Let's review the idea of team boards...

[Ghost In The Machine]

I don't think we have a glut of threads on the main board at this point and I like hearing about the issues of the Flames, the Kings, the Rangers, or whatever team fan is posting on them. I probably won't go look at 30 different boards to find those if there are team boards and they would take away from useful hockey-related threads from the main board in the process, meaning the main board will be a lot more OT/joke stuff, and a lot less good discussion and content.

I think you need a critical mass of content to keep a board interesting and team boards would take away some from that critical mass. I think we all know the other posters who are fans of our favorite team and keep an eye out for their posts and stuff on our own teams anyway.

Besides, I think the team boards would be mostly dormant save a few teams on there.

So to sum up:

PROS: Useful team boards for a handful of teams
CONS: More work for SportsHoopla Hockey, less hockey content on the main board, more work for posters to find content, more boards for the mods to have to patrol, less sense of community

Until you reach a point where the main board has so much content it is difficult to parse through it and find what you need, I don't think team boards are very useful. Until we consistently have 50+ posters online (we typically have 10-20 at present), I don't think we are at that point.

That's my two cents.

Great post.

We'll keep it the way it is until we all feel the need.

Thanks, everybody.

Meh. I don't see the need for it right now. Maybe bring it up later and then vote again.
