Beijing Olympics Forum Category.

[RyanDOT]

With 6 days until the Olympics, only 1 thread has been made in the specific forum on it and even that was just to promote one users' website. I am yet to see another thread on the Olympics so how it warrants its own forum I don't know.

In addition, those who are arguing the point that HBB got it's own forum - this was because Habbo wanted fansites to run massive coverage of the event and this is a Habbo forum (the point you're all forgetting) therefore massive events on Habbo, such as HBB deoes warrant its own forum.

So how comes HabboxForum has got an category 'Big Brother' which is held like once a year. Olympics comes every 4 years, and when the Beijing Olympics are over, the management can delete the category if they want to.

Olympics are one of the major 'tournaments' in the world. Big Brother is like only for the UK and some other countries.

I know this is an Habbo-Related Fansite, but why's the point making over 200 threads in the 'Sports & Hobbies' section which is related to the Olympics, and you get messed with the football season, cricket season as well.
Well if you have your own forum category, it be much more easier and see what countries won what field event, track event etc.

The Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world. It would be stupid to say that there will be no Olympic interest from forum users.

Big Brother is bigger and has more media coverage. If there was no Big Brother forum on here, then there would be multiple threads in Television about Big Brother because as a teenager-based website, that is the sort of thing they're into whereas a niche such as the Olympics isn't. Like I said, there has been one, maybe 2 threads about the Olympics and there's 6 days to go. To me, that isn't a good enough reason to open up a forum and I expect there to be like 10 threads throughout.

A major sporting event that has just passed, Euro 2008, didn't get it's own forum but there was multiple threads in the Sports forum because that's where it belonged and it was on for like 2 weeks, same with the Olympics whereas Big Brother goes on for 3 months. If you were to make a seperate forum for every major sporting event then it would just be silly. Yes the Olympics come round every 4 years but there's still not a big enough fanbase or demand for it.

I'm sure, with 6 days until the biggest sporting event in the world ever, there will have been more than 2 threads. I mean, feel free to prove me wrong because I like to the Olympics and always have done but I don't feel there's enough demand.

If the sports forum gets flooded with Olympic threads then a forum might be created.

BB has its own forum because when it is on (twice a year) it is very busy.

Euro 2008 is nothing. You just watch the football and thats all.

In the olympics you can see Javelin, 1500m, 800m etc.
Different events.

Nearly most of the world will be watching the Olympics supporting their own country, seeing whose winning it so far.
So there must be demand because everyone should watch atleast 1 sporting event in the olympics.

Big Brother is entertaining, but it only shows the house etc. Whereas Olympics show the most talented athletes in the world competing for the Gold Medal and be on the podium.
Not only we have the Olympics, we also have the Disabled Olympics (Forgot the name of it). So you can see also famous disabled athletes.

There are barely any threads on the Olympics though? When (if) there are loads of threads they will probably make a forum for it. All the threads on the first two pages in the Big Brother forum have posts in them created in the last 5 days, if it didn't have its own forum the television forum would be full of bb threads.

Which is why I said "When (if) there are loads of threads they will probably make a forum for it."

Was it popular last time? (if this was open then)

That's a very narrow minded comment considering that football is the biggest sport in the world, and thus, through the narrow-mindedness I can see we're not going to get through to you so I'm going to stop.

I'll say though, if there are a lot of threads then go for it, but there isn't yet.

I know its one of the major football tournaments in the world, i know that because i follow football myself.
But comparing to the Olympics, Euro would of been nothing.

Also more people will watch the Olympics instead of watching the new season of 2008/09
