Sports Threads

[Charismatic]

Trust me it's helping and my cause isn't what you think it is, you aren't smart, don't act like you know what's up.

[Charismatic]

Weaboo logic is fail logic.

Nah son, you're just mad because you know I'm right.
Deep down inside you want to admit it but you can't because you're in front of your sports buddies.
Go ahead drink your whiskey and smoke your cigars, one day someone will think you're cool.

[Kuya]

unless your cause is just to troll =/

Now you get it!

Create a sports sub forum and let Charismatic and Senoska Mod it.

Create a teary-eyed troll sub forum and let Charismatic and Senoska Mod it.

Fixed for what's really on your mind.

Gonna have to agree with the whole "One thread per season is bullshit" unless you really want 300+ Pages worth of posts clogging it up. We do different weeks for the NFL just because there's so much that goes on. Hell, we only had one thread for the entire College Football season until the bowls came around.

I understand how multiple threads could be an issue (I guess), but I think we all know what this is about.

On the note of anime threads in the Media section... there actually is only one Anime thread for it all. Some people just randomly make others for other announcements since they get lost in the massiveness of the Anime Thread.

Also, who really gives a fuck about what Charismatic posts anyway, rofl. The world is like one big bridge for him to troll around under. Plus, quoting The Lonely Island. Nice.

Can I please for the love of god mod a TO or a Dallas Cowboy section plz? This will quell my anger.

We already have that forum =/

If you guys are going to need multiple threads each week then that sounds like something for a subforum.

I think that this will set up too much trolling. Miz would be a good mob for sports. Oh, I mean mod.

Seriously, Him and Tyche.

If we removed sports threads from General Discussion... what would that leave in general? Random stories about thirteen year olds who look eight fucking an alien lookalike and having a baby? Religion/Government stuff? The FOD/Random Image threads? :/ I just don't like the idea is all. The sports threads in General cause me to look at the other topics in General, but remove those, and there's really little to no reason to check General anymore.

That's my opinion anyway.

A sub-forum with threads on various subjects on each and every sport is gonna suck.

One of the biggest sports related forums (Yankees only) I regularly visit uses one main sub-forum where there's a megathread on each player/coach/GM and a smaller sub-forum to house topics that aren't really thread worthy, but good conversation pieces. You could follow that pattern and make a sub-forum for a bunch of megathreads regarding the more popular sports and allow other crap to be made into threads.

.....but I think the current "system" is fine how it is.

or just do it how SAS over at somethingawful does it.

That is only for one sport - pro football.

College football has one thread for the season, so does NBA, so does NHL and MLB. Other threads about sports pop up from time to time, i.e. "Alex Rodriguez did steroids" for shit like that (akin to "XXX actress shows her cooch getting out of a vehicle" not being in that actress's show's/movie's thread), but when you're actually talking about the games only football does it in more than just one master thread. Considering we put 10+ pages on each week's NFL thread, I think it's warranted.

Is "cutting down on the # of physical threads" an actual forum concern or are people just making that up?

I definatly remember UFC threads coming up every few days. It was very annoying since they had random names so I always clicked on them wondering what it was.

Hey, I agree that people shouldn't make threads about sporting events without it being clear what sporting event it's about.

Good to see we're on the same page.

Anyway, re: MMA threads, ...who really cares whether 2-week-old thread gets bumped or new one gets created? As long as they aren't on the front page at the same time for more than a day...who cares?

Hey good negotiations start with people agreeing on something.

[Mizango]

Agreed, but this makes no sense. I say you guys move this shit to spam and let us rape it to fucking hell.

I just dont see the point, might as well make a medical section. How about a News sections and phase away general altogether?

One Piece is awesome!

There, we agreed on something. Good start! I do agree about the UFC stuff as well. I'd click em wondering what they are too, lol.
