Look in my opinion I think we need some changes for this board. Prehaps re-naming it to "WF Fantasy Booking." I would love a sub-board to post cards or info on shows. I think we need to be moved from under the caterogry "Wrestling Figures." Prehaps we should move to the wrestling section right under the Wrestling sims board. I have Pm'ed Adimins so many times about this manner but no response. Text Fedders, please give me your opinion. Slappy, maybe you can sticky this. I am not trying to cause any type of trouble. I think we need some changes not only to better us but to better WF. It doesn't make a sense to be under the Wrestling Figure category. We don't have anything to do with Wrestling Figures. WOJC, Nick, Jack Specific, HR2X, or any other adimin. Please I ask you to listen to us, like you would for any other board. We may have problems but I don't see why this should get in the way of making things better. Now please your opinions.

Thing is, for me at least, I post my federation based on my figures. Therefore there is a connection. This may not apply to all, but I assume that is why the board is called: WF Figure Feds - Text!

That's why there is confussion. If you use figs then it goes in the Other E-Fed board. Fanstasy booking involves no figure. I mean I don't mind other E-Fedders posting in here but the name has got people confused. So do you think the name should be changed?

Well, if that is true, then the name is very misleading. Prehaps some sort of MOD can clear the name confusion?

I have been here for a while and I was always told that if you uses figures, it belongs in the other E-Fed board.

Oh, well...I mean, how would they manage that? Besides me just saying I did, how would one know that they were using figures? I personally think that Other E-Fed Board should combine with this one. I've never visited the board, but I assume it is the same idea.
Also, sorry to squeeze this in, but would you mind leaving a quick review on my second Voltage episode before I post the third?

Sure I will get a reply up...
Now that is a good point on how would we know if you use wrestling figures. Maybe if our name said WF Fanstasy Booking and says underneath it *Do not post if use Wrestling Figures*

That is a good idea. Hopefully we might some notice and this might happen.

The thing is that we have been trying so hard for this to happen for so long. Back to when I was MOD

The thing is that we have been trying so hard for this to happen for so long. Back to when I was MOD psh, back when you were mod. Back in July or so when I was running this place, me and Smurf fought so damn hard to get the names changed/moved/renamed, but it was all for naught. I don't want to take cheap shots at any of the admins, but none of them seemed to give 2 craps about the text feds/fantasy booking except Chase, who shortly after he got the admin spot was stripped off all powers and then the spot. This doesn't come as a problem with people who use figures for their federations. Figure fedding is how I got my start in fantasy booking. It's moreso the seperation needed and clarification needed. The current situation just leaves everyone in confusion. Some people use figures, some don't, some don't know what the hell is going on. The seperation is needed. The two boards are very different. Text feds/fantasy booking is more storyline based. We tell an intrigate story, with the wrestling playing the supporting role to the story. Almost soap opera style. Figure fedders use more wrestling. You can't have really intrigate storylines when using figures, and it's even harder to transfer the storylines from a figure fed into online and words. This is why figure federations are more wrestling based with storylines coming second. No offense is meant to anyone, but combining the boards just aren't the answer. The ultimate solution would be to rename and move the boards. This takes no more than five minutes. I am currently working on a Proboard for a friend's upstart website, and I move stuff around all the time. It is extremely simple to do. The problem is, only Jack has the power to move or rename any boards. What needs to be done, and I'll simply what ant said with this. * WF Figure Feds - Text needs to be renamed to "WF Fantasy Booking" * WF Fantasy Booking needs to be moved from the Wrestling Figures catagory to the Pro Wrestling catagory. The ideal place for the newly created Fantasy Booking board would be just under the "Wrestling Sims" board. * Other eFeds needs to be renamed "WF Figure Feds" and moved to the wrestling figures catagory, the best place being either a sub-board to Wrestling Figure Talk (ideal place for more traffic) or where the current text feds board is. The reason we cannot just all move and everyone switch boards with each other, which could work, is it would eliminate all the archives that both boards hold, which are a vital resource in the histories of the boards. In short, the order is all ed up and something needs to be done

We've been trying for over a year to get this to happen, but the admins keep saying that they will do it, but they never do.

Slappy my dear friend maybe they will listen to you. Because they do not have the courtsey (SP) to PM back. Please all we want is a name change and to be moved.

Me, Smurf, UYI all tried when we modded the other e-feds board. But nothing happened. I've tried since becoming mod on this board. They will make promises about changing the board, but never do anything about it.

I'm off to bed this is getting me pissed. Maybe we can try to figure something that will get them to listen to us.
