Re: Chuck\'s ready to make a change
 

regulars aren't going to be confused about this.

non-regulars are going to go directly there to post a 'rave' about a movie they just saw, a 'rant' about a neighbor's dog that's shitting in their yard, and that sort of thing. do you want to move all of their posts and explain things to them? people seldom read stickies. i think if something like this is even going to be considered the name should be extremely accurate.

Re: Chuck\'s ready to make a change
 

consider what a difference simply separating internet and casino games would do. each side would have a welcome and defined culture instead of the veteran/whipper-snapper back and forth that is now standard in midhigh.

I feel like this is basically what general is for.

I think adding another "vent" forum is just a moderating nightmare.

I think the strat forums are pretty good about dealing with LC posts, I'm not sure we need to build a solution to something that isn't really a problem.

I deal with 1-4 bad beat / lc / I run g00t/bad posts a day, more sometimes. It's really tough to keep them all in line without stepping on any toes, especially when there's no place for them to go. If we decide that that's what general is for i'll start moving them there and put it in the FAQ, but I didn't want to pollute that board with the detritus of another board.

It's a problem because clearly people want to post them - but most regulars in HUSH don't want to read them. The regulars get mad if they are left to clutter the front page, and the bad beat posters get mad if you lock their threads...giving them an avenue for expression is much needed IMO, because it's a pain in the ass right now.

this is a good point. Make it under Poker and have it be "Variance and Bad Beats" or something so it is clearly poker-related.

I don't think it would work well because there are so many more online poker posted than live poker hands. The live forum would be a ghost town and the interent forum would be the same as today's mid/high except that when someone has an interesting live hand they would be told "don't post that here". People like having a "home" forum. Those of us who play middle stakes both live and online would feel comfortable in a mid-stakes forum. Most people who post live hands also play online, so they would rather just post both hands in their "regular" forum with the same community. You would still have online 15/30 hands hands going in small stakes alongside online 2/4 hands.

Re: Chuck\'s ready to make a change
 

i can assure you that a lot of the reason that you think the live forum would be a ghost town is that regulars were put off by internet hands and the lack of culture and simply stopped posting. activity inspires other activity. people aren't inspired by one good b&m hand in a sea of "30/60 AK NO READS" hand converter dumps, and those hand converter dumps do still deserve a place.

What about calling it "Poker Vents, Rants, and Raves?"

Re: Chuck\'s ready to make a change
 

As a side-effect of this, I'd prefer to be a moderator of MHSH when the changes are made because that is where i'll spend most of my time posting. I'll be happy to cover for the other HU/SH forums in the interrim or even permanently if necessary.

Also, I think Schneids is a great candidate for moderator of HU3, and Josh.(stheif) would be be a really good candidate for MHSH too because of the sheer volume of posts / amount of time he spends in HUSH and in the future MHSH.
