hamiltonfan Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Should we have a sub forum for all things each team with the main CPL forum? CFL.ca is a good example. Not sure if even possible and may not be the right answer but worthy of a discussion ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I was just going to post on a related subject, PR. I agree though, I believe every club should have its season thread, on this CPL page. And then anyone who wants, if they are going to watch and follow and comment, does a standard game thread, with teams, home first, and saying "Game Thread". A date could be added but I think that will be clear enough over the season. Eg, today's: Pacific FC -HFX Wanderers, Game Thread, and optionally 29/4/19 Pottsy3, ted and CDNFootballer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I just sent a PM to Jamie about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I'll create the sub forums today I think for the standard, game thread should be a prefix. There are prefix/suffic options for threads. I'll look at them after lunch. Unnamed Trialist and ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copes Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Saw the sub forums, looks good. One suggestion would be to significantly shrink the size of the crests so you don't have to scroll so far to access the general forums. xancgr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Added them, but I am little pissed off at the default layout. Why they think that is a good idea is beyond me. Looking for a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 What about a sub forum just for Game Threads for now? If you have .... Game Thread - Apr 29th - Goderich FC vs Moosejaw FC Which forum does it go into? Goderich or Moosejaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Will there be that much information to have a sub forum for each team? Better have everything here..1 general thread for each team and 1 match thread for each game so around 100-120 threads in 6 months grande 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking things up too much. But I also think things get buried in a single thread for a broad topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I removed them for now. It's too messy. What about a Prefix system so we have Pacific FC - Blah Blah Blah Blah for thread titles? ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Use tags for that maybe? Admin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copes Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just have a Pre-Season, Spring Season, Fall Season, Post-Season thread for each team? And when you start the new thread lock the old one (but post a link to the locked thread in the body of the first post of the new thread?) That way threads dont grow to become huge. Can also sticky match threads like you've been doing. I think that system would work fine. masster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of them and they are cluttering up the main CPL forum, and pushing down topics that are still relevant (although not posted to for "a while") long after the match thread has lost current relevance. I was just thinking that today. All matches, one place? Or CanPL Matches one place. I think all, try that first. ted and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they stop the horses from shitting in Cavalry pregames? Is the large building in the corner of the Wanderers Ground haunted? If people would be a bit more diligent about relevant posts, the game threads would not bother us so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Thing is most people view the forum in Fluid mode or use the Activity Stream, so it doesn't make much difference. Ruffian and Lofty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 ^ I dunno, but if I could "hide" threads I just don't wanna see that would be perfect. I could "turn off" the first post in match-thread and not have to worry about wading through dozens of notification in the activity feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I use fluid mode. It's not a huge issue, but I think a CPL match thread sub forum makes sense. Personally I don't have interest in those threads, but I do tend to be interested in the national team game threads (typically after the game is already done). The national team games are more rare so it's more achievable to read up on it, and in cases where the game isn't available to watch, or only through a live stream that may be at a time when I can't watch, it's the only way to consume the game.
