1. We didn't get an answer to this, so I'd like to ask again. There is a game recounts archive. Is this an okay place to use as storage for old game threads? We find that during the season, the team (Mets) forum is overrun with game threads. I can move those threads to that archive forum every morning, it's part of my daily tasks. 2. What is the member promotion forum, and should it remain? 3. Are there any forums that are missing from the old site?

As opposed to the previous default state of the site, you may want to set a custom feed as your GCM landing page. It's that useful. Instead of having to click through the (kinda insanely large now) site, you can tailor a feed to show basically whatever you want: select authors, topics you've followed, fellow users, unread content only... the list goes on. First, to find your personal feed, near the top right of the screen you will see a newspaper icon in the orange bar below your user information. That brings you to the default view, which is Unread Content. Here you'll see a variety of options to tailor your custom stream to do almost anything you like on the site. I'll spare you going through each item in detail individually, as it's all quite self-explanatory. You can choose tagged content, type of content (news, forums, blogs, status updates, etc.), read/unread only, content you've participated in or started, followed content, and finally, how it's sorted. Depending what kind of device you're using, you can also choose Condensed or Expanded. Condensed just gives you the title and link while Expanded offers a truncated version of the content as a preview. Once you've decided on your changes, you can save this stream using the save prompt below. You're allowed to have multiple custom streams so name this new stream and it joins the others. Once you're done customizing your stream, Click Stream Options at the top right of the selection drop-down, and your choices become your default custom stream. Every time you click that newspaper or visit your stream, the selections you've made will remain in place. That's it, enjoy the new site!

It's a give-and-take situation, like most things. Editing in-line on a page is faster, and reduces scrolling. It's also lighter on the server, and speeds up the site. The downside is that you're not taken back to the forum page.

The page doesn't go anywhere; it dynamically loads your post into the page. That's why it doesn't take you anywhere, there isn't actually a page load during a reply, it just adds the reply to the end of the thread.

100 posts, or 365 days.

No app. It's something we'd like to develop, but the cost is tremendous. The more sites we operate, the more feasible it becomes.

Oh, you really don't want to.

This is the link to the Mets forum: https://grandcentralmets.com/forums/forum/6-new-york-mets-talk/

Word filter scaled way, way back. Most common swear words will go through just fine.

I've mastered the bass-ackward relaunch at this point, but yesterday was even more bass-ackwardish than usual.

I don't know if this is a hot take as much as it's perceiving Semien in a way differently than I perceive him.

Cody wrote this for DiamondCentric early in the offseason, and asked that it be ported here. I also do not agree with this take.

Ah yes, the permissions on that forum were weird, I updated them maybe an hour or two ago.

The three horizontal bars on the top right is all sorts of messed up right now, but I should have all the links updated within the next day or so.

You motivated me to search for something I've never looked for before: a tool to isolate usergroups, and move users en masse. Everybody with an account here is now an Old-Timey member, which means this thread is now irrelevant.

That's weird your cellphone is struggling, as we don't had ads running. Badly-coded ads are often the biggest culprit when it comes to difficulty navigating on phones.

For sure, and I'm happy to add anyone who wants that access. The reason I'm getting out in front of it is because there's political talk in that forum, and we'll be attracting new users. I've seen what happens in those forums when new users are given access immediately. It ends in bans, and lots of headaches. This way we have a natural buffer of existing members not being exposed to people who register just to stir trouble in political threads, which is sadly common.

1. We can't change the top navigation to "Crane Pool Forum", there isn't enough room on phones for that to fit. But I can certainly add it to the forum main page, I will add that to my list of tasks. 2. Yeah, that's an SEO thing. It will help that forum climb the rankings in the very-common search of "mets forum". 3. Yes, there's a whole subsection of the site that's highly customizable. It's called the activity feed, and I'll get a blog post up on it soon. Look for the newspaper icon near top right of all pages. 4. Ugh, I completely forgot to turn off the profanity filter, it's on by default. I assume you all want it back on? I can do that.

Top of every page, big orange "forums" link.

Okay, so what we typically do to prevent asshats from destroying the off-topic forum is that we hide it behind two things: 1. Post count 2. Time since registration After X number of posts, users are moved to the Old-Timey group, which can see that forum. Because we just migrated users yesterday, sometimes this functionality is broken. If you'd like access to this forum, just private message me and I'll toggle it on for you.

We're looking for front-page contributors to write Mets content for the 2026 season! If you’ve ever wanted an audience for your Mets takes, this is the perfect place. While we generally lean into analytics and analysis, we also take a “come as you are” approach to baseball and give writers a lot of leeway to write about the game in a way that interests them. That could manifest in historical pieces, previews, or regular series. It’s a matter of finding your niche in the fandom and carving out a space for it. If this is the kind of baseball talk that interests you, please reach out via email at brock.beauchamp@grandcentralmets.com or reply to this note. It is also noteworthy that we pay our content creators. It’s certainly not enough to quit your day job. So don’t do that. However, it might be enough to show that we value your time, talent, and effort. If you know someone who might be interested in creating Mets content as a side job, please share this with them!

Oh hah, you visited during the four minutes the Mets forum was missing as I merged content. Bad luck on you. 😀
