[matchup threads] in the fantasy forum are becoming a problem

[what]

I am not one to complain about stuff, but the last I counted 17 of the 30 threads being shown are threads that are related to these types of games. It seems like every week a new one crops up and bombs that forum with 5 or 6 "matchup" threads, 1 or 2 "draft discussion threads, a "let's talk trade thread to assemble our team," then another thread explaining hows matched up against whom.

It's overwhelming the thread to a great degree. I'm all for people having fun, but now you have at least 3 people who start there own version of these threads and having 3 going on at once is overwhelming.

[Yung-T]

There are matchup threads and ONE draft thread, don't lie and say we have half a dozen threads based on different things.

PS: The Fantasy Sports section is meant to be for fantasy threads and it's not like the guys are making 30 threads per week.

What's so annoying about it and how is it a problem to read other threads, like you said in another post?

You can't expect to be in a forum and only see the threads that are important to you, this is for thousands of people and not just for one.

[Jamers]

We have like 45,000 views on 1 thread. If you seach nba fantasy drafts related query in google, you will most likely see clutchfans website in top 10.. Or the matchups.. We are basically driving more traffic which means more clicks on ads, more profit/ revenue for Clutch.. We basically contribute in our own way..

[123Rockets]

What the hell do you think the fantasy forum is for? And don't give me that bs about have dozen threads at a time. We have ONE thread every while! Then we have like 4 judging threads. There ARE NEVER 3 threads going on at the same time SMH

[LCAhmed]

This seems to be a deeper issue than just a fantasy draft being in the fantasy forum....

[Jamers]

Also, if we get a message from clutch to stop these threads, we will stop it and look for other websites where we can do the same thing..

[what]

This is just a few of the threads and each one of these are followed by 8 to 10 threads for each game plus each round, etc, etc. It's getting to be a bad problem.

Examples:

So what's your point? Reducing the fantasy section to 10 threads?

[fallenphoenix]

is it your time of the month? don't complain because your threads aren't constantly on the top of the board.

we were originally in the NBA dish and CLUTCH told us to move to the fantasy forum, so quit bitching

How the heck is this a problem. This thread was made for this; it is great fun that many people have enjoyed, it brings revenue to Clutch and the site, and it has no negetive impact towards others.

Just want to ask how this became a problem..?

It's offseason.. We're making clutchfans active.. It's not like we
Post it in the garm or hangout.. We let the other draft thread die on the dish before creating a new one..

What?

OK, if you want to play that game then can I complain about the amount of Rudy Gay threads you start in the Dish? Nobody here cares about Rudy Gay.

[fallenphoenix]

clutch is hilarious

[123Rockets]

Dude, clutch is THE BEST

[BigMaloe]

I love how my name was left out of all the examples

So, what.

What is the fantasy forum used for in your opinion? Is it only fantasy football/basketball/baseball??? Are our games that bothersome you have to complain about the fact you dont complain...

Clutch wants anyone to stop he'll say it... he moved us to the fantasy thread, didnt tell us to stop, jus moved us...

Ill tell tou from my own ezperuence that the drafts take over alot of my free time and i click in the threads and site nonstop... somwone said it had 45000 views... well 10000 are from me...

I really am jus curious as to what the complaint is? Why does it bother you? If your saying its jus an abundance, than also complain about the dwight threads, lin threads, uniform threads etc...

Yeah but what does this have to do with Lin?

[Invisible Fan]

What is the problem again?

In your settings, you can auto-subscribe to threads you post in.

Instead of going to the fantasy forum directly, click on User CP to check out activity on threads you posted (and the rep you got).

Now if it's a vanity issue where you feel like your threads should be on top:
tough ****,
this isn't your forum,
other people want to have their own leagues,
get used to it.

[LonghornFan]

Christ, make a forum for this already. It didn't bother me much at the start but now it's just like spam.
