Wow, there hasn't been this much hassle on these forums for ages.
Now before anybody goes deleting this posting for being in the wrong forum, lets think about it.
If an organiser of a tournament decides to announce his event in "tournaments" , and after many postings it is "threadjacked" is it to be deleted ?
If a player from a tournament wants to thank the organisers for the event etc, should they post it in announcements, do a new thread in "tournaments" or, the other option, add a new posting to the original thread ( which may be 2 weeks out of date, and contain many other postings which would be irrelevant at the time ).
Tournament players read tournament, rec ballers read rec ball, people with stuff they want to buy or sell read classifieds.
If people don't know where to post, give them more options such as www.completepaintball.com/bbs
If you guys are sure what people want, why not post a poll as to what people want. I am sure it is within your power.
This is not a dig, but you may be surprised by the results.
P'D Off
P S You say that you are getting more members each month, but how many members do you lose ? Just a thought, as my local cable company used to advertise that a certain amount of people a day joined them. They forgot to mention that more than that amount a day were leaving them. They are now in financial difficulty.
P P S How come that this new hard line has not been enforced in other forums ? Plenty of thread jacking and irrelevant posts elsewhere !
