Housekeeping
Not sure what else to call this - but let’s make this a catch all thread for ideas on how we run things.
I really don’t like the new setup where we are posting individual threads two weeks early - 1989 eligibles as we start the 1988 discussion for example.
I like the idea of starting the discussion early . . . but I don’t like how all of the new threads bump off of hot topics the guys that are actually coming up for election this year. This is a major issue for me.
One - do others agree, or I am off base?
Two - if others agree, how is this for a suggestion. We post the 1989 discussion thread at the start of 1988, and agree to use that to discuss the new eligibles only for the first week on that thread. Then the individual threads will go up when we are up to 1989, and anything really good from the discussion can be moved to the individual thread as appropriate.
This would allow us to keep the focus on the people that are actually coming up that week, while allowing for a head start on the other guys.
I’m open to other ideas too, but the main thing is that I’m not in love with this new setup.

One can always use the handy bookmarking system to peg a thread one wants to watch.
So in the end, this is just a pointless thread cluttering up the Hot Topics section. People should ignore it.
Of course it isn't. Nothing on this website is rocket science. But it is a pain in the ass. That's the problem.
And the bookmarking gets cluttered up to easily also.
When John creates the yearly discussion thread could he use the candidate list to link to the individual player threads? That way the only thread that would need to be bumped would be the discussion thread, which provides access to the various candidate discussion without clogging a thread with copied arguments.
That's just too much work for me for something that's a luxury. But if someone wants to take care of it, that's fine by me.
I've never had a problem.
I happen to agree, Mark. I usually find a player thread takes no longer than 15 seconds to locate. As long as you know where the player thread is located (19th century players, 20th century players, NeLers, and Cuban Stars), it's easy, IMO.

Do we have major objections over this? If not, I can post the '89 thread tomorrow.

I think that's a good compromise.
