Should there be a seperate ATOT SPORTS forum?

[Led Zeppelin]

I get annoyed when people from ATOT bitch and moan about the abundence of sports related topics, so, for us sports fans, should we have our own seperate forum, or just continue to annoy the masses of ATOT peeps who don't like the mention of the words Red Sox, Yankees, Braves, Cubs, Twins, A's, Patriots, Cowboys, Raiders, Celtics, Lakers, etc?

Edit: Like our Florida bretheren, the polls didn't seem to be working, so it was deleted, but my answer was yes as well.

You forgot Giants (San Francisco Baseball Giants, that is)

Go Giants!!!!

Ummm... I can't vote for some reason.

 

[Glitchny]

poll = non functional

 

[Mathcop]

Same here. I would vote yes, but the voting machines aren't working. Is that because I'm in Florida? Time to start counting chads!

This is a computer discussion forum.

Personally I would prefer an automotive (even mechanical) forum before a sports forum.

If you do that then do you need a car section, one for just polls, and other specific categories?

ROFL, I can't vote either.

Good point. Maybe I'll change my vote. What the hell, with the current voting machine irregularities, I'll never be caught!

Since this is a computer discussion forum, anything non-computer should be in Off Topic I suppose. But then how do you explain the political discussion forum?

Maybe we should go there to discuss the ATOT voting machine scandal.

 

[Torghn]

Yes, but it should also include all the car threads too.

Hey thanks Led Zepp. I think you may be the first person to quote one of my posts. I finally feel like I belong! LOL. I am sure you are the first one to publicly laugh at one of my posts even though they are ALL so funny. Hmmmm, imagine that.

Anyway, thanks again.

how about they ditch the politics forum (and ban most of the people in there) and make a "sterotypical male" forum with sports, cars, motorcycles, and pics? threads...

Red Sox are gonna go 0-3 cuz they suck and don't even deserve to be in the playoffs. Can't wait till the Yankees buy off all their closers and win another championship while Boston has nothing to look forward to except Bruins hockey.

You may be on to something here Stark. What would we males EVER post pics of?

 

[Supermercado]

If we don't have a car forum, we won't get a sports forum. In my opinion, it'd be nice to mix the two together. I understand why that stuff is left to Off Topic since this is a computer discussion forum. It would be nice, though.

I hope to God the Yankees take Byun-Hun Kim off our hands.....PLEASE DO US THAT FAVOR!!!!!!

Sports should be separated.

 

[Parrotheader]

I enjoy sports too, but there's MAYBE 1 sports thread for every 5-6 car threads on avg. And that's only because we're in the heart of the sports year with football hitting full-stride and baseball in the playoffs. It's not like that in the spring.

If anything, an Automotive forum would be needed first out of all the generall off topic topics. But personally, I don't think one is necessary for either. Both are more laid-back topics appropriate for an off-topic forum. I am VERY thankful, however, that politics has its own forum now. Before that was created, Off-topic was getting overrun with nasty political threads which always ended up with bitter arguments from extremists from both sides.

No, screw sports.

I must say that you Red Sox fans are loyal if nothing else. Gotta salute you for that.

If it were up to me, I would NEVER have Kim pitch in another post season game as long as he lives.

 

To hell with the car forum, I'd be at my PC 24 hours a day trying to keep up, SCREW THAT !

 

[Mathcop]

Speaking of sports and Florida and the San Francisco Giants (well, I was speaking of those things LOL) - I'm going to Game 4 tomorrow in South Florida, Giants at Marlins. I'm in Central Florida, about 4 hours away, but it will be worth it. Go Giants!!!!!

Actually, it will be worth it if I get to see the Giants close out the Series 3-1 when I am there. If the Marlins sweep the next two, I'll be pissed. LOL

Well speaking as an A's fan I think the Sox should have him start on Saturday
