@Babeinbucland

Thank you on behalf of the Mods for taking initiative and reaching out. To clarify, the filing fees are separate from the "use based application" fees? And additionally, 225-525 in fees if an extension is required? That's a steep price. I think this is an issue for @Moozician and @Rocker to work on.

That is how I read it too and These are their fees - some other attorneys may be less expensive - I am guessing legal zoom may be an option as well.

It's been a wild week or so getting this place whipped into something resembling a home. I know there's a lot of work left to do, but I am grateful for and humbled by the over 125 registered users. Thank you for giving this site your time and energy, and thank you for your patience and trust.

If you ask me, the board has too many sub-forums.

I get keeping politics separated from regular off topic, because experience has shown it is an animal unto itself, but 5 off-topic sub-forums? An entirely separate one for guns & ammo? Much less religion and "hard hitting" - whatever that is. I mean, nobody is going to be in the middle of an argument in any given thread and announce: "You know what, let's take this to hard-hitting."

Dividing the NFL into Bucs and all other teams also seems counterproductive. It's not like we hammer "other team" threads around here, and if one is worth talking about - like a Watson or Rodgers type of situation - a thread on it in TD is not going to kill the joint or get in the way of Bucs discussion. If a thread concerning another team stays at the top, it is because people are interested. Once they are not, or once Bucs game day arrives, it will sink on its own. Let that organically do what it's going to do. (edit: I just looked and, right now, there is a Browns thread and another for "all 32." Two relevant threads.)

Considering we are a football-based board, the college thing is even worse. There is one main college football thread in "other sports," but then if I want to talk about a specific player, I have to go over to "draft?" When do people talk about the draft other than offseason, unless they're commenting on a player currently playing in college games, in which case its college football discussion, unless they want us to keep an eye on that player in future games, in which case is draft talk about college football so..... for f's sake.

The tickets and fantasy and stuff - there aren't enough threads about those things to lose track of anything relevant. If the "tickets to the Falcons game" thread is below two fantasy ones, plus a survivor thread and another about an autographed helmet for sale, I'll still find it pretty easily. How many threads sit on a front page? Team Discussions hasn't even rolled over yet. Put that stuff in one place.

If it was me, I'd say, for a football message board, and with the known history of us peoples:

Bucs/NFL
College Football/Draft
Other Sports
Fantasy/Games/Tickets/Merchandise
Off Topic
Politics & Religion (or put as an OT sub)

The end.

You can have a few busy forums with lots of activity, or a dozen half-dead ones. I think choice A is the clear winner there.

@Kress the fact you don’t know what hardhitting is tells me you’re a man of upstanding character. Please don’t open that in front of your wife.

@Kress

Totally agree. Entire sub forums will be ignored. Again. Forum creep is a real thing and we need to nip it in the bud.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m away from the battle tank right now but it’s apparent that some forum maintenance needs to happen.

Put a limit on how many fit in the box and let inactivity drop them to another page. Give admin there own spot behind one click. I remember going back in the pages to see how we talked about the draft and games from the different years.

One would think the 2021 NFL would stay on the front page all year and the missing 2021 BUC NFL would be there too. The rest would be ideas of members choosing not to have their thoughts cluttered in those two. It would be good to have weekly stuff to fall off the board and members could always use the dates to review things that were said and talked about back then.

We seem to have a week game discussion and then a game day discussion and then a reaction discussion. Maybe all could be moved into their historical box. Example week 2 joins week 1 and week 3 starts. You could still talk about week one and two but they would stay where they were moved.

FWIW.. I like the separation of Religion and Politics..

I do like the combination of college and draft.. they are pretty related and tend to cross over post season

I'm certain of it. My comment was in no way directed to you.

Just a general opinion......

If you SUCK at something just pass when the advice basket is passed around.

They will come when they are ready to... or they won't. Would love to have them here, but something is holding them back, be it loyalty to BucZone, or not liking some of the people here. I dunno... And I don't think the staff is going to get rid of any particular poster just because someone doesn't like them.

Hopefully, they show up/return. We need diversity, do we not?

A person posted some spammy bullshit in Cyrillic last week, and the google translate confirmed it was spam, so that user was banned. I’ll look into it. Thanks for the heads up.
