Is it time to unpin the draft selection threads?

I want to make sure that the pinned threads have meaning. We could move them someplace else if we wanted as well. Maybe create their own forum for them so that we can still easily harken back to them?

I dunno. Thoughts?

Is this thing STILL on?

That's not a bad idea. As you stated, it would make it easier for those that wanted to, to read &/or make comments as the season progresses.

Suggestion:

Pull all the draft pins down

Have 1 pin up there where draftniks can post stuff about upcoming talent for 27

???

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

What I think I might do is make a temporary board for them named 2026 draft selections, move them all into there and then we can move them back to the main forum as the 2027 draft approaches.

its likely a wasted effort, the seperate board wouldnt get the traffic and people would just post them here. I typically unpin stuff once it goes dead, with draft picks its typically a week after the last posts. Was going to start unpinning the slower threads today.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Ah I see Jimmy, sorry I already moved them but it is easy to move them back. I had a little script written that allows mods/admins to easily multi-select items to move.
