"OFFICIAL" Post your idea of how you would like to see Grassroots Central broken up.

[JoshLowry]

Multiple members are requesting we break up grassroots central.

What would you like to see?

I was thinking breaking it into these three sections.

1. Grassroots Activism

2. Speculation and Predictions

3. Media and News (also polls and data)

Would like to see Media Spin remain it's own subforum.

 

[sailingaway]

great idea.

 

[cilution]

This is the only section of the forum that I check, really, so I'd prefer it to stay as it is.

There are probably far more lurkers like myself than actual posters, and most of us probably don't have the time to look through multiple sections every day.

Sounds good. Make "speculation & predictions" a subforum of grass roots. Change the name of "media spin" to "media & news"

 

[donnay]

Sounds like a winner to me!

 

[braane]

I like the idea.

Would like to see Media Spin remain it's own collection.

I'm against splitting the forum further. Most people don't want to go to separate subforums.

Things will get very crowded here, very quickly. A neat forum is essential when you frequently have 1000+ browsing and posting. The grass roots activism surly needs to be more prevalent in grass roots central, less MSM stuff.

 

[Rudeman]

I'm fine with it as is, but if it were to split maybe one for articles, polls, interviews, debates and another for basically grassroots stuff (phone from home, calls to radio stations, chip ins etc.)

Like I said though I'm fine with it as is.

 

[JoshLowry]

Use New Posts?

Grassroots central has become a dumping ground for everything.

 

[1stAmendguy]

First of all, you can unsticky the teaparty11 moneybomb thread since it's over. That would create a little more space.

 

[JoshLowry]

Done.

It's too big to fail.

I think media spin has to be different, and not show up on the front page. often we WANT to advertise good stories, but not hit pieces.

 

[garyallen59]

I am against the split.

Perhaps, the bigger problem is that not enough people are aware of "New Posts" function (link at upper left under home). This function is perfect for those that like the fast-paced, one stop shop for all things Paul.

For people who want to get things done, organization is key.

 

[afwjam]

I understand people hesitation to having more forums to keep track of. I already think the number of forums has gotten to be to many, some of the titles and purposes misleading or unnecessary. So I think we should split things up more efficiently ultimately reducing the total number of forums, making it easier to understand where to go and what is being talked about. What would Ron Paul do?

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

I a good idea whichever way you want to spilt it...


There's so many posts, good infomation and news, etc is being buried to page 3 in just 30-60 minutes.

Polls & Surveys, Voting is a definite

I'd like to see an Alert Banner Scroll: Vote immediately, Call, Email, Twitter actions ASAP... something along those lines Mods can turn it off and on, Flash colors (Red/Yellow) Sorta Requiring Immediate Actions/input etc. Get on C-SPAN, call in on this candidate, here's the Phone numbers.... etc.

Subsections Priority Grassroots Actions: ie "Help Needed in Manchester tomorrow 8AM" Show up with RP banners/posters in Ames at Noontime. Covert Anti-War Rally at Romney appearance...

Phone From Homes/Communications section

Is it possible to set "New Posts" to show posts from only the selected sections of the forum I would like to show up there? If that is a possibility then I would be fine with it. I typically only check Grassroots, General, and Opposing Candidates.
