An idea (ATTN: Bison)
 

Yo-

Kill the converter for a week or so.

Okay before the bitching starts, hear me out. This forum has some REALLY good players/posters. Unfortunatly I don't get to read the majority of thier responses because the shelf life of a post on the first page is about 15 minutes.

I will go out on a limb and say 95%+ of these posts would not be made if people actually had to type out the hand history themselves.

Less quantity and more quality!

Anybody have any thoughts on the subject?

Re: An idea (ATTN: Bison)
 

Agreed, it's a problem. I'm a guilty party in Micro, too.

I'm wondering if it might not be a bad idea to encourage people to post their hands within their own personal "hands" thread? I dunno. I'd think that might alleviate the problem a little, but would cause plenty of new ones.

I dunno. Killing the converter might work short term, but when it comes back up it'll just become a problem again. And meanwhile, we'd have to look at all sorts of ugly hand histories.

I'm sure someone more creative can come up with a better solution.

Okay

No converter ever again

I agree 100%. Bison should kill the converter for a week to what happens. Slow it all down.

I post this hand: Big Pot 2nd Pair. on Sunday at 9:30PM by 2AM it was 50+ deep on the 3rd page, I was absolutely amazed.

I was also saddened that this hand didn't generate some discussion. I tried to bump my point a few times but it never caught fire.

Kill it, see what happens.

Peace,
Joe

You didnt include Ed Miller's name in the title.

How about killing it for a bit and then passwording it. With the password going out to the discretion of Bison? Then, the players with the quality posts/responses can have access and he/we can govern who has access.

I concur
 

typing out posts is far better anyway. as you type out your hand you think about it more and notice things you missed initally. this is an integral part of hand analysis anyway

Re: An idea (ATTN: Bison)
 

I remember that hand. I thought you played it well but I think a lot of inexperience posters could learn something from it. I too get upset sometimes when I post something in the afternoon and come back to check it at dinner time and find it 3 pages deep w/1 or 2 responses.

Something does need to be done about the amount of traffic on this forum but unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to control it.

What he /\ said.

why dont we just give bison the power to kill the bad poster instead of the converter. jk
