brianicoleman Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I have noticed a recent surge in sports threads and I think Neowin should have a forum where we can all congregate. With MLB playoffs, and the NFL season a couple weeks in, and the NBA season right around the corner, I strongly insist on this forum and would greatly appreciate this; and I don?t think I'm the only one:yes:s: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Of course, but then during the summer it would be dead for me (I only really watch football and hockey) but yea a sports forum would be sweet :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.. a sports forum would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Of course, but then during the summer it would be dead for me (I only really watch football and hockey) but yea a sports forum would be sweet :D yeah but theres plenty of offseason stuff going on that could keep football and hockey discussion going year round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Yeah, there are trades and drafts going on then.. I am all for it, then I could rant on how bad my team is losing (fantasy.nfl.com teams) each week ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 this has been tried and shot down. We've Proved in General Discussion that Sports are a Major Interest to the members but neowin doesn't want to create a seperate forum for that. You can use GD or SOAPBOX.

maplecookie Veteran Posted September 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 29, 2003 Why was it "shot down"?? Did no one use it? Or was it just hard to mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I vote no, I come here to get away from people who don't want to talk about computers and tech stuff. Not to talk about sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Veteran Posted September 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 29, 2003 This concept has been tossed around already, it just isn't going to happen unless the majority of Neowin members have a sudden desire to have a sports forum. :) Just make threads as they are needed... I for one foresee the coming of "The Official Neowin NHL '03/'04 Thread" coming soon to GD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsgeek Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I like the idea of a sports forum. Maybe it could be a sub-forum somewhere? Media, General Discussion and The Lounge seem like possible places for a sub-forum :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Why was it "shot down"?? Did no one use it? Or was it just hard to mod? no it never existed, the idea was shot down before one was ever created.. which appears to be happening again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vip Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 i would love to see it .. being that hockey is about to start ( GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) .. but, this is a tech/news site .. so i doubt it would work .. unless we get a majority vote??

CatnipOligarchy Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 unless we get a majority vote?? which we have.. it could work, plenty of sports fans and plenty of topics to discuss.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ceman Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I want to know from one of the admins or moderators what exactly would have to happen to get a sports forum. Maybe some requirements for a new forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Yeah, 50% of the voters want a sports forum (only 22 users voted but still the 50% is valid!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudEngineer Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I've been thinking of having a temp sports forum for the European championship soccer. Thats a good idea (Y) But how about just allowing football (soccer) posts in there just to **** off everyone else :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
