Pre-Game Talk: New thread ideas?

[kingsboy11]

With the new season about to get under way, I'm about to refresh the forum so we can start the new year with fresh threads. But I've been thinking about it recently and wondering if there were any new thread ideas people might have because sometimes conversations tend to overlap in our Around the League and Roster Discussion threads and thinking it might be better to have more specific threads.

As an example, we talk about former players a lot like Faber, Vilardi etc, so I was thinking a thread discussing former players/prospects. Or maybe a thread specifically around Luc and Blake or the front office in general since we talk about them a lot as well.

Also if anyone has any ideas about improving the GDT's or any suggestions you can put that here as well.

We could start a poll on what planet would you send Luc and Blake to in a space X rocket? That might be fun.

Maybe a Bluc venting thread - all the venom and deserved criticism in (mostly) one place.

 

[Statto]

Maybe have a development thread to discuss the specific development paths/decisions for the players. We discuss and argue about it frequently so having a separate thread might be good.

Keep the Reign thread, prospect and the general threads. A ‘former players’ thread is a good idea.

Is it possible to have a subsection for GDT’s, so they are grouped together?

Maybe split the ‘around the league’ into East/West?

SpaceX rocket? Make them fly Boeing so they can't come back.

a thread about the 3 or 4 shit commercials on repeat the entire season.

Last year's were
- The IED found me before I found it and not I run marathons

- I challenged Victor to meet me halfway

And the commercial with Common about Black Americans and lung cancer and the tobacco industry

and a shoutout to the old classics:
Happy fun land
and "au chante" that's french

For sure a BLuc thread.. Former players not a bad idea either.. and maybe a state tax thread moderated by @Brownie to Pancakes

Only if I can ban all participants therein

lol

 

[Kingspiracy]

Perhaps we could use a fight card thread, since we've signed a couple of aggresive players. linking scraps and big hits

 

[MonkeysUncle]

How about a "Is time for ownership to sell team to a owner that would be more involved and where the team is a top priority and not in log book "

 

[bland]

Please don't dump the old threads, the I told you so's are priceless.

 

[Bandit]

“All BLUC’s f***ups, part 3,567”

 

[Lt Dan]

How about a thread where we talk about our pets

Those Obama-era DirecTV commercials were fun. My favorite:



On a "serious" note: how about a catch-all thread for bitching about discussing the media/business ops/marketing/in-arena aspects of the team?

You've missed a couple of big ones, as you will admit in shame by looking at my avatar.

 

[Ghetty Green]

This thread is needed but lol at the irony of the first 2 posts smh

 

[KingsCrunch]

This thread is the reason more fans will never join here. It is like a bitch fest of why Oprah never delivered you a car for you and car for you everyone a car for you.

The amount of depressants you take as a group must be pretty impressive.

We should have a ‘take thread’… were we can save predictions, bad takes etc. That way the stupid claims and predictions people make are easy to find. So for example my quote saying Lizotte should be dumped (after his first season). Thats the only one I’m prepared to admit to… don’t mention Cal Petersen….

Well done -- you literally described 95% of online fan boards. The remaining 5% that are not...well just give it 6-18 months and it'll move in that direction. If you are looking for 100% SpongeBob positivity, then it's pretty obvious the internet (or even fans in general) is not the place to find it. Sports fandom is mostly pain -- has always been and will remain so. That's reality.
If you want pretty unicorns and rainbows, i'm sure there's a soccer mom or book club group available nearby.

acting like message boards haven't been a dead platform for the better part of a decade

Its not that deep and I expected there to be some attempts at humorous potential threads even though I would prefer some more serious takes.


So for the permanent threads we have:
General roster Discussion
Around the League
Reign
CHL/NCAA/ European prospects thread

Potential new threads:
Former Kings
General development
BLuc thread

I'll leave this open for a couple more days incase anyone has any other ideas
