Re: What sticky threads should we have?

It looks to me like you can have multiple boards/forums on this site... what about:

"ComeAllWithin - Quins Chat"
"ComeAllWithin - Useful Info and Rules"
"ComeAllWithin - Rugby Chat"
"ComeAllWithin - Everything Else"
etc...?

So threads/topics can be put into the correct "pot" and then people won't complain about seeing threads about England games, or Women's teams, or whatever the dislike du jour is.

I was about to agree with you at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I actually think this should only be done as a last resort. I've looked at other sites where they have multiple boards, and it looks like while the main boards is generally well used, other "sub boards" are rarely used or even visited, & often wither into nothingness after a while. CAW managed to keep all the threads lively (even the O/T ones). I think as long as we come up with a convention where people can see in the thread title if it's one they don't want to bother with, we can keep it all on one board for now. I suggest starting thread titles with the following:

  • O/T - General non-Rugby related topics
  • Womens - Anything related to the Quins Womens team
  • Internationals - Anything related to international squads
  • Other Clubs - Put the club's name at the start of the thread title

How does that sound?

I'm happy with the O/T type stuff IF it isn't obvious from the title. If the title says "Eddie Jones tells Mike Brown to keep cool" I don't really need an "International: Eddie Jones..." but if it is "Coach in sacking scandal" then if it could help to give people an idea what we're talking about.

I'm not a huge fan of separate boards, I'd rather see everyone mixing it on here. If there is a split it's over the ladies' team, and I think we'll just see how that goes this season. If people really find their enjoyment of the board spoiled by posts about the ladies then maybe a separate board would be a better solution.
