Rc2catch Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 I really liked it. As others said there might of been a couple too many. Love the no new threads during games. Would enjoy no new threads for a certain time frame after games and keep the chats in the post game threads. I’ve never been a fan of how many “look at me” posters are on here that feel the need to have a thread just for their post game opinion when there’s plenty of places to have dialogue already with similar and opposing theories. But the site is a blast and I do enjoy visiting daily and the continued effort to please the masses on here. The moderator team do a fantastic job and some of you guys are amazing at breaking news literally as it’s happening on here. 1
Just Joshin' Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Think a good idea executed too well. A few less topics would improve. 1
StHustle Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 I find it interesting that Fuggetaboutit is a close second in the voting yet very few have articulated WHY they voted that way. I'm with the group who liked the idea but thinks a reduction is in order. 1
BillsFan692 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Iiked it but limit to 4 threads. O/D/ST/General reactions. I feel like "coaching" and "officiating" can also be discuused in the O/D/ST threads. 1
Foxx Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) i think often people are somewhat initially resistant to change. yet they do come around after some time with the new concepts. while on the other hand, if it was a totally crap idea, the board would be in an uproar, which it would seem, we do not have that type of reaction. i often find that in life, as with my work, it kind of speaks to you and tells you what it needs and/or wants, you just have to be cognizant of what it is saying to you. if you find that certain topics are receiving too little attention/postings, then perhaps that might not be an ideal thread. while, if you have one that is getting a lot of attention, maybe look to see if it may be better off being broken up. personally, i am an organization freak. i like most things nice and neat and tidy. i do understand that that is not always possible nor desired but if it works, all the better. to my way of thinking, let the board atmosphere dictate, just be sure to listen to what it is saying.

Nextmanup Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 1 hour ago, par73 said: Too many. One postgame thread to discuss the game would be fine, imo. The idea seemed to be an attempt to reduce the number of wild reactionary hot take threads after games, most of which are duplicative anyway. I never understood why we don't have a single "post game discussion thread" to encompass most of that discussion. A game result will probably also give rise to other thread ideas not necessarily hinging on the game itself, so those could go in other threads.

Another Fan Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Going in with a clear head they are actually quite humourous. I think just one thread during game day works. Otherwise you'd have 20 threads here Friday night on how Josh Allen is a bust
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 break it down to like three main threads, or even two. post discussion is overboard anyway, especially after a loss. as for the game day thread, it's a mess and moves along too fast, shouldn't even be considered a discussion thread but rather full of over reaction posts. 1
Figster Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 I like it, The regular season is sure to increase online poster activity here at TBD. I think its user friendly on gameday and helps prevent duplicate thread starts on the same line of discussion. 1
billsfan_34 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 I love the game day threads- first/second half works for me. Other posters have suggested o, d, and st- will people have enough discipline within those threads to stay on topic? Maybe it is best to leave it as is? 1
nucci Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 1st half, 2nd half, post game...too many the last game 2
Prickly Pete Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I appreciate the work you do, and understand why you want to try to organize things a bit....but I didn't like it. 1
HOUSE Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Can't we all meet at Main & Transit and fight it out. Plenty of parking there,,, 1
Figster Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I think If the Topic description looks more like a normal thread topic it may be more appealing to open and enter into a discussion at 1st glance. For instance If Ed Oliver was a stand out on preseason game 3 title the topic description " Ed Oliver shines/ Defense Discussion" Start the thread intro with a brief run down on his performance. It gives the discussion a place to start. Just a thought... 1
BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Yeah, it seemed a bit overwhelming and like there was opportunity to miss good contributions unless you followed every single one. I'm definitely a fan of the tried and true 1st half, second half, & postgame. Maybe pin a couple offshoots after the game to centralize topics you know will be discussed, but they felt too abundant and generic to be inviting imo. 3

I spoke to one thing and wanted to continue the thought, but what I wanted to say, was the topic of another thread Edited August 26, 2019 by ShadyBillsFan 1
PlayoffsPlease Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Just letting people start threads and allowing the most popular to rise to the top of the list is a far superior way to meet community needs than to pin a dozen threads and inform people "you should be interested in this"IMHO 2 1
