JBarrett82 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 i think its a great idea. its a wonderful thing to do to keep sean's memory alive, but give it its own place on the site. that way we can keep sean threads separated from those in the other forums.

MonkeySkin Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sean Taylor was the best player the Redskins have had in a LONG time. It's deserved IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I don't really see the point. This is the off-season people gotta talk about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Adama Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 If people don't want to read about Sean Taylor, don't click on the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes. It wouldn't bother me to have a forum dedicated to that if the need be. I personally just don't click on the threads I don't want to read...but apparently that's too difficult for some members. So a forum may be necessary so we can cut down on the threads that bash the threads about ST. Couldn't agree more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfire Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 great idea. as sad as taylors death was, it does get annoying having to sift through 800 sean taylor tribute threads just to get back to the redskins/football talk. if all that stuff was put in one forum, itd be a much cleaner board.It's not that I don't still feel bad for his family and us, but I want to move on. I come here to see what people say about football, and football is probably the last thing on Sean's mind right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28-Green Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think it would be a good idea. It will reduce the clutter, especially with the up coming trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think it's a great idea Pete. It really isn't my idea. I've seen members bring it up more then once over the past few months. Wow....for real?!I voted no....I think it will be a lot easier after the trail is over....and this thing is no longer in the news. Obviously Sean Taylor will not be forgotten especially not by skins fans... I dont really think his own forum is necessary:2cents: I wish I could agree, but haven't seen any indication that it will stop any time after the trials. It will just get those people that can't let him go even more active in their postings IMHO. I think it would be a good idea. It will reduce the clutter, especially with the up coming trials. That's pretty much where I stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mac Patty Wack Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 No. I like hearing some of the things people have to say about him. People just need to restrain themselves and cut out the crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Perfect idea. Send all the Taylor threads to one forum so that the posters can all support one another, and hopefully one day enjoy life and Redskins football again. Taylor's death was beyond tragic for his family, friends, loved ones and all Skins fans. However, there is a time when you need to let go and realize that retiring his number, making a statue for him at FedEx, having a mural for him etc will not bring the man back.

turbodiesel#44 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think the "memorial" type threads could easily belong to a ST forum, but I would like to see timely news about the trial continue to be posted in the stadium. ST is still a Redskin in my book. The grieving and what if threads don't belong here, but the news does. The Stadium is my one stop Skins news shop. You really have to go far afield to find all the stuff that is comprehensively collected and displayed in the Stadium. I would hate to see that change.

pjfootballer Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I voted yes so people can have their own ST forum and stop posting so many tribute threads. Enough is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNGwithOUTaCrwN Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 yes,that way those who dont want to read bout him wont complain and those who would like to talk bout him have a place to post all their thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sens11 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Not only is it a good idea for this community in terms of the site and it's format, but it is a great way for us to honor him and his memory. I'm all for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 yes,that way those who dont want to read bout him wont complain and those who would like to talk bout him have a place to post all their thoughts They're gonna complain no matter what. If someone mentions a "21" connection in a thread, you'll have people saying "wrong forum" even though the thread they posted on is not about Sean Taylor. For example: let's say we beat the Giants in the opening game by 21 points. Someone's gonna bring up the "21" aspect within the game thread or within follow up threads. And when they do, the same people complaining about too many tribute threads will complain about those posts as well. It'll start to sound like some fans don't want Sean Taylor mentioned at all in the Stadium. We'll also have to deal with those people who ridicule the ST forum, saying things like "Have you been over there? It's scary. Those people need to get over Taylor's death and stop coming up with so many tribute ideas...", etc, etc. Others will say they agree, and the complaining will continue. The same people who find it impossible to simply not click on a thread about ST will also find it impossible to not visit the ST forum. You KNOW they'll be heading over there regularly anyway, just to see what's being said. It's the same reason they continuously click on ST threads in the Stadium forum even though they keep saying they're tired of them. I think having a ST forum might be a good idea...although I suspect that when all the supposedly numerous Taylor tribute threads are moved over there, we'll find out that there are, in reality, only a handful of threads about ST being created and not the gobs of threads it's being made out to seem like now. It'll look like a rarely used forum, with only 9 or 10 threads going and only 12 posts in the last week. Meanwhile, the 247th thread ****ing about Snyder in the Stadium forum will have 19 pages of posts and responses. And nobody will suggest we have a Snyder forum lol.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 And by the way, for the segment of ESers who want a Sean Taylor forum in order to "clean up the clutter" of all the ST tribute threads or because "I hate having to wade through all the ST tribute threads in order to find threads that are talking about football", I just checked the first three pages of threads. There are 120 threads on those first three pages, not including the sticky threads. Out of those 120 threads, a grand total of 4 threads were about Sean Taylor. And two of them were updates about the trial. So let me ask...how hard is it REALLY to wade through all four of those ST threads and find ones about football? How much clutter would REALLY be cleaned up by moving those four threads into their own forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OU_skins Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I think the idea to change "FedEx Field" to "Sean Stadium" really put the people on this board over the edge today. I hope that guy was joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Good points have been raised. If a separate forum is created, it would need to be clear that a temporary ban or something else would happen if someone goes there bashing people for continuing to talk about Sean, for suggesting changing the stadium's name, or whatever. In my opinion, if we create a separate forum, it should be a positive place to remember Sean and to support those who still are working through their grief.

Veretax Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 It won't hurt but I doubt it stops Sean Taylor threads from cropping up here. We still have issues of folks mis posting stuff here that should be in the ATN forum so eh :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Reading through this thread just reinforces the tough job the Mods have. Wrong if you do and wrong if you don't. Good two posts Califan007 for providing another good point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
