Drafts being moved out of CC and into games

[Red]

I can't see if this has been discussed elsewhere. I'm not really for or against this but I think drafts bring a lot of people in to CC who then stay for cricket discussion.

Yeah it's a bad idea. Most of the time I join a draft it's because I've been in CC for other reasons. Half the stuff in CC is drafts and splitting the two is going to harm both CC discussions and draft participation.

Those who enjoy being involved in drafts will soon come to terms with the new section.

This, absolutely 100% this

Move that bus*!

* in this instance, bus means draft threads.

Thanks for the clarification. I was very confused at first.

I crave clarity.

Of course it's easy enough for existing drafts, but I pretty much stick to CC and having this subforum will almost certainly mean I don't sign up for drafts that interest me because of the separation.

It won't kill drafts and it won't kill CC, but when you split a subforum in half it hurts the activity on both.

My point is that it'll be detrimental to CC rather than detrimental to drafts. I'm fairly sure drafts keep quite a few people connected in CC.

This isn't meant to be a criticism of a decision, as I know drafts irritate non-drafters. Just a general concern that it'll decrease traffic and conversation in CC.

yeah, this sucks, there was no need for this.

Budget Draft Revised

Hey people, just your friendly* mod checking in with you cos it's the most active draft thread in CC right now. I posted the below in site discussion a few weeks ago and got mostly positive feedback on having a separate subforum for the games - this will also help with personal information...

Welcome to the new CricketWeb Forums

Thanks for the heads up @Howe_zat - will investigate for you and respond back :)

After the survey of opinions we decided that this will be more readable and clear to other users. I will probably post a sticky in the cricket chat forum explaining a few things like this.

Bring drafts back in CC. Down with fascism.

On a side note, Off Topic and the Politics forums are now Members only and don't show to Guests/Search Engine Bots.

If you could also stop them showing to Burgey that would be grand

Seriously though, I like these changes.

Mags the first link has most of the people saying they would prefer it in cc.

Yeah with hardly any cricket action for many months, drafts kept me in CW.

I fail to see why them being a different subforum would make you stop coming.

Thanks @Magrat Garlick , I hadn't seen any of those conversations before today when the threads got moved.

I get that drafts annoy some people in CC and I can understand why. Do think it's worthwhile moving forward seeing whether this has a bad impact on CC engagement, cos it'd be a shame if it did.
