Autograph sub-forum?

[thecatspajamas]

Add my vote to those wanting to split off autographs into something separate.

If keeping up the number of posts is a concern, just make it clear that all sports autos are fair game, or even open it up further to historical and entertainment autographs.

I think once the dust has settled, the number of posts in the Memorabilia forum will come back up naturally.

Leon, why not run a poll for a week or so, and see if the results are as overwhelmingly one-sided as they appear to be from these posts?

Agree

I'm for two new forums. One centered around "Is this good?" and another for autograph discussion/show-off.

I can't imagine making 2 more forums immediately.....maybe we try one first and see how that goes...and if it is still overwhelming, we discuss at that time. Baby steps forward.......

Hey Lance
I appreciate your, and everyone else's, thoughts so far. No need to do a formal poll, imo, this thread is doing fine. It is in fact overwhelming so far...which, as most know, is one of my criteria for change. I really do appreciate all of the feedback. I just hope that if a sub forum is made, the other memorabilia guys/girls will start some new and informative threads. I have also received one private email in support of the new sub forum, among other suggestions .

I don't read a lot of the memorabilia side of the board because of all of the autograph squabbles, but even if they were split I more than likely wouldn't post as I don't have a lot to add, just a lot to learn.

...but while we are at it can we also separate t206 collectors from the rest of the card collectors?

If the autograph sub-forum is gonna happen i like this idea. Maybe we can start talking about autographs from entertainment, politics, historical figures as well? Might get a bunch of new members too.

Edited to add- I see you guys talking about other Moderators. I was curious, other than Leon, who is the other Moderators at Site 54??

I pick and choose words in describing the forums carefully most times. I used the word on this and the autograph forum "primarily". That way there is some wiggle room for later sports stuff and non sports too. As for the other moderators, Dan Bre.tta, Brian Mc.Queen, and Matt Wei.der are all moderators too. best regards

Can we get a T206 sub-forum on the main board, too?


All kidding aside, it won't change my viewing. I'll still read both types as threads as much as I do now.
