Firstly, in answer to this question from Mr Magic:
Serious question has this happened to the threads of other players who've left the Tiges?
Short answer is this: there has been the odd 1-2 or that have been moved (eg Ben Cousins) but usually no we don't move them
Now onto this:
Obviously you have misunderstood me. I'm not advocating not having a thread on ex Richmond players. However, this thread should be on View from the Outer as he is now OBVIOUSLY ON THE OUTER!!!!!!!!! This would not stop posters from still discussing this if they wished to. To paraphrase you, no one is forcing you not to.
We have had 20 pages of this stuff on what is supposedly a Richmond team/player board. I would have thought that it is more than enough and the mods should move it. They seem to do that about other things that are now not related to Richmond. I don't think it's unreasonable request as I am only asking them to follow their own rules.....And to answer your question, I don't keep count of how much time has been put into other former tigers that have gone to other teams so it's impossible to know if 20 pages of discussion or more has occurred with these players. If it has then those discussions also should have been moved to View from the Outer IMHO.
A couple of points
* what we usually move is the stuff that has nothing to do with
Richmond, past, present or future. Perfect example a thread started about the "Douglas Bump' that was started on this board. It was moved because it had nothing to do with Richmond. There is a clear difference I would have though
* Interestingly we didn't have anyone complaing the other the week when we played Brisbane and folks posted in the Luke McGuane thread; meaning it made a re-appearance after not being touched for a period of time
* I would argue that the recent discussions in this thread are more about the Club's recruiting and retaining of players than the actual player himself. Good or bad to see someone do as well as White is at the moment and to see us not having anyone filling that role has raised an interesting debate and having re-read the last few pages that is what is making up the most recent discussion here. Perhaps you think we should split the discussions and create a whole new thread??
* Finally, don't take this the wrong way YBB, but you started a thread on this very board about Richard Tambling retiring. Richie hadn't been at Richmond for over 3 years & (obviously) at the time of his retirement he wasn't a RFC player. But again like the McGaune scenario there wasn't any request to have it moved
So I'd ask doesn't that sort of go against what you are arguing here?
