I'm all for however you want to do it. On csome occasions when I list a lot it can be off the first page in 24-36 hours.

There's a sports rings section?

Yeah, it's gone about as well as your dedicated BST section.

and so far am leaning towards this,...

1950's-60's
1970's-80's
1990's-Present

LOL I actually laughed out loud! Awesome

I also like this idea
1950's-60's
1970's-80's
1990's-present

I just looked on the first two pages and if I counted correctly (and not included broad years like HOFers from 1955-1975 or looking for 50's-70's sets, etc), I only counted 5 posts on the first two pages that were for the 70 - and four of the five were 71 & 72. So, if it is 50's-60's and 70's-80's, I am not sure how much stress and pressure it takes off of the page - versus 50's, 60's , then 70's/80's+, etc. It seems like in the curret 2 pages sample, it runs around 55%/40%/5% 50's, 60's, 70's - but that is unscientific as I did not tally and figure accurately.

This type scenario will certainly be considered...the goal is to even out the traffic a little bit and try to have categories that make sense.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think 50's and 60's together is going to solve the problem. To really even it out you'd need something like:

1950-59
1960-79
1980 to present

Definitely will be considered. We don't even necessarily have to conform to an "even" year cut off (as Adam proposed). I am really open to whatever works best. I agree about the break up not solving the issue if we do it the first way it was proposed.

Went with this for now, and it is changed now. We will see how it goes. I opted to keep it simple for the year cut offs. In my little experience in herding cats keeping it simple is best. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

1950-59
1960-79
1980 to present

I see what you mean.
Useless
LOL

[Exhibitman]

I kind of like 1945-69 and 1970-88. The rest is shiny stuff that has its own fan base.

[Paul S]

I also would like to see the second half of the 40s in with the 50-60s. Lots of good stuff there. Sometimes I feel the late 40s get lost in the previous era.

[clydepepper]

1950-1959
1960-1969
1970-1980

1981-present

I think you need to have a break at 1980 for the obvious reasons.

The 1981-present could be further broken down, I'm just not too interested myself.
