YESSIR

Get yer eyes up!!!



frick Bryan.

Alright, this thread might have potential.

Who has had and will have the better team? Bryan or Consol? I know Bryan is much older, so you have to take that into account.

Go.

frick Consol?

Correct. Might as well throw in LSU while you're at it.

Personally, If I had to choose, I would go for Bryan. I have a lot of buddies from Bryan, and I cant really think of anyone but an ex gf that went to Consol.

frick Consol!

I understand this community is growing. And I appreciate the sentiment to this thread and love the B/CS rivalry it's turned into. But there are a few basics to follow here on tArk that make it go

1) have descriptive thread titles. Obviously Yessir means it's a new commit. But with 25 or so per year, there end up being a ton of threads which we have no idea what they are for. Is it new? Is it just bumped? It's really a bad thread title

2) that said, the thread itself is unnecessary. We have an ongoing recruiting thread at the top to keep there from being a ton of new threads covering the same topics. Each event doesn't require a new thread.

Respecting these two keeps the board cleaner and easier to read, making it a better community imo. Here are a list of Chicken's rules for TD

If you want your thread to survive, add substance and info to your subject. If you have a question, ask it in the subject. If you want to state an opinion or observation, make it "headline-like" and put as much info as you can in the subject so the reader knows exactly what your thread is about without clicking on the thread.

Important: Don't force readers to have to click the thread to know what it is about.

Here are some of the main reasons for anchored threads:

1. The subject of the thread is too short and not descriptive enough. We often see users just put one word or sometimes two words. Even 3-4 words can be too short. These are immediately anchored. Again, be descriptive. The subject should contain the point of your thread.

2. The subject of the thread is cut off. This is a problem that has been popping up a lot lately. A user will post a subject such as:

"The key to winning the game is..."

or

"I am about to get torn to shreds but I think that"

For whatever reasons, the user cut the subject off and is requiring that the reader click on the thread to find out what the point of the thread is. We would rather the main idea of the thread to be inside the subject.

3. THE SUBJECT OR POST IS IN ALL CAPS. These are immediately anchored. All caps are hard to read and comes across as shouting.

4. There is already a thread on the info that you are posting. This is self-explanatory. We don't need 10 threads on the board announcing what Robert Smith just said about LSU. We usually keep the thread with the best subject, and anchor/delete the repeat threads.

5. The topic has been beaten to death. Sometimes, topics have run their course and need to just fade away.

6. A thread has gone off topic. If the replies inside a thread have nothing to do with the main idea in the subject, we often anchor.
