Suggestions for the sports section

[Jordy]

Although I think your suggestions of three subforums would be perfect, I'm pretty sure that won't be implemented because three subforums are quite a bit, especially as they've been cutting down as of recent.

My suggestion:
Rename the forum to just "Sports". Hobbies can indeed go to "Discuss Anything".

Create one sub-forum called "Football" with various stickied threads, including:
- Post your football team
- Post transfer rumours
- Post 09-10 football kits

It's a reasonable suggestion and compromise IMO and would considerably sort the section out

On the topic of knowing what team you support, -Heart is hoping for similar to the badges on this forum: http://www.finalscoreforums.com/foru...topic=20232&hl=

That would take a lot of work for a non-football dedicated forum.

Those badges are cool, but it would probably never happening, one things for sure, the sports section deserves more and needs updating, come on MODs, do some useful stuff for us.

I know, I'm more into having it in the top right with it being only viewable in that forum.

Totally agree, the RS section also has four sections? and for what? it's not even popular anymore.

Something needs to be done though.

I spoke to Garion & he's gonna look through this thread tomorrow and see what can be done

I think at the least you'll get your "Which team do you support" thread.

Don't say I don't do anything for you xoxo

The forum needs to be changed though, look at the poll results, the section needs restructuring, people agree, we need change.

I post in there daily. I don't see anything wrong with the forum the way it is. It's one of the most active forums so when you think about it - it can't be all that bad because it's constantly posted in.

You kinda contradict yourself saying that hobbies should have it's own forum and then you say that nobody even posts about hobbies. I think that's what you were saying anyway. I have only read the original post and not the replies.

I don't think it should be changed. Maybe whack a few stickied threads in but no need for any drastic changes.

[StefanWolves]

Read the whole thread.

It makes perfect sense to implement some of these changes.

Do not want this thread to die! these changes need to happen.

Come on, that's the most blatant bump I've seen on this forum in years! Talk about shameless! Threads in this section take about a week to get off the first page anyway, there wasn't any need for that

Removing hobbies from the parent forum title and creating a football subforum (or even a football parent forum since it's so active) is much simpler than the mess of subforums you suggested imo. That solves all the problems you raised as well as keeping the number of forums down (ish ).
