Nah we want it like this.

It's like Sunday night games and video reviews and substitutes and rock music at the game instead of atmosphere.

Sometimes we just don't know what we want but luckily it will be inflicted upon us until we figure it out

Why not start a thread along those lines? We can see what happens. :)

next time you log in this thread will have been transported to the graveyard aka general feedback forum.

I've bumped a couple of old ones, the rest is up to others.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Under 'Collingwood Forums' you want 'Other AFL' ??

Which part of "This is a Collingwood Bulletin Board" do you folks NOT understand ?

collie dog wrote:Look it has reached the point of ridiculousness now. Three massive threads (two about Essendon and ASADA) and the one about Darren Glass have now been moved to the graveyard spot (Nicks Other AFL). I mean who reads the other sections of Nicks?

I'd say 95% of all the traffic on Nick's is people coming on for a GENERAL DISCUSSION of all things football. I for one am getting sick of all these threads being moved willy-nilly. The editing of posts is bad enough! :evil:

So come on mods. What's the deal? Either rename GENERAL DISCUSSION to read "Collingwood ONLY Forum", or allow us to be adults and have open discussion on all things footy.

So how long will it take for this thread to either be moved or taken down? :roll:
\

i agree with Collie Dog. Can we please do a poll as to whether people would rather have extra threads about a broader range of topics on General Discussion or have the mods remove all of these threads so as to ensure only the anti-Nathan Buckley threads stay here.

I vote wholeheartedly to let the threads stay in General Discussion. I am a collingwood fan, which means i like to talk about everything topical in the entire AFL - which sometimes isnt all about Collingwood!!!!!!

Maybe if a thread gets traction then it stays and if it doesnt, then it goes?

E, For a start, the (we) mods don't " remove all of these threads"

There's nothing stopping you talking "about anything topical in the AFL"

Nothing.

This. Donny, people want change. Take a poll if you have to.

Some people want change - I'll bet Beams to Pick 50 that an equally vocal crowd will emerge if we make the change.

The mods team is aware and are discussing the matter.
