Post by: Villan For Life on June 07, 2010, 09:08:50 AM: Hi mods

Would it be possible to have an Other Sports forum? There are several popular OT topics about cricket, formula 1, baseball etc. We also have topics that run for a couple of weeks such as Wimbledon, British Open etc.

Could they all be pulled together in one place?

What do you think?

Thanks!

Ihave also noticed on a couple of other teams forums they have a tradesman forum, where if you want a plumber, mechanic etc the lads can put their name up there

Not sure if I like the idea of splitting sports stuff out from the regular OT.

What's the criteria for moving threads ? My baseball and Ice Hockey threads were moved but the NFL one is still in OT

Why on earth would the "Wimbledon" thread be in the "Sports" section ? Such threads are hardly ever used to actually discuss tennis. There's far more important things to discuss during such tournaments.

The only criteria l used was to go back over the last few weeks looking for sports topics, the one you have mentioned was last posted to on the 12th May, and l had not gone back that far yet. I'm happy to move that over and any others that get suggested.

I'm sure your post count won't suffer too much because of it :-)
