Mavric Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Working on doing a little reorganization. Hoping it will make things easier to access. And move some of the busier forums to a more prominent position. Let us know what you think. 5 Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not impressed. Looks the same Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Old folks know this - but may be worth a slight update for newcomers ... "Recruiting" is just FB (other sports have recruiting within their headers) Perhaps just add "Football Recruiting"? 2 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I like the changes. P&R as a stand-alone forum isn't something that ever seemed necessary, but it works. I like putting Plan-it Husker & the Classifieds inside the shell of the Lounge. That also makes sense. I agree with NM - Recruiting should be "Football Recruiting," since that's the only sports' recruiting it focuses on. 2 Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It's not a big deal, but has annoyed me since day one joining the board, every 'HB' icon next to the categories has a football in front of it..... Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The board reorganizing is fine, but I think less threads that are nothing more than twitter feeds of the same info would be way more useful personally! Quote Link to comment

That's an interesting point. It would be kind of cool for each one to have their own icon. But I have no idea what would go into that or where to get the other icons. I'd have to do some checking.

admo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hey, not bad. Now could you do something about the running game? 4 Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The board reorganizing is fine, but I think less threads that are nothing more than twitter feeds of the same info would be way more useful personally! Are you referring to the "Fall Camp Updates" threads that are position specific? They can be a bit cumbersome, but I think it helps keep talk of positions focused. Once the season starts, they drop off in a hurry. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Those are certainly part of it. I've been vocal about this before and don't mean it personally, but I don't understand Mav's style of making dozens of threads and filling them up with just tweets. It's cluttered, and it doesn't drive great content. I already have a twitter feed. I come to huskerboard to shoot the sh#t with huskerboard members. Like, I don't think we need separate threads for Fall Camp News & Notes, Fall Camp 105 Man Roster, Every Post Practice Presser, Fall Camp Schedule, Body Cameras at Fall Camp, in addition to about 10 position threads, injuries, so on and so forth, with the driving force of content not actually being conversation but tweets. Just my opinion that it detracts from conversation and is unnecessary. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 To play Devil's Advocate, we have several members who aren't in tune with social media. They may find benefit in those types of threads. The most recent post practice presser thread from Aug. 5th has 792 views and 18 comments at the time of this post, for example. That said, I'm all about brevity. If the same type of thread is being posted regularly when it could easily go in a conglomerate thread, I think that's a fair critique. 4 Quote Link to comment

I hate to criticize Mav, because he brings a TON of great content too the board.... but, I agree with this ^^ Consolidation wouldn't be the worst thing, especially in the "Husker Football" forum.

admo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thanks Enhance. Some of us you mentioned could be in tuned with twitter, fb, reddit, blah blah blah but choose not to. So we happily stay away from it. I am open for changes and tweaks. But I like knowing that if I want to read something specific, I just look for the thread title and it's all in there. It's clean and without clutter from my perspective. PS. Don't hate on me LOMS I agree we need more convo around the tweets! 4 Quote Link to comment

Second, some posters do not have the time that to follow 200+ Husker related twitter feeds in order to follow the news. All of Mavric's posts seem at least tangentially related to topics that he posts in. I, for one, really appreciate it, and his posts seem more on point than many of the frivolous posts that are allowed in the forums. 5 Quote Link to comment

I do it plenty on my own. What I'm getting at is that this is meant to be a discussion forum, not a news feed. Quote Link to comment
