Connard Sage "More boards. Lovely"

Uh, how many times have you reposted this? Nothing like a good daily sneer to bring a bright ray of sunshine to all our lives. wink

GoodBye19 Nov 2008 11:55 a.m. PST

One board; one thread!

Anything goes!

Farstar19 Nov 2008 11:57 a.m. PST

Doug and the Sage both have their standard responses on hot keys.

We have a winner!

It's actually a lazy shorthand for what I'm really thinking. I bet you can't guess what that is

aecurtis Fezian19 Nov 2008 12:05 p.m. PST

More boards: yippee!!!

Hey, while we're at it: how about a Proper Capitalization Board, a Correct Spelling board, and a Why We Use Punctuation board?

"about stuff that you would other wise need to cross post"

What is wrong with the general board?

"Wargaming" and "Other stuff" is all we need….

@Connard Sage

Yeah, and considering how many times you responded, I don't think he's wrong about that. evil grin

Actually, I think it would be useful… I had a non military history related question the other week that I tried in vain to find a forum for… :P :)

My parrot pooped on my shoulder.

Grape Ape, I think you may have missed it as you're relatively new here grin, but many of us are just bone weary of new board suggestions and feel that TMP has far, far too many boards. frown And there are others don't feel that way of course.

"I had a non military history related question the other week that I tried in vain to find a forum for…"

General board?

If you stick posts on the obscure boards then the minute they drop off the front page, those threads are largely dead. I don't know why we have any specific boards at all really, just make the front page a bit bigger.

The only boards I ever visit (apart from the front page) are 'Game Design', 'WW2 Discussion', 'Early 20th Century Discussion', 'Modern' and sometimes '19th Century Discussion' and 'Ancients'. I only do this if:

a) I am a bit bored, as those boards sometimes have old threads with a flicker of life in them
b) the links to those boards are up on the front page

I certainly can't be bothered to go clicking away looking for them.

Isn't there some rule of web design about this? If it isn't two clicks away people don't visit??

"Wargaming" and "Other stuff", repeat after me…

Lord Hypnogogue23 Nov 2008 7:51 a.m. PST

No. More. Boards.
