    Anyonbe else think it would be good to have a diary section?

    Would be more used than most of the sections currently there

    The only problem being that Poker Chat would be completely dead without them.

    I am in favour of moving them to a separate section, they do tend to dominate the front page here on Poker Chat. I don't find them very interesting but I'm sure there are lots that do and it would make more sense to keep them all together

    If you move the diarys, the team talks, the hand discussion and the brags beats and variance then what really is "general poker chat"

    Poker chat used to have all sorts of news about the poker world and also some 'just for fun' threads. The odd diary was fine. DOHHHHHHH's and the dons cash diaries were really good but (and i hope nobody takes offence) everybody seems to be at it and its just flooded the poker chat section.

    I agree, and will add that I think people might be more inclined to start threads if they did'nt get pushed off the front page so quickly

     Maybe every forum has temporarily stopped having fun, it could be a world wide phenominnumb---phenombimnun----phemoninon----phenomnennom-----thing going on there?

    pheromone? you mean everyone is at it elsewhere and are too busy to post?
    imho diaries are poker chat, so why move them? just so mr adhd doesn't have to press the next page button?
    I mean, even i've learnt how to do it......

    Suggestion - Just change this section to General Poker Chat.

    Thanks for all the posts!

    My thourghts are it would be best to try and spread the 'action' along different sections. As the only 2 getting regular 'action' is this and Poker Clinic. 

    I also feel like other people it would revive some of the general poker chat. As people who post in diarys daily wouldnt be bumped to the front whilst general chat pushed off the firts couple f pages after only a day or two. 

    Se if sky sees this would be interesting to hear what they had to say

    I think its fine as it is.

    Sometimes the diaries do seem to take up a lot of the front page, HOWEVER most of the diaries seem to die within a couple of weeks as the OPs don't keep up with them.

    The best of the diaries that are regularly updated are an important part of the forum and are of great general interest.

    If it came a time that there were 15/20 diaries that were updated constantly at the same time, then maybe a seperate section would be a nice idea, but until then I think they add an awful lot to Poker Chat.

    Yes i understand that.

    I guess its just a matter of opinion.

    My point is that you if you go to page 3 of Poker Chat you will find post '5 days old'. Whereas on BBV you get posts '5 days old' on page 1. My point is basically that taking out the diarys as a section would even it up a bit.

    Also for people not interested in diarys they do not have to 'sift' through them.

    Because more people look at GPC than BBV. Also only a sset few - me included - feed BBV with moans, or comments.

    here is another suggestion...

    why not give us a Diary section,and continue with Poker clinic section, and Sky Poker T.V channel

    then amalgamate the others into a Poker chat section,which would or should leave this as the 'Main section'

    if you like,leaving plenty of options for people to talk about.

    "just saying"
