Budget Draft Revised

[Magrat Garlick]

Hey people, just your friendly* mod checking in with you cos it's the most active draft thread in CC right now.

I posted the below in site discussion a few weeks ago and got mostly positive feedback on having a separate subforum for the games - this will also help with personal information sharing and the like. Anyone here want to chime in before the big boss pushes the button?

Any thoughts on organizing subforums?

I'm thinking we should have Forum Games as its own thing and put most of the games/simulation projects in there. We can tag the games to keep in order, or we can put in further subforums.

This idea has now crystallized among the staff team into making Forum Games and Activities a top level forum type, between Cricket Discussion and Ask Cricket Web. For now we're thinking a Cricket Games and Activities and Other Games and Activities; we'll try to have them all displayed when you enter so there can be some cross pollination.

I'll vote for keeping draft games in CC. These are strictly cricket related games.

 

[Teuton]

Fwiw I'd prefer it kept on the cricket chat page too

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah i reckon theyd take more time to fill up participants and also move slower on a sub forum

Strongly in favour of drafts being seperated from CC, lost count of the amount of times I have been looking forward to reading new posts only for it to be about three or four draft threads here and nothing else

 

[mr_mister]

I don't see how removing draft threads will magically result in more interesting threads

Do people really refrain from posting threads coz they dont want to clutter the forum?

Is there an ATG H for #4? If so, mrmr missed a golden opportunity there IMO.

Wouldn't have minded Hammond there. Heh

 

[Line and Length]

Time to "spend" more of my caps. I couldn't believe he was still available but I checked through earlier lists and I'll have Virat Kohli (86 caps, 7240 runs).
