Re: Would You Like To See RCF Expand It's Browns Coverage?
I like the idea of an incremental expansion. For instance, giving the Browns discussion its own forum plus subforums (game day threads, trade/free-agency forum /etc.) makes sense. www.realbrownsfans.com appears to be an available domain name if that's of interest for a front page. I don't have strong feelings one way or another on a Browns-related front page. I like the current setup of having all RCF forums visible on one page and would suggest retaining that layout even if there is some expansion in forums. Very convenient the way it is now. I woudn't want them to be separated.
I'm not worried about any expansion of Browns coverage diluting Cavs coverage, since we have so many members (and MODS) dedicated to the Cavs. It would more about better supporting the Browns fans who visit these forums and attracting new ones. They could ignore the Cavs forum. If they act out for whatever reason on the Cavs forum, we would deal with it. More moderation in the Browns forum may be necessary if we get an influx of terrible posters -- diluting the quality of what is posted in the Browns forums now is the one concern I have. The Browns forum may not see as much traffic as it could but the current quality is pretty fantastic thanks to Smooth, cdt, and many other regulars.
Expanding Browns coverage could also act as a test run in terms of doing the same for the Indians/etc.
I recognize the advantages/disadvantages related to changing the overall site name. I prefer the current name since it attracts new posters to talk about the Cavs, and it prioritizes them as the site has done since its formation.
