Guys - why is the Niasse discussion about him as a Town player being moved to the Transfer Rumours board?
It makes no sense. And why is it arbitrary, the interesting discussion about Yaya, AFTER HE SIGNED, was started and remained in the ToTT board, without being kicked off to the Rumours board.
If we want to have a discussion about Schindler or Campbell or any other player who hasn't always been with Town, should that be started on the transfer rumours board too?
I fully understand the reasoning for separating off a Rumours board, it makes sense, and I like many others pretty much never visit it - as we're only really interested in discussing actual Town players, but it seems ridiculous to have to visit the rumours board for discussing ACTUAL Town (not 'rumoured') players!
I've heard the justification, "just click the Recent Threads' button and you won't miss it. But that only benefits those people who want to sift through Town stuff and Rumours stuff and all the other Off Topic and Politics crap that are mingled in.
Please keep the rumours board for what it is, or rename it as "board to discuss footballers, some of whom might be current Town players and some who are rumoured to be". Thanks.

Did one of us merge some posts? PM me and we can discuss it.
It's a fine line. As long as people are still posting on the Transfer Rumours board under a particular player (e.g. Oamar Niasse)... all gravitate to that thread. If a thread is then replicated on TotT, similar discussions regarding that player are spread across two threads.
We were waiting for this last transfer to go through and when the Niasse thread quietens down, we can put the Jan transfer thread 20/21 in the archive. Any further threads regarding Niasse will then appear on TotT.

Yes, one of you did merge posts.
No need to PM, all the points I want to make are above - feel free to ignore or take on board, its your forum to administrate as you see fit.

It's been brought up before on a few occasions and totally ignored. I wouldn't waste your time. |

I have now taken to using the 'Recent Threads' feature, which I didn't know was available, previously. However, the subdivisions of the board could do with having a bit more rhyme or reason behind it. Surely, once a player signs, either the thread could be moved to TOTT (and perhaps 'confirmed', added to the title), from Transfer Rumours, or else the thread on the Rumours board locked, and a new one started (possibly by an admin) on TOTT. Certainly, if Niasse scores on his debut, we shouldn't have to discuss it on the Rumours board.
Having said that, given that Niasse has been a bit more than a rumour for a while - on trial, awaiting work permit or whatever, maybe it should have been on TOTT earlier. Presumably the subdivision is partly motivated by not wanting to have lots of 'Kevin Phillips' style threads on TOTT.

To me the whole site is wrong. There should be Talk of The Town and then Off Topic only, surely that's all that is needed? Why do we have sub boards, and worst still, sub sub boards?
Transfers are 'Talk of the Town', including all of the rumours that go with them. Not a fan of these massive threads either. Over 100 pages on youth players, 32 on ex players and then they're stickied at the top of the main board too, so you have to scroll past them each time you view. Are they really that important? If the topic is current and there is something new to discuss then it should just be discussed without having to dredge up an old thread from months ago. People that aren't familiar with that certain thread have to wade through countless pages of old posts or work their way backwards just to see what the latest news is.
The worst one for me is 'Todays games'. If you don't keep up with it for a while then you click the 'New' tab you can end up reading about games that happened 2 or three weeks ago and you're about 8 pages behind where you're wanting to actually read from.
I agree with merging things if it's been discussed in two separate threads but that's all that i think needs to be done. If a topic isn't interesting it will fall down the board and disappear, whereas the good ones will stick around at the top, it's a much simpler way of viewing and surely a much simpler way for the admins to control it too as they would barely have to do anything.
Maybe I'm in the minority, just seems overcomplicated to me.

Why would you regularly go on the transfer rumours board 2 months after transfer deadline day and 3 months before the new one opens? On the off chance we sign someone out of contract? It’s natural to assume that one had died a death. There’s no logic to the format of this board whatsoever. |

Agreed. Most people won't be aware that Niasse has signed due to the window closing nearly two months ago. Most people wouldn't even think to look on the Transfer rumours sub-board at this stage of the season. Just leave the post on the main board where people can actually see it, it'll drop away eventually with no harm done to the main board.

I thought it was widely regarded that a considerable portion of us are of ‘a certain age’ and aren’t sad enough to have their lives run by social media 24 hours a day. I do Facebook but none of the others you mention but it still relies on someone to put something on there regarding Town news. Its a good job Facebook don’t suddenly shift stuff somewhere else when they don’t consider it relevant. |

I remember last summer when the admins brought in this new way of running the board and organising the threads. I can’t be bothered to check which admin, but one said they made the change based on a vote. But.. the vote was between the two of them. Incredible. What chance have we got? I used to come on here several times a day - now it’s usually just once or twice, depending on if I’ve commented on any threads. Where is the third admin and what has he/she done since being appointed? But, it’s their Friday night just as much as it’s ours, so that’s my moaning done and hopefully they ignore it. Just like they usually ignore most people who have a whinge. |

Would the world really end if there are two threads in existence about a new player on two separate boards?
I understand the need to merge multiple threads on the same subject into a single one on the same board, but two threads on two different boards? One of which many of us never visit?

