Locker Room: Gone

[Nasher 33,607]

Hi,

After a trial of the "locker room" forum, we've decided it didn't work as well as we thought and have decided to abandon it. Player talk can go back in the "main" forum as before.

Please note that if you start new threads when there are clearly existing threads (especially on the first page!) that you could use, you'll still find your topics being merged with existing ones.

Cheers

RIP locker room

Yeah.

Ok, fine, but if people don't go to the search function at the top right and find a previous thread of the player, I am going to ridicule you.

Do I think Jones can play in a flag winning team?

I don't know, go and find one of the 5 threads that discussed this while you were on holiday/in rehab/in diapers and read it for yourself!

What's better, 5 threads discussing it, or one thread discussing it 5 times over?

The latter, preferably with a devolution into semantics of what constitutes a 'star' other than a celestial object visible in the night sky...

And you're right to ridicule rp in that case.

Understand the frustration, but the message board is far more active. Search engine for support is the clear method.

In all seriousness I was cracking a joke....apologies for any offence otherwise inferred....

Absolutely wasn't meant like that at all...guess I should stay off these pages.

Seems obvious theres bias..

I was just responding to the Rest In Peace part...

So don't worry about that...

Just make sure to look for previous threads on players and all will be well...

The fortunate thing about running a site is that you get to act on your own personal bias at times

I was only half-serious about that. I wasn't a fan of the LR but canning it wasn't my idea and it was the general consensus of the admin group, not just the opinion of one person. I did think it was an idea worth trying.

Please, we all know you are sitting behind a giant desk playing us all like silly puppets.

"More Jack Watts threads is what we need", you say with an evil laugh.

Yep. We borrowed the desk from CS.

I didn't like the locker room. im a frequent visitor to the site and usually keep up to date. But I found it harder with the locker room. Instead of a new topic titled 'Brad Green injured', I would have to trawl through a heap of old posts on the 'Brad Green' thread to find any decent info.

Gold.

As with anything, some people will be in one camp and some will be in the other.

I was never a fan of the concept.

However, we gave the idea a shot and got to see how it panned out over some of the off-season and half a season of footy.

Really?? So everytime someone wants to start a thread you expect them to find out if someone else has had the same thoughts previously? What expiry date do you put on the validity of a thread? 3 months? 6 months? 5 years?

Good luck with that.

Always enjoy the irony of posters who complain about threads getting started, but feel the need to post ad nauseum in every thread, only rarely offering anything of substance.

Get a few of those rabble rousers from 'ology here and 'land is beginning to look like Nth Korea or Tiananmen square.

[Undeeterred 3,101]

I don't bother with the player threads - locker room or not. Who can be bothered reading 500 previous posts, or trying to work out where the recent ones start??

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

But the lockerroom is not even a year old, and still in his first season. Wait until he puts on a few more kg's worth of posts and is involved in over 80 games then you will see he will develop into the KPF (Key Position Forum) we need.

;-)

I tend to agree, which is probably part of the reason why I was never a fan of the mega-thread nature of the LR. I've seen how this looks on Punt Road End when it goes on for years and it's awful. Once the topic goes stale and people stop posting in I'm okay with that topic being done and dusted.

I only object when people start a new thread when there's a recent and obvious one they could use, and that's when they get "moderated".
