So this isn't to prevent villain from finding HH discussions about their play (which was my first thought), but more to cultivate better strat posts?

+1 for not allowing names in strat threads and also for a reg thread subforum. for example the ap/ub/cake/prima/etc -thread is mainly used by cake players, so finding information about prima for instance is pretty difficult. with a dedicated subforum a larger amount of threads could be made (one for every network).

if someone very opposed to a subforum (or at least someone who has considered it and could imagine some negatives) could take a stab, that would be great

we can definitely look into this if the interest is there

devils advocate, but well a lot of people just go straight to the regs threads/cheese/life so if they're in a subforum they would miss interesting strat threads (where only a catchy title draws them in).

side note: badly titled threads should get infractions/bans.

I don't really have any suggestions that seem obvious to me. GG guys.

ok i'll try. the subforum split in software was crap and just caused you to have to click more buttons to get to what you want. there is definitely something to be said for just keeping everything in the one place and the blend of threads might be better than a whole page of strat posts (yawn). also what happens the cheese thread? i kind of associate that with the regs threads.


sorry that wasn't greatly convincing cos i like the idea of the subforum too.

the argument that people would read less strat posts because the other threads are in a sub-forum seems silly to me because you can pretty much already do this using the thread subscriptions. there are weeks where i don't even look at SSNL and only look at my subscriptions page and see which of the regs threads/cheese thread/life thread has new posts.

the point of the sub-forum is to remove clutter from the strategy forum when i'm actually interested in replying to some strat posts. for me its more difficult to try and find some good strategy threads when every other thread on the first page looks like:

****OFFICIAL xxxxxxxxxxxxx THREAD********

it also lets more actual strategy threads remain on the first page. i know you were just playing devil's advocate just want to throw my 2 cents in.

lol i didnt know you could subscribe to threads

When threads like this generate the most traffic, there's something wrong with this forum.

as for the forum stuff, I have a suggestion that's very standard on programming forums, but I don't really know if this particular forum can support it.

in microsoft's forums, for example, there's an option for the poster of the question to select the 'best answer' or for other users to suggest it as the best answer which marks it in green for 'confirmed best', yellow for 'suggested best', etc.
