Everyone Please Read
Like last year we want to limit clutter so let's keep everything in this thread except a couple exceptions.
1. You can make a thread for the Texans' pick/trade/move. But PLEASE remember to check if one has already been made.
2. If there is a big move that has a substantial effect on the Texans we can start a thread for that.
Other than that it should stay in this thread in virtually all circumstances. Obviously we don't want to limit conversation, just clutter, so use your judgement. If you truly feel it deserves it's own thread go for it. But we certainly don't need one for ever little move or pick made by other teams.
We can use this thread for all of that other stuff and we should be fine.

We can't promote other forums or places that take conversation, debate, or traffic away from FF.
Same reason we can't have chatzy's for FFMD

Well that makes perfect sense. The one thing I always wonder about is why FF knows it is going to be super laggy during the draft, the Super Bowl, the playoffs etc but they don't have some sort of extra server to reduce the lag of all the users being on it at once. Its like....you know its going to happen, so you should create a plan to deal with the lag.

2 things.
1. It doesn't lag that bad
2. Having another sever is expensive and Webby goes to great lengths to ensure we can all be here for free. If it isn't essential he has to make choices. Which brings us back to 1. It doesn't lag bad enough (once the static page goes up) to go to that expense.

MSE, would you mind starting a "Draft Day 1" thread, Draft Day 2, and Draft Day 3. This one already has 50+ pages and personally I'd love to be able to at least separate pre-draft speculation vs. draft day reactions. If we have separate game day threads, we should have separate draft day threads.
BTW - clearly I chose NOT to go to the Tannehill party as our friend of a friend bailed.

That's a good idea. So I'll lock this up.
