Well we hope you'll enjoy the new Sports Forum.

We've moved the existing sports threads from General Chat to here, and if you can think of suggestions for additional topics to be added please post your ideas here. smile.gif
Andres
I know this forum seems rather empty right now, but it seems most of the interest in Sports were contained in a few threads. So, please leave ideas here on threads you'd like so we can expand this place a bit more.
blitzkrieg
yay, a sports forum.
edit, are posts added to our count when we post here
The Underbelly
Looks good. Hope it'll turn out great.

Yes but if people continually spam, as mentioned in the rules above, we'll remove their access to the sports forum.
Andres
Of course everthing is on trial basis. Right now we are going to be removing individual people from posting if needed, rather than removing post counts from everyone. That way everyone starts off with a clean slate, and the entire forum doesn't have to pay for someone else's stupidity.
mechanicalman
Good job guys. thumbsup.gif
randomness
what about a "what's your favourite sport?" thread? or is it too similar to the what sports do you like to play/watch thread?
Mrs Hahn

or a poker thread

mechanicalman
A Cricket thread. Especially with the World Cup coming up.

yep, I had a cricket thread in mind but forgot to add it confused.gif
I'll do it in a bit.

Ok. Thanks.

Ooh, a snooker thread, definitely.
Bastard
Awesome! woot.gif


We need a snowboarding thread.
The Doctor
^ there's one woot.gif but it's under winter sports.



What about a racquet sports thread? Like squash, tennis etc. Cause I think they're more underplayed than say football so they could all be merged into one thread
The_original_mrs_cool
firstly, can i say thank you very very much. You know how much ive wanted this since the world cup thread and its wicked that your giving us this chance. The genuine sports fans wont let you down, i just know it. and ill personally do anything i can to bitch-whip the people who abuse it.

maybe we could subdivive the football thread into Champions league, FA cup, Carling cup and just standard league. and maybe it should just be the premiership, it should cover all leagues. It would subdivide the mish mash in the ELP thread.

Then if people were interested maybe we could spread to a bundesliga (sp?) thread, or la liga... ect.
Amanda
Well the idea at the moment is to keep the EPL thread till the F.A quarter finals ( around March ).
Then I'll add a new thread just for the end of the season, and to incorporate the cups etc.

The Premiership thread seems to be going well for now.
The_original_mrs_cool
^
sounds good to me, just a suggestion because it all tends to get lumped into the football thread.

So much footy pinch.gif



can we have a sumo wrestling thread?! woot.gif

Well I was thinking maybe a world football thread might be popular ?
To cover all the non-English teams etc.
The Underbelly
The Australian Open starts next week, so maybe a tennis thread.

You mean like darts, wrestling, judo, etc ??
I'm not sure what exactly would go in there so some ideas would be cool.
Anka
What about a volleyball thread?
St_Jimmy_10
Maybe an offical WWE thread?

A thread for childhood fun and games/sports you loved smile.gif

Sumo wrestling and tiddlywinks.



Ooh, about judo and wrestling - what about if they were all grouped under "contact sports" or something. I know ruggers is a contact sport but I mean sort of like a one-on-one contact sport. Like taikwando and karate and all the many many more asian wrestling names they have

is that stuff on tv etc enough to make it a viable thread ?

OMG thank you so much. happy.gif

But why was the sub-title of my dream team thread re-named to "Aussie Football" ? laugh.gif

I have no idea, it was like that when it was in general.
If its not Aussie footie I'll take it off.

Thanks. The AFL's kinda shit bar the final.
Compulsive Habits
Yay! Sports forum! Are there any more forums we could possibly add??
Marie_GD
definetly{sp?} a inline rollerblade thread!
dumbstruck27
Ok this is now my favourite part of the whole forum! How about an Aussie Sports forum or something? Because I wouldn't mind discussing AFL and rugby league with some other Aussies but I think 2 seperate threads might be too much, seeing as no one other than Aussies would really care about those sports.
Amanda
That seems fair enough, a combined Aussie Rules and Rugby League thread sounds like a good idea and there's bound to be some interest.

Horse racing when the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown are here again? wub.gif
madie
I think this is a gay idea. There is only like -20 sports threads.

Don't ban me for saying this rolleyes.gif

You need to move The Ashes thread, but I guess you don't want to be reminded laugh.gif
Amanda
Haha, yep smile.gif
Well that's over now and any further discussion can go in the cricket thread.
We've moved all we're likely to and anything else can stay in general and when its found it will be closed.
