Constructive Feedback

We are well into the new regime for daily posters at VEB.  Thought it would be interesting to hear what everyone thinks of the new lineup and changes in format over the last few months.

First of all,  would like to thank all of the daily contributors for the effort.  I certainly don't have the time and creativity to come up with something interesting to say every day.  So kudos to all of them for keeping VEB interesting.

Second, as a general rule I like the way that FANPOSTS have been self-edited to big topics.  It works much better in the last year and the posters generally put up some interesting topics.  In fact, one of the nice things this year is that some of the fanposts becomes the de facto daily/weekly site for comments which takes some of the pressure off the main posters.

Third, love the Red Baron and his draft analyses.  It's nice to delve so deeply into the draft.  I wish we had more regular updates on the minor league season but Gould does a nice job on that this year so I get my fill from there. 

Fourth,  I like that all the games have separate game threads now instead of the daily post becoming a game thread but it does seem they don't always come up in time.  Is that just me?  Also, I don't like the Cards box score at the top of game threads because if I haven't been following the game, I don't like to log in and see the score before I get a chance to troll through the thread.  Is there a way to block that? 

Fifth, as far as the posters go, I think their main goal is to generate some discussion with new insight and I think they do a good job of that.  My only recommendation is to get the daily post up earlier.  I used to love waking up at 6:00 am last year and seeing a new post for the day.  They seem to be later this year.  Also, it would be interesting to have a weekly or monthly post on a review of the rest of the major leagues.  I love the Cardinals but would like to see a broader post from time to time.  Llboros used to do a session where he would answer five questions for the opposing team's poster on their site and we would get to see a discussion of five points about the opposing team on our site.  Are you still going to be doing that?  (I'm not a daily reader so apologies if I have missed these).

Sixth, can we get more Anthony Reyes posts  -- seriously what does one have to do to get an Anthony fix anymore :)

Seventh,  can't say enough about some of  the great consistent comments from Sleepy, Viva, Tom S, Hardcore, Fourstick, and others.  Always a good way to kill an hour every night. 

As the title says, let's keep any comments constructive.
