Title: Recruting board poll
Post by: rocky_warrior on May 14, 2008, 12:00:17 PM
We're not quite a democracy, but based on immediate feedback I'm curious what the masses think.

Chili - if I could automatically fill in your vote I would  ;)

I exercised my right thank you very much.

I voted no.  I think the answer lies in the question.  Recruiting information can be added to the Wiki.  Discussion can take place in the Al as it has been.

You should also put this question on the main board.

I'd imagine there are a whole bunch of people with no interest in heading to a separate board.

Oh - I also voted no, as in, the separate recruiting board sucks.

There's a recruiting board now?  Where should I send my $99 for private info that Rosiak / Cracked Sidewalk / this board tells me about 15 minutes later.

 ;)

(get it, a wink)

In all seriousness, I'd keep recruiting topics on the big board, but have a place (wiki or separate page with tacked threads) where any and all articles on key recruits or signees can be found, stored etc.

When did you find out about Autry?  I did April 28th on the premium board.  Don't criticize something you know nothing about, DKC.  ::)

I think that it may take some getting used to, but I really do prefer to have all basketball info in one place.

Think about it.  This is like the most exciting post all day.  Why dilute the board even more?

I've reposted my post in the Al's recruiting section:

I, too, do not like jumping back and forth. However, whenever I look for recruiting information, it's time-consuming and frustrating to scan page after page for scattered info.

So, it's nice to see it in one place.

Jumping...I'll get over it.

Like Crean. Wink

EDIT: One rec...move this section ABOVE the SuperBar.

Don't like it.  There might be a need for it during the season.  Now, not so much.  Recruiting at this point in time is integral to the program.  Keep it all in Hangin' at the Al.

(Subtle between-the-lines hint -- undo the changes and roll them out next, say, December.)

Keep it all in Hangin at the AL. WIKI works fine for recruiting charts, updates, etc., but for thread topics and discussion, one board suffices.

You knew on April 28th about such major, major news? Wow. That's almost like insider trading.   :o

I think it is obvious that this was an unpopular thing to do - when are you going to change it back?

Are you people complaining about it using it?  It's so nice to be able to go there and instantly be able to access all the information about all the different recruits.  When that stuff is on this board it's a pain to find.  There is no easy indexing system on this site for the threads.  Do you put all your computer files in one folder?
You are hating on it because you have to click to go to a differnet page?  How many web pages do you go to where all the content you wnat to see is in one long list?
What if you went to espn and instead of different tabs they just had one big long list of links.  WOuldn't that suck?

You all sound like a bunch of elderly cave men chanting "we fear change" around a fire.

in the words of my forefathers genau - exactally. Its great to see someone has some sense RawdogDX. What I really would like is one reason besides "It makes Hanging at the Al too slow".

Sad to see that it is gone.... I think it really would have kept our info and boards more organized and less cluttered.  I'm surprised that so many people were against clicking one more time to get to recruiting info, but I guess majority rules.  Back to how it was before  :D
