Too many forums - time for a change?

Back in the day when the VMC forums were a lot busier I created the current forum set-up however, times have changed and I think its time to freshen up what we have.

Normally I would have kept this post within the confines of the mods forum but, as my idea (see below) will involve everyone who visits and contributes I feel my proposal should be open to discussion.

Proposal

Delete the following forums...

Introduce Yourself
The Dungeon
The Pub

The above are no longer used, they look tired and sore on the eye.

Keep and update

City Chat - no change
Comp Corner & Match Day - no change
UK & World Football - change the name to something like 'Off Topic'. This forum could be used to discuss anything that City Chat and Comp Corner doesn't cover.

Please feel free to add your thoughts and ideas.
 
Sounds good to me Dave.

I like the Rolling Results thread in City Chat, gives us a chance to discuss the rest of the PL within the main forum, I know stickies clog up the board but perhaps we could sticky this one?
 
I have to agree Bluedub, one of the things that can look irritating are the amount of sticky threads we sometimes have. VMC forum rules and one or two other threads which are important should appear at the top but the rest should only be sticky when appropriate and have some meaning at the time. Once they lose their meaning they should be unstickied (is that a even a word - unstickied?)
 
I agree with your proposals and I also second BD's suggestion of pinning Rolling Results. This could also be used not just for the PL but also cup competitions and CL.

Click to expand...

you have the power to do that BD, like all threads that you consider need a sticky like the match day thread and then once it has served its purpose it gets unstickied and then moved elsewhere.

I agree with Dave that it does need a revamp and whilst the pub and dungeons served their purpose at one point, that has long since gone.

Off Topic is a good title and allows us to start something there.

I like the idea of the rolling thread being in the City chat, as it indirectly involves us and does the specubollux.

 
:110: Quite happy with a revamp along the lines suggested. Rarely ever been to the Pub or the Dungeon.

Generally I think we're quite on the ball with the stickying and unstickying threads but it does no harm to be aware.

The Rolling Resultsthread is quite handy to remain visible - it seems to attract a decent amount of comments.

Time to freshen things up - good work Tudor :yup: Fresh eyes and all that :hat off:

JB has not seen this thread and so its only fair I leave these forums as they are until he see's this. In addition, i'm away until the end of next week seeking some winter sun and so we'll leave the forums as they are for now.
 
Can I ask a question please?

The BTM and BTC threads used to be merged into the Matchday thread for the particular game. It doesn't seemed to have happened last season or this.
Lack of time and bodies to do it? Would it free up space if it was done?
 
Lack of time, it takes ages as my internet is slow, I think it takes up just the same amount of space and was only to make things look tidier, but when I want to look up a thread in this subject, not moving them makes it easier to find.
 
Hello everyone, I have been absolutely snowed under this week and only just found time to catch up on where we are at.

I wholeheartedly welcome all of this input and support these proposed changes.

A slicker, more streamlined VMC would be brilliant.
