Articles Archive

Postby Melmart1 on Wed May 05, 2004 9:08 pm

OK, hate to b****, but I am not happy with the Articles Archive...<br>
<br>
I went there, and right now, during the playoffs, there was a really good article with only 5 views!!! And often, NO REPLIES!!<br>
<br>
It's like I said in one post, if we wanted to write about Spurs and have nobody see it, we would write in our journals and be done with it...<br>
<br>
We post publically to incite debate and start discussion, not for it to fall on deaf ears (eyes?)...<br>
<br>
Can something be done? <p></p><i></i>

I understand what you are saying. Maybe we can find a way to post one or two of the best ones and leave the rest in the archive. Right now anywhere from ten to twelve articles appear daily about the Spurs. If we post them all it will destroy the flow of the main page. Perhaps we can come up with some type of compromose...... <p></p><i></i>

Articles could initially be posted in the main forum and moved to the articles archive when they are 24 hrs old. Only the newest articles would be up on the main board. The articles deemed most important could be pinned.<br>
<br>
Just a thought. <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/lol.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> never occured to me how 'political-science student' that sounded... <br>
<br>
As for Drew's idea, I think that works pretty good... it's worth a try, at least... gotta be better...<br>
<br>
Also, the word "archive", to me, at least, conjurs up images of old stuff... whereas the articles in our "archive" are actually brand-spanking new... just a thought... <p></p><i></i>

I want Mel to take Michele Tafoya's place on ESPN!<br>
<br>
I personally am trying to visit that forum more often but I, admittedly, get "lazy". One thing that makes an impression is the number of "0's" in the Views column. I guess this will have a bearing on which ones are the best to post. Seeing it's the playoffs I would recommend that more than a couple make the main forum since there are so many articles being published. <p></p><i></i>

I would agree with Drew if there were only one or two articles, but we have had as meny as 10 to 15 per day and it was killing the board, which is why we made the article forum.<br>
<br>
<br>
We could try posting all articles in the archive, and one of the aadministrators can pick the one or two best from that day to host in the main forum. I was hoping people would go to the article forum also - maybe we just need to encourage it more.<br>

I would lose my job the first week for telling Steven A. Smith where to go... But I would be a great sideline reporter... <br>
<br>
Me- Gary, any truth to the rumors your next endorsement deal is going to be as the new oven mitt for Arby's?<br>
<br>
GP- Get my agent! #(*&Q(&!!!<br>
<br>
Me- Shaq, how does it feel to officially be in the 'downhill' phase of your career?<br>
<br>
Shaq- (mumbles something incoherent)...<br>

Would be nice, no? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evillaugh --><img src=http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/evillaugh.gif ALT=":evillaugh"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Maybe Jay Leno would give you a job or even Punked - they like to do stuff like that <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

OK, so did we agree on something? Because today, nothing has changed, and three very good articles have 2 or 3 views each... which means that not even you guys, all the Mods, are viewing them... I know at least one of those two views was me! So, what we doing?<br>

I am open to suggestions as I have said, but no one has responded to my ideas or offered any that would work. Mel maybe I should put you in charge of posting the best article or two or excerpts from them?<br>

Ooh, I like that idea. Have a daily post in the main forum that lists the best articles of the day and gives the highlights of the article. Each one can link to the articles forum if we want to read the whole thing. <p></p><i></i>

That's an excellent idea, Misti!! Have like a daily article digest... snippets of the good stuff with links to the whole article... that might work... I am willing to do some of the footwork, since I work from home... let me know how this sounds... <p></p><i></i>

Ok melymel, I appoint you as the article mistress <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
If you could also search for and post articles, too, that would be great. I used to do that a lot and lately just haven't had hte time to. <p></p><i></i>
