SPORTS FORUM.....



I notice a couple of new forums up on the Org and I was wondering if I could 'push my luck'

by expanding the good man Anxiety's suggestion of a nod SPORTS FORUM nod


I know it may be abit of a cheeky ask and I fully appreciate this is mainly a 'Prince music site', but like alot of Prince fans I do love both! thumbs up! and I'm pretty much sure
(I think!) that folks would enjoying flexing sports banter with fellow prince fans!


What you say!? boxed Good idea?


A seperate forum would keep the General Forum from clogging up with sports talk
and thus avoid annoying my main baby boy Anx! ( wink ) and other non-sports
fans alike smile.


Another arguement for a seperate forum is that you could get rid of those TWO 'STICKY' SPORTS THREADS from the top of the GD page that alot of peeps were pissed off about and put them in the proposed SPORTS FROUM shrug

.....and the biggest case of all....

.....just look at the summer of fantastic sports ahead woot!....

European Football Championships 2004 soccer, the XXVIII OLYMPIC GAMES yay!,

the PARALYMPIC GAMES, Wimbledon '04, Formula 1,

the U.S. Open in New York, 91st Tour de France, the ICC Cricket World Championships

....and I'm sure there's plenty of things on in the U.S. sports calendar as well!!! (Post and tell us people cool )


So even if there's a Sports Forum up just for the summer for all the Olympic news alone,
I think it would be well worth it and greatly valued nod nod nod

Your consideration will be much appreciated,

Cheers y'all!

biggrin

The notion is a good one because it keeps both sports fans and sports haters happy

at the same time!

Makes good sense if you think about it.

This idea was brought up a year or two ago by another Orger, but was never seriously considered. It's a better idea than that damn sex forum that used to be here. I don't get the complaint that the sports threads in GD are such a hassle. shrug

Whatever the case, hopefully the next time there are sports threads in any forum the moderation won't get so knee jerk, sensitive, and candylandish that a simple "GTFOOHWTS" results in a post being deleted while allowing the ---> stfu responses to remain. rolleyes disbelief

I don't understand why there was ANY bitching about the NBA Finals thread being sticky. I'm glad it was easy to find smile

Is the GD forum indeed for General Discussion or is it only for Orgers to suck each others nuts all day every day? confused That's what the majority of the forum is filled up with & nobody complains about even the most miniscule threads but ONE simple sports thread is bitched about. neutral I don't get it...

Oh, and I welcome a sports forum lol Da Kangs never get boring! razz

I don't see the need for a seperate forum. The GD forum is big enough to handle them all. There isn't that many sports thread required.

I felt the GD forum was diluted when the Wank Forum was created. I think variety is what makes the GD forum special. smile

And surely that's what sticky threads are for?

I like your point Doc, and ta for your contribution.

One of the main reasons for the Sports Forum suggestion was coz alot of peeps

were complaining about the 'Sticky Sports' threads and other were saying it was clogging up

the GD. There may be more sports threads popping up as well coz of big events like the

Olympics, etc. this summer.

Therefore even a 'temporary' Sports Forum JUST for the summer was an idea wink



Did I ever mention how beautiful I think Scotland 'the land of the brave' is!? licking lol
