Question for Mods

[Benevolent Ert]

How about coupling POTY with an Adopt-a-Swan board? They focus on essentially the same subject: player performance. Latest POTY voting threads and the leaderboard could just be stickied, as well as a post with links to threads about specific players. Does that help couple both into one sub-board?

I was about to suggest something similar. On other team boards they have a subboard with one thread per player. I guess we have an informal version of it already with threads devoted to certain favourites.

It sounds like we are all on the same page here - that's almost exactly what I was thinking - and I believe the "Roomies club" could also come under this umbrella.

Throw in a non-footy related board and we've probably got all our bases covered.

I'd also like to hear suggestions for snappy names for the sub-boards

'Swanning Around'

?

 

[grimlock]

I'd also like to hear suggestions for snappy names for the sub-boards

Roomies - Discussion about players' off field activities
Bloomies - Discussion about up and coming players a.k.a the reserves board.
Doomies and Gloomies - Any critical discussion of players, club, coaches etc. Will be very active in the week following a loss.
Sloomies - non-Swans dicussions.

LOL funny stuff

maybe "Mooooonies" for baring your arse on off footy topics?


I seriously think the"roomies" should be held as a Sydney board tradition.

Who cares what it means WE ALL KNOW or can find out!!!!!!

It typifies the fact that these real SWAN guys we admire stick together, hang out, and live together in an otherwise hostile anti (but changing fast) city and state!

Also

If it was not for Nat and the roomie girls this board would have died!!!!!!!

And if anyone doubts that .... NAT absolutely destroyed me with wit and argument once, when there were only approx 4 regular posters + absent mods here some years back!!!!

and we would always fight about bloody Nick Davis!

 

[ssfc0203]

Whichever one of you were defending Nick, I'm now fully with you, provided no preference to KFC is implied

Love the insight into the name. I wonder why more people aren't putting ideas in? We need to make this board ours.

Maybe we can add Blood Blister's blog to the Sydney homepage? He writes for the heraldsun Swans sports section.

 

[Dudley]

Three boards:

1. Main board - Anything footy related.

2. Club Roomie - Anything related to the players and their off field activity. This needs to stay so I can easily avoid it.

3. Off Topic Board - Everything else.

This seems like a good idea, i guess we will wait until the review.

I assume R Walls will be involved, he is always in reviews.

 

[Dudley]

Haha! Classic. Dudley just got compared to the roomie girls. He is going to love that.

Actualy, this is not the first time i have been compared to an 18 year old girl !

Hahah, yes I always had to support Davo.

YAY for clubroomie staying. This forum just wouldn't be the same without it.

 

[SouthSwans]

POTY board *cough*.

 

[Corpuscles]

POTY board *cough*.

SS you are another who has helped boost this place

But WTF???

How could it require a whole board?

Do you mean full match reviews, full every player assessment, etc?

What is your idea? can you elaborate.... the mods are a bit slow!!

I have to agree.

I like the idea of broadening the Roomies board to incorporate all the individual player stuff. Eg. Have a POTY and Adopt a swan threads stickied and the week by week POTY threads can just be posted each round as they are now with SS updating the stickied thread at the top to include the current tallies.

Then all we need is an off topic board and we're set.

 

[nicky]

hahahahahha

i have a question for the mods... Can you please let me moderate this board?

 

[SouthSwans]

IMO the voting threads go missing amongst all the other things and can be hard to find for both me and people wanting to vote/review votes. And wtf is the "Sticky Thread" they've got at the top, get rid of that.

I can seriously sympathise with you on that.

I know it must consume a lot of your time to do the great service to the board (especially with BF shit search engine ).

Maybe there should be permanent stickys????

• the tally and
• a rolling voting page!

Sorry I haven't contributed much to PTY this year... but there were a few games ... I thought nah... I'll say something really BAD! so I STFU!

 

[Corpuscles]

Serioisly though Ert and Robbie....

you need someone extra to help and a few sane ones like SS have previously put up their hands

(I would but I am even more insane than Nicky!!!!)


