The majority of respondents do (so far), though.if you notice, your survey isn't a slam dunk: over 40% of the respondents don't have an issue with it...
Those are rare, far and between. Your posts are constant, everyday and quite pointless. Just because we are on someone's top 38, doesn't mean they deserve a new thread. Similarly, we don't create a new thread for every 3 ever shot by a VCU player despite it being directly related to the program (probably more so than some random list).So.you want a main forum full of threads about topics vaguely related to VCU(vcu aND papa johns) instead of VCU basketball?
Go post at boneyard then. It's like saying, cops in a third world country don't mind taking bribes and we should do the same here.So what if I posted them...what difference does that make??? They are about current basketball recruits VCU are after NOW.
it's relevant. You're saying as if I violated some forum law here.
They are tracking threads that allow us to track prospects on an individual level. Some people here actually like the idea of being able to see this without wading through the recruiting thread...the mods on boneyard don't have a problem with it...see below...Watts, Lecque, Akok, Cockburn, Wahab, Achuiwe etc all have their own threads..
if you notice, your survey isn't a slam dunk: over 40% of the respondents don't have an issue with it...
None of this makes a difference. The bottom line is that it's your forum: do what you want.

Well, this isn't about the boneyard, it's about what our fan base wants. If a sub-forum were created with a link to it from the main VCU Men's Basketball forum, this problem would be easily solved and people on either side of this debate could be satisfied. You would still get to do your thing, and the people that want all of the recruiting news would still be able to get it with ONE extra click.So what if I posted them...what difference does that make???

Are we really missing much in those threads this time of year? If people are checking this forum even just once a day I do not see how you can miss any big news in the above threads. I enjoy seeing what prospects we are making cut lists for and it hasn't diluted my experience at all. But sub forums seem like a solution to make everyone happy.Because of your constant pushing of your posts up by posting random tweets or posts in them, we miss out on many other threads. You have diluted people's experience here. It's not fun seeing only the same type of posts on top of the front page everyday all the time.
For example, threads like below end up at the bottom of the page or second page.
News About RAMS in The Pros
2018-2019 Opponent Tracking
VCU's 2018-2019 schedule
2018-2019 Offseason
Former Recruits and Players
Season Tickets?
Threads about current players
VCU Media Mentions
This is the effect we have...
Mike Rhoades Show, Media Minutes & Pressers
Welcome to the 2019 Recruiting Class

What else would you expect the front page to be devoted to in August? Even during the season, the recruiting threads really provide the only true information on the board. Would you rather see page one devoted to celtic guy's penetrating coaching analysis, complaints about who gets minutes and who doesn't and the-world-is-ending grief when we lose a game?It's a little crazy when half the front page of the MBB forum are your posts about recruits. I'm not for or against it, just saying I get why people are bothered, and why there's a movement to see about moving them somewhere else.
faster than waiting for a silly GIF to load for sure.Seriously, just make the sub-forum and everybody gets what they want in some fashion. It's one extra click that takes roughly 0.4 seconds of your time...

The quality and value of the board would be increased if there was more recruiting news, not less, and the more accessible the better. I am not saying we need a new 20-exclamation-point thread every time a recruit wears something black or gold, so I think a little discipline might be in order, but more recruiting threads would be infinitely preferable to more Havoc Haiku threads, more TBT threads, more FCUKING PEP BAND THREADS etc etc etc.
