Suggestion: Create Subforum for Competition Predictions

[serenagh]

I've really enjoyed seeing and reading the event prediction threads this year, especially those for events and teams I know less well. The creators have clearly put in a lot of time and effort, and I actively seek them out when I browse Chief, because they're always so fun to read. Shout-out and much thanks to the writers. To be clear, these include Looking Forward, NEforcast, CHS Platter, INSight, and so on. Currently, each of these threads is posted in the general forum.

Now, for the suggestion -- it seems to me that these threads deserve their own sub-forum. Probably under the competitions tab, but scrolling through, they don't seem to quite fit within the existing categories. This seems to be the purpose for sub forums -- they'd allow me to just check that sub forum, and have everything organized, archived, and in one place, but still allow the forecasts to appear on the main page.



Thoughts?

I like this idea.

NEforecast predicts this proposal will be quite helpful.

I think this is a great suggestion! Especially with the introduction of the weekly Chairman's predictions that CadandCookies has been publishing this season. Having them all grouped together would be much easier to browse.

We think this is a grate idea.

I agree, it's a grate idea! But all these cheesy puns ... we should just let them brie.

This entire thread is a muenstrosity. Curd we please stop the cheese puns?

Actually on topic though, I think a subforum for predictions is a good idea.

+15 thread derailment points

but in all seriousness I do support a subforum for predictions accounts

[serenagh]

Thanks for all the responses- let's keep the support coming! Cheese puns aside, (though I've definitely been amused by them), I have a couple of questions I want to throw out there, to give this thread slightly more purpose than cheese and agreement (though I like both those things).

1. What would we title the sub forum? "Predictions" seems to fit/be obvious, but things like FUN's "Top 25" and might also fit within this forum nicely -- what belongs? What doesn't? How do we best ensure the category fits?

2. Who's responsible for the addition/creation of sub forums? Is this the moderators? Someone else?

This idea seems quite insightful.
