I am wondering how to make this forum more exciting and have increased traffic over a sustained period of time?
I know the obvious answer is that the Dbacks put a winning product onto the field, but of course they're the only AZ franchise out of the 4 profressional sports to win their Championship in their respective sport and they arent too far removed... True.. it seems like distant history after the debacle of the '04 season.. but they were fielding a highly competitve team up until then and last year rebounded quite well...
Of course.. the drawback was the team lacked life/excitement.. but injecting a team with the likes of Orlando Hudson and Eric Byrnes is a good stop-gap until the highly touted uber prospects will advance into the limelight and have the chance to prove their worth/keep......
I still contend that having Bob Brenly Jr. as your manager isnt a benefit... especially since Melvin doesnt know how to use the younger players and will slow down the development of Jackson, and eventually will do the same to the others... if Jackson struggles again...Melvin better not bench him in favor of Clark w/out providing a chance for Jackson to overcome a slump.. otherwise... he will lose all his confidence.....
But.. I did digress somewhat by straying away from the original topic.... How should I make this more exciting? I dont like "cut and pasting" articles (except when it pertains to music news of interest)..... I have written my "Lous Views" which I'll probably write the next one to be on the front-page..... We could have some game-time chats on occasion.... have people attend games and write their personal accounts... or those who are heavily into sabrematics discuss stats and put them into proper context on a regular basis... obviously there are many who follow the Minor League system (including myself), so we could have threads updating their rise... plus... '06 draft previews could be written as well....
Feedback from everyone would be vastly appreciated because I cant tolerate when this forum becomes dormant......
