'Sports and games' subforum in GD

  • Thread starter PhysicoRaj
  • Start date
In summary, there is a suggestion to create a 'Sports and games' subforum in the GD forums where users can discuss sports and ongoing matches, such as the PF football league. However, some users believe there is not enough traffic for a separate subforum and that the World Cup is the only major event that generates enough interest for dedicated threads. Overall, the idea is appreciated but it may not be necessary due to the limited amount of sports-related discussions on the forum.

How about a 'Sports and games' subforum in GD forums? A place where one can discuss about sports and ongoing matches, like for example the PF football league. I think it would be nice to have sports threads in one place rather than just generally on the GD forum. Or does any think of a better place for that? Opinions are welcome..
What do you think?

We create new sections in response to message traffic. This has two threads and 100 posts today.

'This' refers to sports ?

Thanks for the suggestion PhysicoRaj! Usually we don't have many sports threads so the forum would be quite vacant. The World Cup is so internationally popular that even PF can host a few threads, but otherwise, we don't talk too much sports :)

Yes, I understand the point. Just a thought appeared to me that the creation of such a forum would provide people a chance to share their info on an existing thread rather than opening a general one every time. You all have a valid point and I accept that.. thanks for the opinion :approve:
