TheDirtyWordII 3,394 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 For instance, a question about moving up and trading for Derrick Brown is at least a good conversational topic. But it gets moved to AFMB Siberia where the Top 3 topics were responded to 20 minutes, 2 hours and then 11 hours ago Its the off-season...Falcons fans talk about Free Agency and the Draft. I know the answer back from the mods is ‘there’s a place for that...’, but no one congregates there. Am I the only one that feels this way? citsalp, Vandy, caponine and 11 others 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caponine 6,586 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 No they do this all the time and I have no idea why , you're dmned if you do , dmned if you dont. You post something constructive like future draft picks or FA and it moves but when you post something they deem bad , they delete or move it. You cant win with them tbh , there should be no reason for.moving threads in the off season, when nothing is going on at all. AUTiger7222 and XXVIII-III 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strictly TATF stuff. Any peep of a non falcon and to AFMB Narnia it goes. I guess it got started when all those threads about how garbage vic Beasley is started popping up.

1989Fan 15,412 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I checked page 1 and it seems like all were moved to appropriate sub forums? Trading up in the draft for a particular prospect seems like a draft and FA topic. maybe just PM a mod, since this thread (to your point) will be deleted. caponine and ya_boi_j 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed but I agree with the op point as well, when its moved, not many people check the forums. They only check TATF. That's not a knock on anybody, just that when something is out of sight.

Smiler11 6,204 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I don't mind it if we direct all draft chat to the appropriate forum, but people aren't going there because most of the draft chatter is happening on this forum. It should be an all or nothing type thing. A-TowN.- and Cole World 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Dog Named Brian 3,731 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I personally like that topics are being better managed now, we have sub forums for a purpose. Sometimes this main forum gets a little too noisy with all the draft and free agent news in the offseason. I come to this forum for Falcon’s news, not 32 different potential player breakdowns. The fun part is when most of y’all get in your feelings and go full on white knight for a draftee papachaz, ya_boi_j and SavvyFalcon89 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheDirtyWordII 3,394 Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 But to add...if you’re talking about a FA or Draft prospect in terms of fit with the Falcons, aren’t you talking about the Falcons? I mean, talking about the Falcons and the Draft & Free Agency aren’t mutually exclusive...right? Vandy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh...technically. Just seems counter productive to stifle conversation about the Falcons because this time of year is about looking to the future. From my POV...talking about the plans of the Falcons, whether it be hypothetical or actual news IS talking about the Falcons. ...if the dividing line can only be justified because of a technicality...

Technically was just me returning the smart *** vibe to you. End of the day, who you think or want to be a Falcon doesn’t make it official Falcons news.

Like I said earlier, it isn’t the mods fault you guys choose not to visit sub forums outside of TATF There is such a thing as official/unofficial Falcons news? I’d always thought this place was to converse/exchange with other Falcons fans about the Falcons. Ideas, thoughts, possibilities were part of that spectrum...I guess what you would call ‘unofficial’. Perhaps I’m alone in that sentiment. To funnel those to a virtual area no one really visits seems a poor use of rules/regulations. Charles Wright and Vandy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
