RealGM Feedback: Regional Forum Links

Post #1 » by **LittleOzzy** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 11:32 pm

How do you feel about the new Regional RealGM Forum Links above the Raptors forum?

How do they look? Does it make you more inclined to visit other forums? Did you even know we had other forums for the other Toronto sports teams?

Honestly, what do you think?

I use an ad blocker, so I don't see the links anymore to OT Canada, Blue Jays, etc. I saw the new look on another computer this morning. Looked cool, but I preferred the text links.

My ad-blocker blocks it too.

Other things about these forums should be looked into first, not these links.

Looks a lot better imo.

I think it looks a lot better. I like them so far. Easily switch between forums

Personally I think they are over the top patriotic. Not your fault with the Leafs cause that is their logo, but I'm here because of Toronto and I don't want to see national flags, be it Canadian or whatever. Hope I'm not offending anyone, cause I mean this in the most respectful way.

I really don't understand what's wrong with seeing the Canadian Maple leaf. Raptors are marketed as Canada's team, and heck, the blue jays for that matter. As for the OT forum, I wouldn't be surprised if it has a lot of Canadian related content.

I like the banners, have never visited the other forums, but I guess I'll go browse now.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I understand the Raptors are marketed as Canada's team, because Canadians living outside Toronto would rather cheer for the Raptors than the Timberwolves and because of TSN being nationally available.

I don't really get why there is a Canadian O.T. forum, though. It's not like there is a US O.T. forum. There is a general O.T. forum where everyone is welcomed to post about anything. Having a Canadian O.T. forum feels like you guys are cutting yourselves out of the rest of the world. It can't be good for culture. It's isolationism and it's pretty popular in a lot of anglo-saxon countries.

FWIW, I like the idea of having banners instead of links, if you're going to have links that is.
Also, I didn't realize the Jays logo was like this. I thought the red leaf had been added to it.
BTW, I think the Leafs banner looks best.

I like it. And I think a lot more people will finally notice that we have these other forums.

I like them but its funny the Bills are listed before the Leafs

Should add a list of our custom Favourites instead of Regional

The OT forum links to the Canadian Off-Topic forum, its different from the general off-topic forum.

Forum.

But yes, ad-blocker doesn't let me see the images. Used a different browser and it looks good though.

Post #19 » by **LittleOzzy** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:14 pm

Any other opinions?

Post #20 » by **itbobby007** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:21 pm

I think the Bills should be listed last, outside of that its fine.
