs and Premiership+ Football General.

[Dagenham Rover]

Is it worth shifting the premiership sub forum after all Donny will need it next season

[hoolahoop]

True I meant just 'mothball' it in readiness for us next May.

[Phil]

interesting debate

Just so you know where i stand, i think the sub forum for each club must stay because i feel it gives each team a sense of belonging, and its nice to have your own space at times, you always know what team your about to read about before you open the post, plus its easyer to keep a eye on for admin and mods, but that's not the final say on the matter i will always listen to what members want and if a good amount of users want it changed then it will be changed. This is your forum not mine it belongs to us all and if changes need to be made we will decide together . i set this place up so people can have there say on anything they want and this is no different

Right then ive took on board what as been said, and got rid of a few forums and meraged a few too

[football-fan.]

Good Job Phil.

Just intrested who do you support?
