'Sports and games' subforum in GD

AI Thread Summary
A proposal for a dedicated 'Sports and Games' subforum in GD forums was discussed, focusing on the desire for a centralized space to talk about sports and ongoing matches like the PF football league. However, participants noted that current traffic levels are insufficient to justify a separate subforum, as there are typically few sports-related threads. While the World Cup generates some interest, overall engagement in sports discussions remains low. The idea of creating a subforum was acknowledged as a way to streamline conversations, but the consensus leaned towards maintaining the existing structure due to limited activity. Ultimately, the suggestion was appreciated, but practicality regarding forum traffic was emphasized.

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?

'This' refers to sports ?
 
As V50 said: there is not enough traffic for a separate subforum.
 
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:
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
