White Sox Board is already slow, no need for a sub-forum

It doesn't matter where the activity or lack thereof is as long as it stays in the White Sox Forum + sub-forums.

However, I also don't like the Cubs/Sox sub-forums.

:nope:

There are now sub-forums on the Sox and Cubs boards for rumors. Just something new we're trying out.

I don't really think that's necessary, but I'm not very smart so I guess you guys running the site know what you're doing.

i think it might work. Sub forum for the off season stuff. But it will take away from the actual forum........

But the board is barely active now.

this sub forums thing in the sox forum is stupid. if the cubs guys want theirs, great. but for a slower forum like this one, putting all the rumors and shit in a sub forum is just a pain in the ass for any lurker. they want to go into the sox main forum and have everything right there, they are going to see a whole lot of nothing and may not realize they have to go into another hole to see rumors. i have already expressed my opinion on this but it looks like rush has other ideas about the site with his new staff guys.

You didn't express your opinion. You just said you the new sub-forums suck. That is far from expressing much of anything.

Having a "Chicago White Sox Rumors" means that it will help rank CCS up higher for Sox fans looking for rumors. If you google "Chicago White Sox Forum" on Google, we show up on the 1st page. We can also show up on the 1st page if we have a sub-forum called "Chicago White Sox Rumors". While the Cubs forum had it added to help organized, I figured well...the Sox forum could use some new posters and they might want more activity, I'll add it on there as well for search engine purposes 100%. Apparently this is an issue but...

If you GENUINELY are that upset by this let me know and I'll remove it. And then the only new baseball fans coming to the site for Rumors will be Cubs fans.

No need to act catty or like a female about this. "Rush has other ideas about the site with his new staff guys"...really? lol. Has nothing to do with them at all.

I'm just giving feedback on the changes I see.

Most of them are great, this one, not so much.

I would like to see your reply after I gave my reasoning so please let me know if you still feel the same way.

What about WSI? Or do you get banned on the spot over there? I've heard how crappy it is.

If a Mod would like to title thread "rumor" or something along those lines, I'd be fine with that, but I really don't want to click extra to find out what could be going on with the Cubs.

I still hold the belief that can be an MLB discussion forum, linked on both the White Sox and Cubs forums as the same subforum would be successful.

I don't know how you would do it but having a mlb subforum in each of the cubs and white sox forum that linked to the same place would be a great idea imo. I'm indifferent to the new rumor forums. I think the content in the forum will be far more influential in keeping ppl once they get here than layout, and rush I think gave a solid reason to have them for the purpose of driving more traffic to the site.

This is a great idea if feasible.
