That's not the way it has worked.
That's just my point. That is exactly how it has worked in the past. The change is what is being done now.

Would they be more pertinent in the draft forum or the main forum?
What's the problem with condensing discussion (in this case) into 2 forums?

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.
C'mon, Seymour, you're just being cynical now.
Oh, college football and the south...
Now, college football and the north outside of the midwest is, well, second-fiddle to almost every other sport.
But at least you linked it to the Pats. Otherwise, I have no care whatsoever for anything college football.
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).

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

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.
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 think the main reason to have separate threads is that in the offseason, this main forum is going to be notably lighter in tone, whereas the draft forum will be at its most serious.
I think the main forum would be a little mess if you have folks on the one hand breaking down draft prospects in a very methodical and intricate manner and on the other, folks just trying to pass the offseason time with some lighthearted threads.
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.
I know what you're saying and I agree to an extent, but we're going to the other extreme here. I think this forum could tolerate draft discussion which isn't too specific but more Pats-related. There would be no forum meltdown if this occured. Well, we've seen it occur before pats1 became a mod and it didn't meltdown.

Whoa there BM, i have to call you on this one! What do you mean a mess?
PP is a waaay more relaxed forum than here, so what! does that mean that this site is better than PP? To Each His Own my friend, BOTH Sites are Patriots FANS Sites at the end of the day, they just Have a DIFFERENT set up, thats all. dont mean its wrong!!!!!!

If you have an issue with me, take it up with Ian.
OK?
I'm done.
You didn't answer his question. Was there really a problem when all draft related threads weren't moved?

No, it doesn't mean its wrong. It is, just as you say, to each his own. I just happen to think this is better. If I frequented PP more, I would probably be partial to their way of doing things. I much prefer the structure to this site as it makes it much easier to comb through for specific threads.
