    evolving from boards.

    Instead of "best of theory threads" is it possible to make a thread only viewable to registered members (i.e. those who make an account so that they can post).

    In a thread (in addition to, rather than instead of best of theory threads) have beginners training videos. Not the cardrunners/stoxpoker 30min+ jobs, just say a 5min vid done by people here for people here.

    Phantom Lord's 6max basics.
    Cooker3's bankroll management.
    Cooker3's bankroll management part deux, now with even more bankroll management.
    DeepStack tourneys by LuckyLloyd.

    etc etc.

    Short simple 5 min intros.

    I don't know if it is possible to have a thread only viewable by registered members. A forum, yes, but not a thread. I like the idea in general though.

      Its definitely possible one of the other forums i read, they have a private thread that is password protected and they have another feature that quoted post are only visible by registered users. Just a few things ive noticed on it.

        A private forum for people to post/review/critique videos etc could be really handy, allow things like sweat sessions and things like that. It was tried on boards and never really got running but probably would have a better shot here since people are all excited over the newness. I think I've earphones and a mic I wouldn't mind giving one a go I guess.

          Yeah, that forum died alright, I think the problem was that it was hidden away and wasn't really obvious to people so they forgot about it. It *might* work here because of the fact there's less forums and people will see it (if they're members).

          This could be an idea to try certainly, if someone does a video and PM's me or one of the lads we can set up a forum and have a thread for people to ask for admission, but there's no point if people don't make the videos. I don't personally think it should be a super sekrit forum, just one where only members can view and lurkers etc. can't, i.e. request access, similar to the other forum we have.

          Would this be a good idea or acceptable??

            it should definately not be super secret. i was thinking along the lines of having the same sort of "Best Of Strategy Thread" sticky but also a post within that thread with links only visible to registered members, i.e those bothered to create an account.

            Or... something like in the best of strategy thread..

            1) Intro to hold'em, video by 5Starpool
            2) Into to omaha, video by Flushdraw
            etc
            etc

            edit: the "video by" tags should link to a discussion thread where the first post contains the link to a video.

              i'd also advocate that these videos be a gentle summary of key concepts, not earthshattering new ideas that you'd expect from a fee paying site.

                I don't see why it couldn't be though, this could be a great place for people to try out videos for submission to the likes of Leggo and CR if they're trying to get a gig with them... kinda like gaining experience and feedback from people here, I'm sure by now most of us have watched hundreds of hours worth of videos and can give constructive feedback.

                Hence it could be worthwhile to everyone. The basics movies would be good for newbs and others in getting good info, good for the producer by forcing them to work on their game in doing the video. Then for more advanced vids, intermediate/advanced players get exposure to new ideas and explanations and the producers get feedback on their video's as well as working on their own game, etc.

                This will obv probably all never happen, but might just work? I highly doubt it'll ever be very active, but I think it's a good idea if someone does up a video.

                  We can definitely have password protected threads (sorry I was distinguishing these from private ones not viewable) andwe can do forums only visible to registered users as well.

                  I agree that we should maybe try new things to shake things up a bit. Maybe a good first step would be to post asking for volunteers for a few short vids on certain topics? What these topics would be and their scope though is a different matter.
