I'll point out if the mods got harsher on moving/deleting posts, the outcry from this forum would be immense. It always is; every time. You know that full well D.Z, we've both been a part of it in the past. Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,326 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It basically comes down to what you are used to and feel comfortable with and proposed changes to individuals are slightly annoying. I do not like the countless threads on the same subject as seen on fmttm, it makes no sense and the shelf life is often short with very little posts. Moderation is what it is on this forum we have great members who generally get on well and therefore it is not needed save slight deletions that sometimes are never seen or registered. You can tell though when drink does the typing! All for the changes so give it time and what you like the best will always be there 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking at in mobile version. Sorry if this has already been mentioned @Maccarone, this has been retained as a redirect to point any search traffic (or users unaware of the changes) to its new home. I'm going to move these redirect forums to the bottom of the listing and eventually remove these 👍. Link to post Share on other sites

AsheAshe 55 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I think user engagement is a key metric. if people can't be bothered to move between sections, then they might still end up derelict. As an example, there is now a section for "All Things Non-Boro" and this section is "Boro forum"...but there is still a sticky thread in here for Music, Films and TV series. Thats a fairly broad catch-all topic too that takes all conversations on those mediums into one place, which might not pique someones interest. Then there is another one for "All things non-football" - both these seem to be at odds with the restructure. When discussing having non-boro football and football in the same forum - or even all content in the same forum - the chief measure I would be looking at is the oldest date of pages on the front page. As it stands, there are 5 topics that have not been updated since October 22nd which is 7 days, then a bunch that are 6 days old. To me, that suggests that conversation is just not fluid enough at present to support many subsections, and by dividing it up you keep a line of separation but you also put off potential people from getting stuck in - and anyone viewing the forum for the first time will see old threads on the forum and think that it does not get posted on much. I don't think there should be multiple topics on the same subject, but that also doesn't mean that every topic relating to TV series goes into the same pot either imo. I think when you get to the point where all of the posts on the front page have posting activity that day then it starts to make sense to have specific sections to diverge as that stops content getting lost amongst other parts. Until then, its over-dividing it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I don't really understand why we still have archive going back 5 seasons? nobody has looked at some for 5 years, just seems a little strange to keep? I thought we were looking to smarten things up, update things? can't really see why we need to keep these visible? Maybe it's just me? Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,343 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 30,000 match day posts in our promotion season against 14,000 last season. That's some drop off. Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently it's so matchday thread authors can look up past results. Now, if only there was a website you could use for that... Link to post Share on other sites
AsheAshe 55 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The legacy posts will come up in search rankings though so even if its unused, as long as it is out of the way its beneficial to still have it there. Link to post Share on other sites
