I hate the setup of the Sports Zone....it is too unorganized.

I wish it was broken up into

NBA
MLB
NHL
College Sports
Other

I agree to a certain extent. But I just think it gets too cluttered when you have a different forum for all the things you listed.

If I had a vote, I'd vote to leave it like it is.

It gets a lot of traffic that way.

This board utilizes its "other boards" better than almost any message board i've ever seen.

Just for my edification, could you elaborate on that? Seriously, I'd like to know more specifically what you mean.:)

It gets more traffic on its boards like Off-topic, Sports Zone, NFL Zone, Political Zone, and all there others Zones better than any other message board i've been on.

Most message boards have a great Main Board (which would be the Fan Zone Forum here) and thats about it.

I can post something not on the main forum and get a reply in a few minutes. Other boards you may not get a reply for hours or even days because people just dont check them.

I can agree with that. But I think it's more a result of just the volume of traffic this place gets. This is BY FAR the most trafficed message board I participate in. In here, it's a slow time if only 500 registered users are online. On most of my other boards, it's a busy time if 50 users are online at any one time.

Im an Admin on another Cowboys board known as The Ranch.

Our main board is very similar to this board. We get tons of traffic on the main page.

We just dont get near the traffic on our off-topic forums and such because people just don't use them.

Can I join over there? I could bring some traffic to your OT forum, that's for sure. That's 95% of what I do here.

There are members of the staff who already think the Zone has too many sub-forums. I doubt something like that would happen.

The only forum that might get a hit is the College Zone. The staff has talked on and off about that for awhile, it just never gets any traction. This forum has a few dedicated viewers and participants, but not to speak out of turn, I think it's one of the least traffic'd forums on the Zone.

But who knows, things can always change and we add another forum.

I think another reason this place gets good traffic on its sub-forums is because they're all named and clearly defined as "Zones."

I.E.

Political ZONE
Sports ZONE

etc...

On a lot of other forums, you don't always get them so clearly defined and the descriptions can be somewhat confusing to the uninitiated.

I just wish they'd do an invite only invisible Adult Zone. So some issues can be discussed with a more adult tone and language. But that ain't happening and I can respect that too.
