I was wondering if you guys ever thought about making trade talk its own section or forum. I think it would actually make a lot sense. These days the forums are loaded with 80% trade talk that isn't that appealing for some. I mean yeah, we all need a place where we can go for advice, but i just don't think that that should be the one.

I can't imagine what it would be like once the site really blows up. Speaking of which, did you guys do some advertisement or something because we jumped over the 500 members mark in a really short time?

Most people are drafting or trading, tis the season for that. From September on, it’s start/sit with less but some, trading.

Every thread is addressed, what are you looking for more of?

Moved this thread to 'feature requests'


As for the trade help, if we took that topic (trade) out of Dynasty/Redraft, it would really leave those threads with less to talk about. Basically, I've found that this format (the way the forums are organized now) makes the content easy to find. I have had a few people ask for more forums and more specific ones, but frankly, this is working so well and our forum is the most active for the size (563 users), I can't imagine it would work better any other way.

Just title your thread with trade help and the players involved, you will get the clicks and help you need. I know what you're saying, though, we talked about doing what you're suggesting numerous times, so it is a good idea - We just figure that this has to be the best format for the moment, as dynasty and redraft would be empty if we divided everything up, and I like that you're two formats (dynasty and redraft) can at least be sep.

If we do trade help, then we need a trade help dynasty and a trade help redraft, then we have two more forums instead of one. If we don't do the two, then we have redraft and dynasty mixed, etc. As you can imagine, this is the problem we came up with when thinking about this same idea.

Yes Tis is the season for all of us Tav (or should we say off season) and I understand that every thread needs to be addressed but that is not what I'm looking at here. What I'm saying is that think it would make sense to have a separate forum for the trade talk or trade help. The way I see it you've got forums broken down like this Fantasy Talk (Redraft)Fantasy Talk (Dynasty / Keeper)Start & Bench AdviceNFL News & RumorsNFL Draft Central . As you know these are all separated for one reason. It keeps you on the topic and it keeps the forums clean. I could be completely wrong here but I doubt that I'm the only that feels the same way. No matter what time of the season it is I still like my forums clean. Maybe it's my ADD kicking in but it what it is. I'm just making a suggestion as to what I think could benefit all parties.

And it makes sense to create forums within forums, and I think that is what you mean… we will look into this in a bit down the road. I like how simple it is now, but it is all about you guys. We shall see. Just because it's working well doesn't mean it can't still improve, I hear ya.
