Sorry, my mistake. I thought it was Pre-Gwar.

Default Let's crank it back a decade or two
I agree, not aGwar. I don't think I have made a single post-war post over my Net54 career (I consider it a career), and have noticed the board drifting up a decade or more as time goes by. Come on people, start the pre-war post machine! I will start a pre-war thread up here shortly, once I figure out what in the fadoodle I want to post about.

By the way, Phil Rizzuto started his MLB in April 1941, pre-US involvement in WW2. I know he has a Double Play card.

No, it's a reasonable complaint. There are Off-Topic boards, there are modern boards, and there are post-war boards. So everything that gets posted there is better off somewhere else. Prince nor Jake Arrieta are pre-war baseball players. It is becoming clutter.

Default Sift through?
What does it take a whole 5-10 seconds to read the title of the thread? I would rather see some off topics then have the board be stagnant with no fresh discussions. I understand there is a postwar board but i believe we all know this is the main board on this site. I too would like more prewar discussions on the prewar board but am certainly not bothered by talk of other vintage payers.

Default I agree
Hi Blair, I agree with you. Put the post war threads in the post war area. Why are they on the main board? The same with the Prince thread. (fyi -I am a big fan of Prince) There are 1000's of forums available, so why would someone put a Prince thread on the main page of a pre-war baseball card forum? Everyone knows that Prince is dead and adding a thread on this forum doesn't contribute anything. It would be appropriate in the Water Cooler section, but not the main page.

It really isn't a big deal, and it only takes a few seconds to skip over a thread, but it is a little weird. BTW, I love this forum and I have a great deal of respect for Leon and the way that he moderates the forum.

Rick

A few hot topic post-war/modern threads are perfectly fine. My big gripe is these threads get more discussion than the pre-war threads. Also, when we talk about post-war and modern players and events how about throwing in a few comparisons to pre-war.

Arrieta threw a no-hitter, so did Cy Young, Bumpus Jones, Nap Rucker, ... Heck, Addie Jose had back to back no-hitters for all of MLB (October 2 1908 then April 20 1910).

If we touch on these topics in the pre-war section, let's include some pre-war history along with them.

My bad on the 51 Topps thread - I kind of assumed (wrongly) that near war discussion topics happened here since there isn't another highly trafficked page for this. Anyway, you have my solemn pledge to not violate the pre-war date again. Now, is it 39 when the war began or 41 when the US entered?

I agree with this but at the same time certainly undertsand the issue. Heck, it could be/probably is my fault. My goal is to have the place not be stagnant and a fun place to be while focusing on what we all love, the sportscard hobby. I don't think anyone can say we don't try to keep it organized. That being said Off Topics have always been allowed on the front page in moderation. That is why sometimes they get moved and sometimes not. Big news events are ok for an off topic and Princes death is big to many of us. I watched about 30 minutes to an hour of his songs yesterday. Oh, the memories. Overall I say give Peace a chance and try to put things in the correct places. And Babe says this is the way he would run the board too...except he would order up some hot dogs and hamburgers to eat between innings. Happy collecting too!!

I personally don't mind seeing post war stories pop up on this board. I like to broaden my horizons from time to time. There is always something new to learn.
How many times do we have to beat a dead horse over the same pre war stories?
Throw in a few post war stories to make things interesting. I think there are more important things in this world to complain about.

I am totally with this. I can slide by anything that does not interest me and honestly anything to do with collecting interests me.

I think we all know that if the front page was stagnant and the amount of new posts dries up people will visit less. Less visits multiplies as something else replaces it in your head and the board dies.

It has happened to many boards before and will happen again. Variety is the spice of life. The board needs traffic.
