Do you want the Fan Zone and Daily Zone forums combined?
We would like to know if you want the Fan Zone and Daily Zone combined into one forum? The new forum would be called the Fan Zone.
Keep in mind that we have relaxed our thread moving policies to the Daily Zone somewhat due to the mad rush of news related threads since the lockout ended.
Our normal policy would be to move those kinds of threads to the Daily Zone almost immediately which means the Fan Zone would be primarily for only fan created discussions and the Daily Zone for snippets and summaries of articles, recaps, tweets, etc. from other news sources.

No. Keep it the way it is. We changed it for good reasons.
PS: You could make this into a poll.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

Yes.. I never check the Daily Zone.
Some good articles go unnoticed because I bet a lot of people don't visit that section often either.

I like the idea of coming to one forum for all news and fan created discussions. Combining the two would be a great idea. And I don't mind tweets like some posters do. The more news/rumors/recaps etc., the better.

I hated it when it was split up at first but I actually think it was a good idea looking back on it.
Just leave it the way it is.

Another yes vote. I never liked the idea of spliting them in the first place. In additon it is more busy work for the mods.

No. I think you have a good thing going with the split forums. The reason being you have too many fan rambling threads that would push the news off the first page.

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

agreed.
I like that the news is separate from the conversational threads. Sometimes there are so many silly threads (like yesterday) going that threads with substance drop off.
If I've been away from the forum for a while, I know where to go to catch up on Cowboys' news....the Daily Zone. And then I don't have to wade through fodder for the substance.

I can't tell you the last time I went to the Daily Zone except by accident. I'm sure there's information I've missed, but I'm not going to navigate two separate forums and if there's something worth discussing it's probably in the Fan Zone.

I never look at the daily zone, if it was in the fan zone the topics I probably would.
Or atleast rename it, daily zone sounds stupid, passible, probably gets much less views than Fan Zone, im confident it does. Call it Hot News zone, or Daily News zone atleast, something along those lines.

I think it's unfortunate that the actual legit NEWS sources are not kept seperate from the
FanBlog
BeatBlog
TweetBlogs
If hope that the legit national stuff can keep being seperate from the tweets and mundane blog content.
I enjoy going to the Daily Zone to see actual articles from Peter King and Mosley and CBSSPORTS/FOXSPORTS writers etc.
The little fan stuff I feel, is fine in the Fan Zone. Hence the name, I thought.
Coordinated organization is a GOOD thing btw. You know where to go for legit articles and you know where to go for discussion and blog info and tweet info.
I've got a prayer on my desk. It says, "Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure."

I never check the daily zone. Keep it simple and in one spot. If it’s a good opinion/article it will stay on the top.
