Obviously, I would choose different threads.

Its been our tradition to just have one thread. Its better in the long term.

You meant to say "2023-2024 poll on offseason threads format 1.0".

I wouldn't mind an additional thread for the Harden stuff. But 1 works fine.

One thread is better then just create a separate thread if something does happen officially.

I always felt like the board was more active/vital when we had multiple threads going, even if they fell under the same general umbrella. Maybe 10 years ago the powers that be told all mods that they needed to contain things to single threads as much as possible, and I think our mods were the only ones who really complied. If you go on other boards (at least active ones) you see a lot more granular threads.

I'd rather see multiple topics to see quickly what people are talking about.

I often check the board but don't bother looking at the "one thread" on the assumption that the same people are arguing about the same things as always. I'm often right, but I probably miss some interesting discussions by skipping the "one thread" so often.

That's a great point. As annoying as constant threads started for somewhat insignificant topics can get, any kind of real off season news getting its own thread is a good idea.

Problem is save for firing Doc and hiring Nurse, a few minor signings in Beverley and Bamba and re-signing Reed, it's been all quiet on the Sixers front this offseason. When a major move happens, I'm sure that there will be a thread devoted to it.

The fact that this thread was even created goes to show how slow the past two months or so have been lol.

And they all had their own threads. Paul Reed, Beverly, Bamba, Nurse, each draft pick, all had their own threads. People just don’t want to discuss those issues very long.

In these days of so many random people posting stuff on Twitter and other forums as “news,” we don’t need a thread to discuss every tidbit that comes out.

Does “Nick Nurse wants to turn Paul Reed into Siakim” need a thread? No. You have a Nurse thread, a Reed thread, and the off-season thread.

The off-season thread is a place to discuss every little tidbit that comes out since we have nothing else going in. We even discuss the Vinsider in that thread, and those are events almost guaranteed not to happen.
