New Board implementation FLAW!!

[DOUGGRAY]

The problem here is the execution of how this new board is implemented and not really how the board functions.

Here are a the implementation problems...

1. You should not be allowed to post on 2 boards, confusion will cause fustration which leads to pissed off customers. What else is new though, I guess we are just too picky ?

2. Too much effort into "Blogs" and other personal crap that doesnt improve the games we play actually. TSN spent time and money on what??? There are so many problems that need to be addressed that the FLUFF is not needed. Great games keep customers NOT personalized BS on a board. Private Topics is very confusing also and that was a very important part of the old board. TSN miss many CORE components which shows me they simply never understood the function of the old boards, very disappointing.

3. Lack of understanding of the SOM community which relies a lot on a very good and deep community board. Keeper leagues, discussion, player information that has been posted for years will soon be gone. Companies do not remove history they find away to port it to the new application. TSN should have spent time on this alone instead of the freaking FLUFF!!!

Much agreed Penn.

What I am finding to be the biggest issue right now is the PM system. For some reason I have been unable to figure out how to send a group PM. If I am missing it, then it is not obvious enough and needs to be more easily accessible. If it is not able to be done, then that is absolutely horrendous.

On the blogs, etc.... what a complete waste of space. Not only would I not use it, I will NEVER read someone elses. Frankly, knowing this community, my thoughts are extremely likely to echo that of 99% of us.

...close all topics on the old board and keep it active for archival purposes only?

Let's keep Penngray's rantings and responses on this thread. As far as specific problems with private messaging, let's put them on a thread in the "Beta Feedback" section, so that Larry and the boys will see it: [url=http://forums-beta.sportingnews.com/viewtopic.php?t=14226]Thread about Private Message[/url]

Is there a search function somewhere on these boards that i'm missing? That's my only complaint about these new boards but i'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it here.

And PBTR post about leaving the old boards for research only without being able to post makes perfect sense.
