Please observe a couple courteous practices to help our forum structure be as effective as possible for readers and posters alike.

 

1. Please avoid posting items in more than one forum.  Because so many of our readers use the "activity" tab to follow conversations, posting in multiple forums clutters up the activity list, burying other people's topics, without drawing additional attention to your post.  Occasional exceptions might make sense, such as announcing a tryout in one state forum and one regional forum.  However, posting a camp solicitation in several state forums, a regional forum, and the camps forum is well beyond the hospitality this site aspires to offer.

 

2.  Please reserve the General Forum only for items of general interest that do not lie within the portfolio of any of the other forums.  Placing new threads in the best fitting forum increases the likelihood of people seeing it when they browse the specific forum in which they already have an interest.  Overusing the General Forum reduces the effectivenss of all the forums.

 

Thanks very much,

Swampboy

I do that as well, I am almost always in the all topics view. But not everyone uses it that way. 

Many just want to focus on one aspect, or some aspects. They may be uninterested in recruiting, or injuries, so they just look at particular forums. But those people are forced to filter through threads that are more appropriate somewhere else. 

 

There are many ways to use the site, and we as users need to be cognizant of that and take that into consideration when posting. One way of doing that is posting in the appropriate forum. When that is done then the site is more efficient for all users. Those who just want to see everything and those who want to be more selective.
