Friday offtopic, Forum Features edition

That was before my time, and worth the quick read, but I had to stop around page 5 as it really started to jump the tracks....

He had a crazy obsession with alternate logos.... I pity his wife when they have kids- he's liable to toss out alternate names for years....
The guy was something else. Obsessed with image attachments. Couldn't make a post without multiple attachments. And he'd always have bold text and headlines in his post. One day I just came to the conclusion that he was trolling and banned him.
 
This seems to be a good place to set up my soap box, but I think there are too many forums. Most of the forums hardly get used or only have a handful of people actually posting and checking them. I think there are alot of forums that don't need to exist or could be merged together. I think a streamline forum would generate more discussion.

For example, Team News & Rumors should be combined with Supporters Discussion. NYCFC Roster should be a sub-forum inside that merged forum. I don't really know if we need an event and meetup or supporter's faction section separate from Team News & Rumors/Supporters Discussion. MLS and Other Football should be merged together and put higher up (maybe under the Team News & Rumor/Supporter Discussion Forum. Other Sports can be merged with Offtopic.

This is something that has been discussed by Dan and myself on a few different occasions. I did trim a little bit of the fat a couple of weeks back, but in a few places so I'll discuss it with him again. No promises on what will come out on it at this stage - we'll get back to you.

As I do argee with you that there are a lot of threads that are being mostly unused I do disagree that we need to combine most of them together. Personally I like that there is more diversification within the topics for the thread. It makes it so there is more distinct topics and less clicking if you put them together inside one another. TBH it's not that big of a deal to me because I use the recent post button these days
 
Would be a neat feature but people are very sensitive. Someone that keeps getting negative feedback is likely to take it personally and start conflict. Good suggestion, can look at other posibilities.
ALBNYfan I'll see if that a possibility.
If you have an iPhone doubletab the top of your screen and it'll jump you to the top of the page.

I think a "disagree" button would work and probably not upset people (it's not a "dislike" button). Also a "funny". You don't want more than 3-4 because then it gets unwieldy and ridiculous.
