Moving In-State Rivals Forum

Do most not use the new posts feature? To me, it is better than the front page. Even if every thread is listed.

There are 22 items listed in the "Forum Index." I think there will still be plenty of topics for the front page. I like HGPuck's idea.

For me if I'm on my home computer I usually go to the Today's Post feature and if I am someplace else I usually just am quick checking and don't log on, so I look and read threads off the front page.

Edit: To maybe answer the underlying question better, I think a lot of the people that flame on threads don't use many of the site features to find posts besides the front page.

I'm down with the plan.

Excellent idea.

Hawk fan postings should be limited to the In State Rivals threads. All other attempts should directly link them to "Hawkeye Nation" .

I agree - If you want irritation, you'll know where to get it.

I tend towards the front page, because I'm used to it.

I'd rather keep the in-state rivals on the front page. I wouldn't want to move too many things off of that page.

DJK15, this thread is about the In State Rivals forum, not about how Hawk fans cheer for their quarterbacks in Kinnick.

Isn't it good to get more traffic? Wouldn't make sense to me.

Once again we witness the tyranny of the majority. First the political cave, then gaming, now this. Oh well, as long as you don't throw those silly bastards in the cave with us, it's all good.

Much like the Games & Groups and the Politics/Religions forums I like to read it sometimes, but by their nature they get a lot of posts and are on the front page a lot. Also, I think we would get less flame posts if it wasn't on the front page. Just a suggestion. And if I opened this can of worms, I don't think the front page should be restricted to just Cyclone content but I think Games, Politics, and In-State Rivals are good things to not have on the front page. And I also know that you don't have to open threads if you don't like it or want to read it.

I agree.
