Jeff Matthews Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well, shoot! I missed the poll thread about moving posts to proper categories and didn't get to input. It's cool a decision was made to leave it alone. I think it's best that way. As regards categories, I think changing them and adding more of them, without a real need, will be a futile task. As Chris (tigerwoodkhorns) stated, his habit (and mine, and probably most everyone's) is to check and post on their favorite 3 or 4 places. They are not likely to want to venture out into foreign territory to make an off-comment. They have friends and regulars right there, and they want these same people to see their off-topic posts as well. They don't want to tell them, "Guys, I posted something off-topic over there." I mean, let's look at it this way.... Chad put his poll in the "General" forum. Did he put it way down in the "Forum Suggestions" forum? Nope! Wonder why? It's pretty dead over there. Anyone who posts generally thinks whatever they have to say ought to be seen. That's why they tend to post where the traffic is. From my perspective, the 2-channel and General Questions forums are where the action is. That's where I pretty much limit my activity. Garage Sale is very good for its purpose. I have looked around there, but only when the purpose is to browse with an eye toward buying used gear. The rest is pretty useless (for me), although I would imagine the HT forum is very good for its purpose. If anything, I'd vote for less categories, and not more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_tx_16 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm dealing with this at my work. We have a forum for our 14,000 advisors but our topics were so granular that no one really ended up using the forum. 125 topics! I've taken it down to around 90 but would love to see it at even half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted November 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2013 Um....we did reduce the number of forum topics. By a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Um....we did reduce the number of forum topics. By a lot Yessum, and I think wise and well done. I am enjoying the recent posts at the top. Didn't have that before. Plus, the fixes Chad has made like partial quotes and such are really outstanding. While I'd still like to be able to list topics in descending order, the recent posts takes you directly to the latest, which is a help. I am almost used to having to click on the post time to get to the latest...though it is still a bit of an annoyance. Now, my only concern is that Uncle Sam will get wind of Chad's remarkable ability to deal with hundreds of impossible to satisfy hornheads and draft him to fix that health care thing...

Jeff Matthews Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I don't know, but $647MM is an inconceivable amount for a website. I can't dream up what a site so expensive is supposed to do. Cure cancer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't dream up what a site so expensive is supposed to do. Cure cancer? I doubt the developers got a huge chunk - but there is also a pretty big technology infrastructure that is required, plus paying for support. $647M worth? Doubt it. Even so, obviously those who were hired weren't the best, and there should have been an extensive testing period, which there wasn't one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsear Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Oooooooo, scary............. almost political speak here! The new format has many upsides IMHO. Most importantly is that the operatives actually do listen and does make changes. That alone is uncommonly rare these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
