Splitting NSC up a bit: the age old chestnut

[drew]

Separate rumour page so that the main forum is not inundated with made up crap. Also separate section for matchday threads for games not involving BHA. Bans for anyone posting a thread about a rumour on the wrong thread!

 

[martyn20]

I am surprised how awful many of the members here find so many of the threads here, words like cringeworthy, stupid and crap.

SPLIT

Too many stupid threads, not about football or the Albion

Suppose the chattering classes would like to leave it as it is....you are just driving real footie talking fans away.

Am I wrong? Don't think so. Other club forums split their content.

But every other club forum on the planet are boring as

true story!

 

[Mr Smggles]

Leave it please.

 

[jmsc]

Split it!

1) All things Albion/football.
2) Everything else.

Whilst I find NSC vaguely amusing at times, I also know a fair few people who could contribute
a hell of a lot but don't because of the large amount of puerile crap posted here.

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

For the Albion and other topics, no.

I do think we should have a separate forum for rabid Apple fanboys (not mentioning any names) and those Android lackeys. Perhaps another one for those Windows / Crackberry users (those who don't embrace real modern technology)

 

[Frutos]

Totally cringeworthy especially if you are from another club having a peep!

Who gives a shit what fans of other clubs think?

The fact is, when footballing/Albion stuff is afoot, NSC quickly reflects this, with mighty relevant threads relegating the bizarre and quirky workings of the NSC consciousness out of the way.

It happens organically, and it also means that while footballing/Albion stuff is not afoot, we can share arse wiping techniques and idly speculate about Boris's Johnson.

If it ain't broke...

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Keep same as otherwise splitting football and non football up would dent the first and completly kill the second I think

 

[Trigger]

Maybe it is time but anymore than two would be ridiculous... Maybe just Football & Other.

NSC is self regulating, when there is Albion news to discuss, it is at the top of the main board, and when football is secondary, then such non-Albion topics are discussed. Some of the greatest threads are non-Albion in nature, and if they were effectively moved to 'the other stuff' area then the level of contributions would be drastically reduced.

I have had tears of laughter reading some of the posts/retorts from chucklemeisters such as Easy and Edna, and it would be a shame if such talent was wasted.

 

[beorhthelm]

leave it, the single big board is one of the things that makes it better than so many other internet forums. besides, you will only give yourself an admin headache as threads have to be constantly moved to other sub-forums as people will start them in the wrong place (and threads will desend into bickering over which forum it should be in).

100% with you on that. Keep it as it is.

I say split it up a bit between football and other off topic stuff.

Part of the reason I don't post on here that reqularly is because of all the crap you have to wade through to find some decent opinions on an Albion related subject - it would be much easier to find football based threads. The other part of that reason that I don't come on here that much is that I post on another forum (not football related) much more regularly than I do on here and even though it has fewer contributors / users than NSC, having it split up between the technical information and the off topic stuff means that it is MUCH more navigable.

Agree, would be good to have a football only forum, then a general forum to discuss things like sticking your mates toothbrush up your arse as a holiday prank...

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

No change needed. Good to air the topic.

It may be busier than ever - but only you see the stats. There are lots of threads for sure - but most people add to existing threads, and those that create new ones tend to learn over time.

With some obvious exceptions.

ITS BUSY CAUSE IT WORKS

I would say this nails it,it will be all Albion related come Friday tea time for 24 hours.
