Jake Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm down to do whatever. I've enjoyed the conversation with Soxtalkers on basketball and I'd love to see it grow, be easier to navigate, and get more posters involved. I've offered plenty of input as to how that could be done, and I'm happy to post my tail off wherever as long as I'm not alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 There are only 4-5 real threads that get any action in the SportsBar...why not just have Bulls and Bears threads and then general NBA and NFL threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've thought about it but it would have to be a subforum of Soxtalk, which might involve a burden of work to bring in a new subforum that has a separate layout, etc. not to mention informing everyone at TalkBulls that they must reregister at SoxTalk. Not sure if all those things are possible, though I'd like for them to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Hell, I'm the mod of "Bulls Talk" and I haven't logged in for like 2 months. I used to check it daily (even if I didn't post), but gave up when Balta was just talking to himself (like he referenced earlier in this thread), haha.\ Oh, and yes, I'm down for a re-launch.

southsider2k5 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ok, it seems we are getting a group of people here which is good. My idea was to target the week of the draft (June 28) as the "big" week. In between now, I think we need to look at finding all of our Bulls fan friends and targeting them to join the site. We also need to put together facebook and twitter pages for the site, and recruit that way putting up content based items to draw people to the board's discussions.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Eliminate the nba and nfl thread here on soxtalk. This would force people here to go to talkbulls and talkbears. Have a catch all for the respected sport on those boards. Boom problem solved, A and J's can be kept for things like hockey, golf, wrestling, mma etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it has to be is a different subforum. IPS should allow for different formatting depending on the board you are on (so just paint everything red and replace Konerko with Rose). Then all you would need is to redirect the domain name (which ST already owns) to that subforum, which is extremely easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all you would need is to redirect the domain name (which ST already owns) to that subforum, which is extremely easy. Wouldn't it need to be a separate forum? You can't just change the entire color scheme of a message board for every subforum. The only solution would be to take the entire member profile history of Soxtalk and copy it over to each of the "talk" sites. Even then, you'd still have to continually log-in every time you visit - as the forum cookies would cancel each other out continually.

Balta1701 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Problem with attempting that is that Talkbears is actually a functioning, independent site, and a lot of those posters were dragged to our site after their website closed...so closing them down and dragging them here would probably lose a fair amount of those members from that area.

Yeah, that website will probably have to be left separate. Maybe make an outside link down where that forum would be. Perhaps you could set up a poll or something at TalkBears to feel out if they'd like to be integrated. I'm not sure if they will or wont. I sure wouldn't force them into it.