Somewhere to go and talk all things football that aren't directly Town related without clogging up the rest of the board. If there's a match on TV you want to talk bollocks about you know exactly where to go. And you don't have to keep up with the thread as its real purpose is for whatever is going on right now. |

What would you like me to do Ricky? Read. Interact. Discipline. Communicate. With all due respect, nothing has changed since you were appointed. You either want to be an admin or you don’t. Unless you want the title of ‘administrator’ but not want the fuss and hassle that comes with it? In which case, why apply in the first place? But as Impact says above, this isn’t anything new. To be fair to you, it’s an issue from before your time. However, there’s no harm in you educating yourself (click on the link in Impact’s message) and seeing if you can make a difference. |

Read the thread Impact. Few differing opinions on there so you’ll have to be more specific - and let me know if this is a consensus across the entire board, for obvious reasons we would be endlessly tweaking the format to appease people who I believe didn’t even throw their hat into the ring to be an admin. Aren’t being a “clever dick” by the way, just there’s a lot of suggestions. Who’s are the best ? |

Whenever I come onto DATM the first thing I see in big bold letters is the word “NEW” in the Talk of the Town board, the transfer board or the off topic board. If it doesn’t say “NEW” that means there are no new posts since I last looked. Pretty easy to understand I’d have thought.

I agree with Impact. Brought in if I recall as there were multiple threads on games taking place on different days, so every match day/night a new thread was started, and it all got very messy. It's perfect as it is, if you want to discuss the latest round of matches it's the last one. Prediction League still very popular, and that rightly still deserves its own board. Could do with more participating in it though. Canuckterrier does a cracking job with running it. |

So, please take this in the spirit with which it’s intended. Just being honest! I don’t know what transformation you were expecting me to bring to the table mate. I am here to lighten the load as I’ve frequented the site so much over the years. I don’t post much, at all. Haven’t done for years but always lurked. Despite being on here so long and seeing the frequent names and posters, posts..... You genuinely don’t realise how much traffic there is in reported posts alone. How many little tiffs, spats, delicate souls and “snitching” goes on genuinely amazed me. I’m sure it would you too. New posters have to be verified, IP addresses validated - all easy enough but stuff you don’t see or do or even have to consider. And then there’s the fact we don’t physically speak to each other. So any decision that requires all of us to “Vote” on is at the behest of our personal lives allowing us to look and act. I’ve not moved anything since I started. Nothing. I’ve not seen anything to move as yet. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places? Also I find it’s harder to moderate unless you’ve got a mouse and keyboard. There is no admin “app” and you have to keep logged on to the sites desktop version to gain access to any admin functionality. Consequently I do a lot via mobile and iPad when I’m not “working” office hours. I’m actually sat in the bath as I type this 😁 In my personal opinion... I’ll listen to new and better ideas all day long. But asking us to proactively do all of the above and get together to implement improvements seems a stretch particularly when so little of “this lot” are interested in moderating it themselves. Branded “idiotic” and other choice phrases I’ve seen and a set of instructions TO DO is also not endearing. I’ve not discussed this with other admins so they are free to chastise me accordingly, but if you want change and are clearly passionate about this board and it’s role... Scalp some of the ideas on the thread Impact listed and put it to a vote in a poll and let the people decide. There’s a lot of traffic on this site, more than I imagined or considered. Very few have put any ideas forward by comparison. So whilst you have a voice which I encourage you to use, you’ve got to remember there’s significant numbers of people who don’t care and just browse. Don’t even log on and just browse... They’re doing that without complaint or issue. 👍 |

Aren’t being a “clever dick” by the way, just there’s a lot of suggestions. Who’s are the best ? When a player signs or is sold it isn't a rumour, it has happened. There is no reason to lock and/or move threads from the main board to the rumours board. A lot of people agreed with the OP on that thread as shown by the likes. Eg when Hamer left there were a couple of threads from weeks before about his performances. Because someone dared mention that he'd been sold on them they were immediately locked. There's no reason to. All it does is mean another thread will get started by someone else. If I didn't have twitter I wouldn't have known Niasse had signed. As others said even if you liked the rumours board who's checking that in mid-March? If a thread has been made and moved then it's another pointless exercise that stifles debate rather than encouraging it. I personally don't see the need for a whole new board for transfers - there was nothing wrong with just having a sub-board in TOTT or leaving it in TOTT itself - but I'll ignore that for now for the main point. |

If it doesn’t say “NEW” that means there are no new posts since I last looked. Pretty easy to understand I’d have thought. You are correct for folks like you and me that are "signed in" permantly. But if you just visit occasionally and are not, you don't get the benefit of that feature. |

If a topic isn't interesting it will fall down the board and disappear, whereas the good ones will stick around at the top, it's a much simpler way of viewing and surely a much simpler way for the admins to control it too as they would barely have to do anything. Maybe I'm in the minority, just seems overcomplicated to me. Can't agree on the today's games thread. It's the best thread on the site. Somewhere to go and talk all things football that aren't directly Town related without clogging up the rest of the board. If there's a match on TV you want to talk bollocks about you know exactly where to go. And you don't have to keep up with the thread as its real purpose is for whatever is going on right now. Agree. Please don’t change the today’s games thread. Jesus , why are some people so bloody pedantic. |

Whenever I come onto DATM the first thing I see in big bold letters is the word “NEW” in the Talk of the Town board, the transfer board or the off topic board. If it doesn’t say “NEW” that means there are no new posts since I last looked. Pretty easy to understand I’d have thought. You are correct for folks like you and me that are "signed in" permantly. But if you just visit occasionally and are not, you don't get the benefit of that feature. So the “occasional “ visitors will have to put up with it - and leave the frequent ones to carry on using something that’s working fine, surely. |
