You can shut up now whiners

Why is the hockey forum now a sub forum of other sports?

 

[NAHSTE]

Because if not, this thread would still be on page 1 when the season starts ...

:tiptoe:

 

[killgod]

i dunno who did it.

 

[Chrispy]

 

Atlas did :shifty:

Step in line canucks.

Of course we don't have a lot of stuff to post in this section...

We don't have 100 arrests to report every season...
We don't have sex scandals ripping things a part...
Players don't hold out every off season while on contract because they want a huge money deal...

I miss Avery now :crying:

You shouldn't be taking notes from the NFL on "How to be a Respectable Sports Subforum."

So over the course of this last week I've been meaning to post stuff in here. Shane Doan updates and a batch of teams signed their first round picks and more CBA stuff but I would literally miss this forum because its so buried now.

Which ever idiot moved this either needs to move it back or just tell us to go post at hfboards because this is retarded. The baseball forum which gets weekly random thoughts thread only stays active because of it and we've tried to keep posts going here but its a total failure. Someone needs to smarten up.

if i want hockey talk i got to hfboards. maybe atlus can buy that site with all the $ he will bring in from the vsn store?

It's just pure stupidity thats what it is.

I hope Wr50l makes a new random thoughts thread because deleting that was just another bone headed move.

 

[Atlas]

that random thoughts wasnt my idea or call, but i will stand behind it... you guys dont post enough NEW content in here, so i hope moving back out to its own subforum makes you more active...

This is just not true.

Last post in last thread on page one of the baseball forum: 7/25

Last post in last thread on page one of the hockey forum: 7/2

The baseball forum is active, even with a 'Random Thoughts'. Same for the MMA/Wrestling/Boxing forum, which stays active while also having three 'Random Thoughts' threads and several other stickies for general thoughts (2012 Wresting Tracker, etc).

When the hockey forum had a "Random Thoughts', it was literally the only thread you guys would post in and you had threads on page one that were MONTHS old.

That's why it was removed. Not saying I particularly give a fuck either way, just explaining the difference. THE POWERS THAT BE don't wan't old ass threads on page one, it's a major traffic killer when lurkers see that shit. A cliquish 'Random Thoughts' is bad for driving traffic.

Ok???

Are we talking about fighting or taxes or something?

First off lol @ at comparing the baseball forum and hockey forum right now. There is nothing going on in hockey right now while Baseball is mid-season and heading to playoff push.

Second, always amazes me that non-hockey people come in here all the time to give their piece on how we shouldn't have a forum, yet they never post anything hockey related. Considering we have like 10 hockey guys who post in here on a regular basis, I would say we are doing fairly well.

I didn't say you shouldn't have a forum. I didn't even say you shouldn't have a 'Random Thoughts' thread. I just came in here to counter leaffans bullshit of "the baseball forum gets a random thoughts thread and only stays active because of it', and explain for the hundredth time why a random thoughts thread works in some forums, but doesn't seem to work in the hockey area.

If you guys want a random thoughts thread, knock yourselves out. But then when nobody is posting threads, Atlas or whoever else is going to get annoyed at two month old threads on page one, and there will be yet another debate as to whether the forum should be shut down and the 'Random Thoughts' thread moved to 'Other Sports'.

Give NASCAR their own forum too.
