Thread: Why did we change from posting Chicago Bears articles in the,

OK.

So, is this just a temporary thing, or are we supposed to be changing to this 2-step system of posting articles? FWIW, it seemed great to have all the Chicago Bears stuff in the Chicago Bears forum. It seemed like an efficient way to come to the site for Bears info.

Otherwise, you feel like you're jumping around to get the meat of the news on the Bears. It just seems to add an unnecessary step to the process. Kind of like, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

I'll get off of my soap box now, because I do like this messageboard a lot. It has a lot of good stuff going for it. Most importantly, it has the best posters I've encountered. That's the true strength of this board - the posters here.

Thanks Benj. Now I understand.

I thought Meathead was just a poster who was double-posting stuff. Most of those articles were already threads in the Chicago Bears forum, and they had discussions going already. But now I know it was a bot, so I understand what was going on.

It was just confusing to me. Thanks for letting me know.

Same here, I also thought Meathead was just another annoying spammer. lol

Yeah, I didn't want to be a jerk with the guy. I just figured he was a clueless guy, but who was generally harmless. Obviously, I'm not too bright myself.

Yeah, it's just me.

I'm tweaking with ways to post Chicago Bears news feeds to the front page. Oddly enough it wants to post in the forums, that's there a new article.

As of right now, I've disabled it while I'm not working on it.
