I would like to pass on the idea of maybe having a baseball trivia section here.
But, I'd like to hear the opinions of others first.
If we can get our old friend CrashTest in here as a member, it will definitely be a hot topic.
Let me know.

I'm all for it.
Crash Test and Houston Buff aren't one and the same are they?

I didn't think so, we had a debate going on the other board about it though.

As far as I know, Buff no longer posts online on the internet with the exception of his columns and contributions to the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame website which pretty much consumes all of his energy between that and their annual TBHoF Banquet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting back to the original subject of this thread, I was thinking that if a history section is included, I know that CrashTest would certainly be active in contributing. I have been so impressed with his baseball knowledge in general and of the history of this franchise going back to the days of the Colt .45's, that I am convinced he has a photographic memory!
If a history section is included, I hope there would be more interest than there is on the other boards.
The other option, is to simply discuss Baseball/Astros history topics under the "Regular Season" topic. It would get more hits that way. A History section tends to get marginalized simply because folks forget it's there.
That's what happens in other forums. In fact, highly interesting and very active history related topics have been virtually hijacked and killed because they were abruptly moved to the history sections of other boards where there was little or no traffic.

Tell me exactly how you want it set up and whom you want to moderate it and it's done, my friend.

I like the idea of starting them out in the Regular season. We can assign an icon associated to the trivia posts.
We can leave the posts in the regular season based on a number of replies, time limit, views or just leave them permanently.

Tell me exactly how you want it set up and whom you want to moderate it and it's done, my friend. If they are allowed to be posted under "The Regular Season" topic would it need a moderator? I'll PM you for specifics. |
