Locker Room: Gone

[Vagg 2,439]

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.

Agreed. I very rarely bothered to go there for that very reason. I much prefer to see all the new threads in a single location. Thanks, Nasher!

An effect of the Locker room that will now be reversed was that it provided for an easier access to a greater number of threads as you obviously had two pages for them, now there's only one. If you wanted tofoucus a comment on a player it was simple. If it was a more cicumspect topic etc it was easy to see it. Now the moment a thread isnt commented in it will disappear to page two and most wont normally see it... Mankind by nature is a slothly lazy lot.

its done but I think its a shame

I thought the Locker Room idea had merit to discuss general form and performances etc, but there still needed to be the ability to start a new thread on the main board if something like news on a big injury or off field incident had surfaced, but as soon as someone would start a thread on the main board it would be shunted off to the locker room.

I think Cale and Jack should go harder.

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.

I am more talking about the one from three weeks ago, CIP.

Welcome to Demonland.

That last line is very pointed, have I insulted you in your short time here?

[Jordie_tackles 354]

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!

Have to agree, we have about 3 morton watts and player who played well today threads as it is.

Nobody will be bothered using the search function.

I thought the lockeroom was a great addition

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??

Yes, I find that frustrating too.

I think player threads can sometimes become necessary because sometimes the sheer number of new threads floods the board and pushes everything else off the front page.

An example was Scully last year, and even when started on topics slightly different, they were all devolving into the same argument, with the same posters posting the same assertions ('I believe in Scully', 'he's definitely leaving', 'I support the Club', 'the Club isn't doing enough', yada yada). (As an aside, if posters didn't feel the need to repeat themselves across numerous threads the problem wouldn't have been so bad, but hey).

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".

Nasher and I are on the same page.
