    Default Dobbernomics Forum

    I was just wondering where the appropriate spot to post about Dobbernomics would be on these forums?

    Would it be possible to create a section on the forum, or should we just use the free challenges section? I know there is a forum on the site itself but it would be useful to be able to talk about it on here sometimes as well, as with every other dobbersport.

    No rush, I love the game and know you have important things to work on still.

    Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Because I am new to Dobbernomics or any precursor, I am just not sure how much discussion there will be over a season.

    Yes, I'm seriously thinking of adding a Dobbernomics section. How do you guys feel? Weigh in everyone!

    Well from a marketing perspective I would think a forum for Dobbernomics would keep it front and center with the forum members. I personally think it would get more use than the forum on the site when it comes to strategy discussions and player evaluations.

    On the other hand, other areas of the DH forums certainly supply lots of player evaluation information so perhaps it will be a little redundant.

    Personally, I am keen to chat in forum about Dobbernomics and would be active for a while as I get my curiosity salved, at the very least.

    I think it's a great idea. It won't hurt anything.

    I think the idea would be to have it as a subforum right here. Like...

    Keeper League - Forwards Discussion
    General Hockey Chat
    The Lounge
    Baseball - Fantasy Trading
    DobberNomics

    Yeah that makes sense - sorry a little sloppy with vocab. Any spot that is dedicated is just fine.

    ... Is probably the best way to handle it. Otherwise, all other sections, especially the "One Year League" section, will get very muddled.

    Does it need an entire subsection (ala Baseball or Football) or just a single section (ala Basketball chat)?

    I'm thinking the latter to start. If the demand is there for a full blown section, then by all means.

    Thoughts?

    Seems like a solid idea to me. Otherwise we might get two or three subforums that just don't get used and that's just depressing. Crickets chirping and so on

    the game itself has its own forum but a sub-forum here would really help it gain more exposure .

    the more people join , the better affect it has on the market end of the game .

    on a sidenote , I did a quick search for Mackinnon and Niederreiter and noted they werent in the database .

    I suspect the player database still needs work.

    I cant wait to start using the terms moneytrain and lemmings

    moneytrain = a player who you damn well know will be a bargain right from the get go and you ride his $$ increase while the lemmings (people late to catch the train)continue to aid in $$ increase.
