Adam Easy Wishes Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Honestly, why?! So now a good discussion that perhaps went in a different direction to that of the Season 08/09 thread is now lumped in with that?I just don't understand! ?(This will probably require moving to the 'Comments and Suggestions' forum or simply deleted with no explanation.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Fair enough, I just don't understand this system, Dave. I don't understand what possible harm it does to have the threads there?To clarify, I don't understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 We're just trying to keep everything tidy and stop having multiple threads discussing the same topics, why is that hard to understand?Keeping the number of threads to a minimum makes the forums easier to navigate, easier to read and easier to manage.

Thus when a little side discussion takes place it gets lost in that monster. I hate that thread as there about 100 different topics of conversation going on in it at any one time, by the time I go home at night then log in again in the morning there's like 5 new pages I have to trawl through to remember what I was talking about. Lookng at posts 720-740 in that thread now has just became a mele of nonsense with a multitude of different conversations going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I understand the need (or at least the desire) to keep the forums tidy and manageable, however I don't understand why it needs to be quite as strict as it obviously is.So any football discussion is encompassed in one giant thread?What happens to the series of posts that were made in the Aluko thread? Do they just get lumped at the end of the football thread in order, but with no reference to the fact it was its own discussion in its own right? Or do the posts made merge with the existing football thread in relevant order by time and therefore make no sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest treader. Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 to be fair, i agree with adam.there are literally TOO many forums.it's ridiculous.Why cant 'The Lemon Tree' 'The Moorings Bar' and 'Other Clubs and Venues' just be a "Venues" forum or something like?General discussion as well, it's not so general if you split it into like 5 forums?

davewarden Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Moorings and snafu help pay the bills so I guess that is one of the reasons for that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 i spose but...it's just annoying.also, as i mentioned before, having like 12 band forums when maybe 1 or 2 get used frequently is utterly pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
