PASabreFan Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 This forum isn't big enough to require sub-forum. Its really only needed if you get so many posts in a day you can't find the one you were talking in on the front page. The consolidated threads (ie. All About [blank]) helps a lot with that. The problem with All About is that it discourages people from entering. Too vague. There might be great discussions going on about a particular angle, but I'll never know. As odd as it sounds, I liked it when someone started a new thread something to the effect of, "Early impressions of training camp." I read it. But it was quickly merged into the generic training camp thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I always took that to be a mostly static list of other teams' message boards, and doesn't need to be updated too often. I'm sure there's probably a few in there that are out of date, but I don't think it gets looked at other than when we are looking to really understand a team, like in a play-off series. That may explain the lack of traffic too. :) Â I see. I don't visit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I think that I try to welcome new posters to the board...  I don't want to dismiss criticism out of hand -- and I certainly don't want people who could've contributed to the discussion to feel unwelcome and bail.  All thoughts appreciated.  I never understand this forum and the complete overzealous moderation. Personally I think it completely ruins the forum.  Unfortunately there are almost no decent forums out there for the Sabres that one can switch to Poor you. I do hope you can get by in spite of these difficulties. Just trying to help the mods get the right posts in the right threads. You know, to improve community discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... progress?  Do I do that often? If I do, I'd say that the departure of a certain two posters might have a little something to do with me saying it less... that or I just stop posting for a short period of time.  And now let the fun begin. Whoever guesses correctly wins a free beer from their own fridge.
