That's just my point. That is exactly how it has worked in the past. The change is what is being done now.

What's the problem with condensing discussion (in this case) into 2 forums?
Like I've stated, the main forum is slow and filled with threads that aren't very relevant to what's currently going on (and the draft process is currently going on). Also, I don't have a problem with the draft forum, because it's for the hardcore draft niks to break down every aspect. I believe this forum can handle a little draft discussion.

You still haven't answered Scott's question though - Was there a problem when every single draft thread wasn't being moved? You know the answer.

And in the past, there weren't any Red Sox, Pub, or etc. forums. People complained about completely irrelevant off-topic threads. THEN those sub-forums were created. So you are only referring to a period of time where a great number of members were dissatisfied.

Believe me, this forum is one of the more liberal out there. I've been banned from my share of forums. Hell, I once got suspended from an MLB forum because I didn't show sympathy when Nomar tore his groin. After the Jaguars/Pats game in January 2006, I got banned from Jaguars.com simply because I was a Pats fan.

I'm being cynical because you've stated your apathy towards college football in the past. Here's your very own words...

But at least you linked it to the Pats. Otherwise, I have no care whatsoever for anything college football.
Would someone who at least cares about the college game be so hard line about this issue as you are? Doubt it. And before you became a mod there was draft discussion going on here without problem.

And after the Chargers game, the first page of the main forum had about 10 minutes' worth of threads.

What's the point of having a little bit here and a little bit there?

Oh, give me a break.

If you think that factors into what I do - which it doesn't - then talk to Ian about it.

Sey93, I think I gave a decent argument as to why the boards should be split ^^^^

Also, just look at the Planet and what a mess their front page is sometimes by not having more strict forums laid out.
