Suggestion Idea re: Forum

[sovietsong]

By my counting there's about 15 diaries on the rail at the moment including a few obvious joke ones.

If we move them the last thread on page 1 of the rail would date back to Dec 22.

Diaries are hardly forcing out breaking news.

Matt, please pack up Posting common-sense.

PS - There are JOKE ONES? Taking the piss ones? Which ones are they? I need to know. I'm shocked.

Have to agree here with Pleno, and also Claw has suggested it many times.

I PM'd Tighty about this today as well and although some of the diaries 'may' disappear a main board for them makes it quicker to access all the diaries and read them, or ignore completely if diary reading isn't your thing.

Why would you not be able to ignore a diary otherwise?

Of course, I ignore yours daily 





To be more specific, the diary threads bump down the other 'Rail, Poker' threads, and when you are on a time limit and quickly want to scan the first page (or rather the top half) to see whats new/important/beneficial to the days poker info 'only' fix, then the diaries get in the way a that moment in time.

Ahh I get what you mean now.

How dare you not have enough time for all blonde threads though.

I manage to police the whole interweb daily and you can't even stay on top of blonde topics.

pfft

I kept falling off

The over-under of pages on this Thread (it re-surfaces annually, so we can consult previous form) is 7-9 pages.

So, if we are going to have 8 or 9 pages of it, can we at least spell "clique" properly, please? Add "clicky" to "loosing  player" & Titanium Bean will explode with tiltness, poor boy.

I still stick by what I wrote 18 months ago. http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=34432.msg756379#msg756379

stick diaries in the lounge so that when new members come to blonde looking for poker related stuff on the poker related part of the forum they're not just confronted by a page full of diaries from people they don't know or care about. it doesn't help with the cliquey reputation

I've had people post on my diary that i have never interacted with on blonde... Hardly clicky imo.

I'm talking about people who never get as far as signing up to the site because they open what they think is a poker forum, go to the poker section and just see a load of diaries.

pretty sure none of them have ever posted on your diary

You reckon people don't sign up to the forum because of this?

I don't. forum sign ups are through the roof in the last six months...seo rankings up etc..and are now 5 times per month what they were 18 months ago

But isn't it supposed to be a community?

Don't we want people to come to blonde and get to know the people rather than just read some random shit about the latest episode of LNP?

do you think the reason for this increase could have something to do with my super fun xfactor game?

Everything to do with it. I was only mentioning this to Flushy the other day. He hung up.

I only ever use http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?action=unread - I never look in individual boards. Means I can scan what's new without having to go searching for it.

HTH.

You managed to have a discussion with Flushy about blonde?

that doesn't mean there wouldn't have been more if things were done differently though does it?

why not have poker things in the poker section? that was the point of going to seperate boards years ago

at the moment near the top of the rail we have sov, poker content=zero; tom, poker content=minimal, this thread, poker content=zero, your thread, poker content=minimal, a thread about thewy having babies, poker content=zero etc. may as well put everything back in one place like the old days
