The Great Forum Shuffle conversation

[minnesotacubsfan]

Oh lord, I'm here for all of 30 hours and you're bringing the absolute worst out in me.

Give it like 20 years like the rest of us

So, you. Are you in the TC?

Was. Left mpls 14 years ago at the trough of the housing bubble. I'm an architect, hooked up with a firm near Seattle. Been here since

 

But, I'm a golden gopher, undergrad and grad

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The whole ocean tried that and still failed.

I should probably just start preparing myself now for the loss of the Subsilver board option. I've clutched onto it like a safety blanket for years, but it may be time to let go.

What is that? A theme?

Yeah basically. It's an older style that I (and maybe others) strong-armed Tim into keeping around.

 

If you go to your user control panel->Board preferences tab->it's a setting called "My Board Style". There's two choices...prosilver and subsilver.

Oh man, you're giving me flashbacks to my PHPBB days. I remember those theme names, they were wildly popular back in the day. I'm pretty sure I ran a version of ProSilver on BYTO back in the aughts.

Not for long, though. 8-)

Is the new software/forum all text-based and tree-menu looking?

I hope we don't lose all of the hearts Andy has given.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

If we really are planning on increasing traffic and attempting to become relevant in some minor way, I'd only suggest that we have an easily-noticable, obviously antagonistic sub forum for Ricketts-bashing-discussions on the reworked site.

[Derwood]

Having the Game Threads under the minors/college forums is....weird. I know, I know, change is hard, but it's been Cubs/General/Games forever

[Irrelevant Dude]

Agreed.

[Sammy Sofa]

I've been going only to Active Topics for so long, I couldn't pick out the actual layout of the message board with a gun to my head.

[Derwood]

Active Topics is for the weak

Nah, it's just my hot take. Use the forum however you want

Does your software have up and down voting?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Does your software have up and down voting?

I believe it does but I've never enabled it because stuff like that tends to be used maliciously. It has a wider range of reactions available, though, I think I have about five enabled on both TD and BF.

The game threads here are manually started by users. When the team was good, there was a sign-up sheet and a rotation. It was very random on when the threads would get posted based off the designated user's own time. Do you think you can consistently automate the game threads moving forward? Sort of like this bot /r/chicubs: https://www.reddit.com/user/ChiCubsbot/

 

Would be nice to have a box score/stats/scoring plays thrown in as well.

I'm going to investigate this some time during the season. I need to figure out what tools are available to me. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, I just haven't carved out time to do it yet.
