Why dont you just sticky a "World cup discussion" thread? same purpose stays in sports section there you gooo

there already is

Then whats the point in an extra forum for it if theres already a thread about it? ;s

I am inclined to agree with Wootzeh here, the Sports Forum gets hardly any use apart from for Football - the only football thing to discuss over the next month or so will be the World Cup.

Creating a sub-forum or forum for the World Cup would make the Sports Forum a ghost town, I think it's quite good that the Sports Forum is the centre of all this World Cup action and it's allowing what is usually quite a close-knit section to open up to other users too.

I'm open to opinion though and if most people think it's a good idea I'm willing to reconsider, although I really do think this will benefit the sports forum.

Surley its the world cup forum then if thats all its being used for

Maybe the sports forum should have a sub-forum?

Even though the sports forum rarely gets used, if somebody does wish to use it, their post probably wont get read.

It takes about 30 seconds to create a sub forum (since you can copy permissions). So it would be beneficial and wouldn't require any time to do

Then once the world cup is over, move them to the sports forum

Agreed with Stryderman.
Good Idea, just sticky a thread or two.

I wouldn't want to confine all world cup discussion to one thread though? Generic discussion maybe but certainly not for all the matches, particularly the England matches and the finals.

[Stryderman]

But surely if you created something just for sep matches youd get alot more than the england matches, Youd have someone creating every thread for every game then people creating threads like:
England to win
Greece to win
USA to win
Why england should win
Why USA should win
Whos your fav england player
Whos your fav greek player
Whats been your best goal in the world cup so far
Whats been your fav match in the world cup so far?

When surely that could all just be posted into the sports section, I mean i know its not up to me or anything thats just my opinion i think it would just either get spammed too much or hardly touched.

Hmmm.. a lot of threads being posted.

That's a bad thing????

Give it it's own forum I swear the Olympics got one and they're pretty much the same size events in terms of people following it. I've no doubt you'd get enough posts/threads to make it worth it. It's only for a month after all.
