Wasn't this not done forever because the entire 3adownlow community voted against it?

No, only about 70% voted against it initially. And the numbers have been steadily dropping everytime we ask. We're going to try it and see how it works out.

Last season, we moved the non-sports topics DURING FOOTBALL to the suggestion forum. This year, it's been renamed.

It would make more sense to make it HS Football and then Everything Else. Because it seems like you would want to easily be able to look just at HS football threads

Sports are sports. It really is not that big of a deal.

How many HS football threads do you start anyway?

Because when people were complaining, it was about having to weed through all non-hs football threads to find stuff about HS football.

once HS football kicks off and IF we see that pro/college/any other sporting thread is taking over the board we'll move them over here so that there is only HS football talk on the main board. i doubt that happens, but it's an easy fix.

I'd have to go look, but my memory thinks your suggestion was made during a time that there weren't a lot of sports going on. We did actually move (or tried to, anyway) all non-sports thread to this forum LAST football season. The only thing that has changed is the name. Once football is over, it's highly likely things will go back to the way they were. :)

if you talk football on this board we might just make a new label just for you! :D chances are you'd have to share it with a few others.

how immature are you that you can't even say that you think Sinton66 was being immature and that he looked goofy, in your opinion.

We are glad to help our members out in almost any way possible, which includes adding a non-sports forum just for the football season. The more complaining that occurs, the longer we will require non sports posts in this forum AFTER the season ends, errr.. Maybe we will randomly move different threads between the two forums instead, to make everyone have to click on both sports and non sports forums. :D Can I be joking, or am I being serious? hmmmm. :thinking: :D

We have had plenty of M&G's that weren't sports related.....Inks lake, for instance.

In my opinion, for whatever it's worth, 66 wasn't calling ANYONE names.

Carter put that this new forum was "lame" and EV said it was a "huge mistake"....and 66 just took their own words and made them their user title for a little bit....BIG WHOOPTY DO!!!!

Heck, we are told to loosen up and when we do, we are told we are immature.

I wish my user title could be, "damned if we do and damned if we don't"

Tony...can you make that happen??

Now you know how the die-hards feel about having to weed through the garbage threads. I'm sure THEY feel that's a big waste of THEIR time. (In fact, many have told us so).

I bet you can "tough it out" for three months. If you can't, perhaps you're wasting more than your time.

Granted, you are correct (relatively speaking), but some of us come here to communicate with the many friends we have made...it isn't all about football...and pissing matches...

Give up, I know change is difficult for some people, but embrace the positive aspects instead of just dwelling on the negative...umkaay?

So far, I haven't had lots to say about my team....it's hard to discuss somebody elses team all the time!!


ditto...not all of us are from LH, Celina, Bwood, Snyder, Sweetwater and even Sinton:eek:

We love the sport and support our teams regardless...but you are correct, there isn't much to say at times.:) Okay, most of the time....;)

Trust me, if there is, I will be posting on the other forum.:D
