Sass 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 The Education folder would be created for the posters who have school-related topics they'd like to share (asking for help, discussing topics, etc.) If "yes" wins then the Column Corner folder becomes the Ed. folder. If "no" wins then nothing happens and the CC folder remains the same. The poll will be open for a week. After that, whichever answer has the most votes wins. Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 Naturally, I favor the switch to Education. I'm a senior in high school, and I have four more years ahead of me. I'm sure there are other people at the board who can help each other and would welcome help from others with school. I think a scholarly discussion folder could be very beneficial to people whom it directly concerns, and indirectly be an asset to those out of school who just want to partake in the discussion. If anything, it's just a place separate from GC and Comic Books to discuss books and such. However, I feel that old Column Corner/Smark Crew/Rant Crew posts should be saved in the transition, in the event that people want to look up articles they wrote. I'd hate to have written a great tape review in CC and lost it to eternity from the switch to Education when I felt like looking it up to read. I suppose future Rant Crew-style posts could be consolidated with General Wrestling, Fantasy Booking, or WP&L. I just think an Education folder should be given a chance.

Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 I voted yes. And Czech, the columns would stay there. As long as just the name of the folder is changed, the older posts aren't lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 Well now that the vote is at 17-1, let's try to think of a good name for the folder. Education would work, but there could be a more interesting name. Ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 I voted yes, mainly because there are tons of smart people here (albeit some might lack common sense, but they're still smart), and "academic" websites usually take 24 hours to help. We have enough people here to help that it might be very helpful to people. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 (edited) I'd like to remind voters to please add a comment regarding your choice in the thread, it would be greatly appreciated in getting verbal feedback from the community to supplement the numbers. Things to consider before voting: 1. This folder would draw from school topics in General Chat and book topics in CB&L, as well as material in Current Events, with the general intent of providing a means of helping each other with assignments, essays, required reading, and the like. It will be a niche folder designed for TSM posters of high school and college age. It is not expected to be as high-traffic as other folders. 2. If the reformat passes, Column Corner posts will not be lost. They will remain in the folder and should be able to be looked up with the search feature, so if you wrote a good article and want to read it, it will be available. If your fear is losing your archived posts, don't worry. 3. To improve the atmosphere, coffee will be served and jazz will be played.
