Thanks Jeff. Finally - someone who's willing to police the rampant duplicate posts on the other boards...
...except for the fact that the Brown fans don't normally check the Cornell board.

I told you not to get your hopes up, teams that lose to Wright St. by 20 don't win Ivy championships.
Anyway, again Bruno, there's this functionality on the site called the "Active Topics" page. If you click on it, you see what everyone's talking about. During the Ivy season, when everyone plays everyone, this really comes in handy. There are no "boards"... as Lauryn Hill said, "Everything is Everything"

I dont know, bruno and jeff- this strict orthodoxy to the 'active topics board is fine for us board-regulars, but the casual fan who just stops by to check out their team's board probably doesnt know that. Especially since the active topics link does not stand out.
I'm with internetter on this one: Its really not that much of a pain for me. Perhaps duplicate announcement posts should be marked with 'duplicate' so that active topics people dont waste their time.
On of the best things about this site, i believe, is that it makes a more in-depth support for teams accessable. People get to hear fairly well-educated opinions about their team (how many dartmouth newbies have we had this year just asking for a team roundup? 3-4? you have to figure there are a couple more for each of them, at least).
If the board wants to continue expanding, I think that it has to make its information accessible. Duplicate postings are one way to do that. Alternately, there could be an administrative message about the active topics board to everyone who joins.
If such a system already exists, I withdraw my support of duplicate posting!

On The WELL, another message system I visit (which pre-dates the web, although it now has a web interface), hosts of various conferences have the ability to cross link. So if someone launches a topic about, say, advertising on the Super Bowl in the sports conference, the hosts of the media and business conferences can also link to it. That way the topic only exists once, but people who hang in any of the three conferences can view it and respond. Don't know if UBB.threads allows this, but it's worth investigating.
