FORUM RE-ORGANISATION

[Scotty]

After a chat with CaleyD we decided to merge the 3 Anything Goes forums into one. So the Anything Goes, Old Folks and Youth Club are now all together as part of Anything Goes. The level of use didnt warrant separate forums.

We are proposing to make the follwing additional changes but want to get site users' opinions about the main football forums before we do this

ANNOUNCEMENTS - We will be merging the two announcement forums into a single forum called announcements. The club no longer send us any announcements so there is not much point having an announcement forum for that and as we dont make too many site announcements, anything they did send would not get lost in the crush !! [COMPLETED]

FOOTBALL FORUMS - We propose to merge 'on the park' and 'off the park' into a single 'ICT' forum. This would leave the football forums as ICT / NON-ICT / and RUMOURS - a reasonable mix and quite easy to work out where your postings should go ... discuss

ANYTHING GOES - We have already merged this forum as indicated above - you now have ANYTHING GOES & MEMORIES. We can add more if it is ever required. [COMPLETED]

PREDICTION LEAGUES - We have moved the 'betting box' forum that is used for the NAP competition into the Prediction Leagues as it is essentially a prediction League. This gives us GRINGO's NPL and BETTING BOX. We propose to delete the DEAD POOL as Bronson has not logged in since 7th July - unless someone else wants to take it over.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT - Going to merge SITE / GENERAL tech forums into a single forum unless anyone has any problems with this ? [COMPLETED]

I'm happy with that..... Hopefully now, there wouldn't be quite so much head-scratching when deciding in which category to post.....  :022:

All sounds perfectly ok to me guys. It would seem some folk did have problems deciding what stuff was 'off the park' and which was 'on the park'. Maybe all these change could help with site speed too. Keep up the good work.

Maybe all these change could help with site speed too.

Shouldnt have any effect on speed whatsoever with the exception that the initial forum index page (the one that lists all the different forums) might load a fraction quicker as there are less forums to list.

The site is looking much less cluttered already. There would seem o be merit in merging the ICT on and off the park forums as there is,more often than not, a degree of overlap between the two.

[Scotty]

OK - the re-organisation has been done as no-one lodged any reasons for it not to be done !!!

Now only 3 categories - Announcements, Football and Other

Announcements now a single forum within the announcements category

Football forums now re-organised so that there are only 3 forums inside the football category - ICT / NON-ICT / Rumours

All other forums moved into the Other category - Prediction Leagues, Anything Goes, Tech Support etc. I have also deleted the DEAD POOL and moved the single thread from that forum to Anything Goes.

[Kingsmills]

Much better in my opinion.

[Johnboy]

Maybe.... But will it stand scrutiny in a court of law..??

Bring back the clutter.

I liked all the forums lying around and not knowing what to do with them or where to post.

Bring back the clutter, clutter is Bomb :010:
