New Forum Suggestion - Split General Discussions Into Two

I'd like to suggest adding a forum for the posts that currently go in Baseball Mogul: General Discussion that showcase players, interesting games, records, etc. and keeping General Discussion for actual game issues that don't fit in Bug Reports or Suggestions & AI.

I'd even offer to clean up the current General Discussion forum by moving all currently existing posts of that nature to the newly created forum.

As an example, this is the type of thread that would belong in the new forum and this is something that would stay in General Discussion.

nah, I would just put that into dynasties.

I see dynasties as more of...log of a team over time, or continually following one player's career, not a place to post accomplishments or interesting things from a game. you know?

I know, btw: your writing style sometimes compares to ohms ;)
lol

If Dee would to implement this, It might be a waste of time, I don't think many people would use it.

Well, it's mostly just to clean up the current General Discussion forum a bit. People do post these things. They just currently go in General Discussion. This would give them a specific place to go, and those that are posted into General Discussion would just get moved to this forum. If anything, it might actually increase the number of people who post such things, as there currently isn't anywhere that says "Post some interesting things from your game here" or what have you.

I don't think it'd be a waste of time...because no time is really being wasted (well, except for mine, if I were to browse general discussion and move threads to the new forum, but really, I have so much free time...I'd be happy to waste it!). It takes a minutes or so to add a new forum.

I remember a time when there was one forum for each NFL, NBA and MLB team...

We don't need to go into that direction, simplier the better.

Maybe keeping General Discussions one forum and maybe a subforum/ or regular forum called General Questions....hmm

I agree. I've thought about this myself a couple of times in the past, but I've just never taken the time to suggest it.

Making it (the... Showcase? forum) a sub-forum of General Discussions, rather than a main sub-forum off of Baseball Mogul is a good idea though.
Hows that for a name, btw? Baseball Mogul:General Discussions:Showcase
:)

That's odd. I see a big contrast in ohms and hgms writing styles, but w/e

Also, boomboom seems to be on target with backing up his views on this. No need to fix what isn't broken.

I like it. I'd call it General Chaos though. More appropriate IMO.

General Chaos....that seems to be most threads in general discussion and sports talk anyways. :D

I think that General discussion should be maybe on forum where you can post anything about BM, or generally talk about your teams/players

While maybe a subforum called General Questions.

I think you guys are thinking a little too hard. ;)

any who gets ejected from
General Chaos should wind up at

Corporal Punishment or Private Parts.

either works for me