Someone needs to take the best ideas from the other boards

Not LESS stickies MORE!!!!!!!

We should invite other supporters to a troll thread each week like Richmond


There are some really great ideas elsewhere that could make this more fun... now that it has more numbers and more popular


How can you dudes do justice to this board when you are primarily RWO orientated????????????????????

The problem is, the mods aren't on even once a week to be able to sticky the 'rolling thread'.

And like you said just then in post #43 the mods are RWO oriented, some of us have never visited there.

Also, with the POTY, Adopt-A-Swan, Weekly troll thread, we need to adopt and nurture these ideas from other boards. That can't happen though when the posters running this board just decide to take a holiday 13 days a fortnight, then when they do come on don't do anything about these suggestions.

 

[Corpuscles]

OK

It is time!!!

Robbieando and Benevolent Ert

Please explain yourself!!!

Every board has super duper passionate committed mods


You are just .... lacking!


How long are you gunna just consult Adrians book of standard Mod replies and get serious about this board!!!!


Many ,many, MANY have devoted their time and effort to drag this joint out of the wasteland! and now we have a darned enjoyable compliment of entertaining posters!!!!

Many of them I expect enjoy and post on the "other place too!" But this is different mentality here!!!


The clock is ticking.... how long will it be before you even notice????

[SouthSwans]

I share the same sentiments.

Ditto.

 

[Corpuscles]

tick tick tock!

only 4 hours , forgivable yes.... of course... weeks NOT!

*bump* just in case????

 

[SouthSwans]

Geee this is a momentous thread in the history of the board

Good to see

I've met Ert and he's a top bloke, dunno about Robbie, never met him but guys come on lift your games or pass the baton.

Ok - I'll bite.
"just...lacking" eh?
lacking what?
lacking a reliable passive income source so I can quit my job and sit on Bigfooty 24/7?
Yep, I'd agree with that.
But then I suppose that doesn't make me a "super duper passionate mod"
Perhaps I should red card everyone who demonstrates an opinion contrary to mine, perhaps that would make me "passionate" and "worthy of your respect"

Well I'll take on board your constructive suggestions - oh wait, you didn't make any, you just took the soft option and sat back and made random pot-shots

The problem is, the mods aren't on even once a week to be able to sticky the 'rolling thread'.

And like you said just then in post #43 the mods are RWO oriented, some of us have never visited there.

I wasn't aware you were sitting outside my window carefully logging the amount of time I spend on this site. However if you were, you might be surprised. Apologies for not making your little pet projects the primary focus of this board, I thought you were doing a pretty good job of maintaining a solid interest in them without needing them stuck at the top of the board with 15 other threads, hell why don't we just sticky every thread on the board? But what would I know, I'm never online.

Serioisly though Ert and Robbie....

At last some constructive suggestions rather than sitting back in your little greenhouse throwing rocks.
I actually agree that the "Sticky thread" is far from ideal, but our hands are tied on this one, it is at the request of the site admin that each board have no more than three stickies. We will be able to re-prioritise the stickies once we have the new sub-board structure in progress, something which should only be a couple of weeks away. I suppose I could always snap my magic fingers and supply you with the instant gratification you all so desperately crave, but I'm obviously so tied up with RWO at the moment as you can no doubt tell from the massive amount of posting I've been doing there that I'm just snowed under. Personally I would have been patient enough to wait until we had everything ready before going ahead with a re-vamp, but I can appreciate that you want your Oompah-Loompah NOW!!!!!

A troll thread is an interesting idea, and could be a lot of fun, but judging by the way some opposition supporters who come here to sensibly talk football get mercilessly flamed by those precious ones who can't bear to listen to an opposition supporter discuss their team, I can't help but think it would all end in tears. But if it's something people want to try I'd be most open to the idea if I wasn't so wrapped in in everything except Bigfooty.

Now I'm off to RWO - see you in a fortnight
