Obviously, I am in a small minority that actually wants to discuss interest in discuss current football transactions and the team in general.

I understand that folks want to discuss what they want to discuss. That' fine.

PROPOSAL
Since the draft sub-board isn't being used very much at all, let's discuss football over there. That way we won't have to look through page of deflate gate posts to continue football discussions.

So my proposal is to start all new football threads on the Draft Board. This could continue until at least the end of July.
 
Right now, counting threads on the front page, it's about 67% framegate threads & 33% non-framegate threads

When football news more substantial than the release of an undrafted free agent is going on, I see it going the opposite way.

I don't want to miss team news because it was buried somewhere that nobody looks, and I don't want to miss framegate news because it was buried somewhere that nobody looks

It will be great if the mods can be more proactive in merging similar threads and general griping about one media report or another, but exiling one type of discussion over another isn't the way to go IMO

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm working on my 53. I can't get below 54. Damn!! We're good!!!
 
Whatever is the most timely news and discussion relevant to the New England Patriots is what goes in the main forum.

Nothing more, nothing less.

You yourself say you're the minority.

No need to move everyone to a place most will not realize.

What puzzles me is that you seem unaware that Ian has the useful Ignore Thread feature.

You can clean up your front page completely and have it only show the football threads you want. I have used the feature to block threads I found annoying and it works fine.
 
What is this "football" you speak of ?

Please tell me how I can use "ignore" to keep all the deflategate posts from appearing on my front page.

Go to thread tools and hit ignore thread.
 
Great idea, the Chukwa release got buried by that deflategate stuff yesterday. I almost inserted my " wow, say it ain't so." Comment in a thread about how often Goodell was beaten up as a kid. That would have been so inappropriate.

I didn't find it that hard to weed through the Deflategate threads to find the breaking news that we no longer have Cameron Gordon.
 
Proposal #2) let's use the homely naked black girl to direct us to the new forum.

BOTTOM LINE
Let's all post football related news on Adult Friend Finder's "Contact Us" section.

Plus, it's not that big of a deal to move through unwanted threads and might make it easier for me to avoid all the frame up talk.

Or my favorite, Chimdi Chekwa. Damn I'll miss that name.
