If we had another forum

The fact that the site isnt riddled with forums is what helps make it the best on the web., but should a decision be made to create another forum (I can imagine Keveh cringing as he reads this

) What subject would you like it to on the heading?

Other Sports. Lets keep the football with the football, and everything else separate.

Surely there should be a 'Natasha' option. I suspect that would be popular

It might be good to separate other footie, other sports and general banter. Sometimes it is better to have more forums with fewer threads to contend with.

I was thinking that, we could call it the 'Recycle Bin'

What about a forum for supporters from other clubs? "build it and they will come

"

Or maybe we could have a forum for people's second identities

Other Sports Forum, Please.

The current set up is too "cluttered"

I find it strange that so many have voted for other sports. Apart from The Ashes, there really havent been any other sports cluttering up the forum. Unless I should have put other sports and football.

Then again there is that other strange mystery sport 'soccer' that I keep hearing about!!

I know all about soccer! Its a mainly American thing (though it is also popular in Japan and in some parts of Scotland).

It is just another name for Baseball.

Incidentally, do you think that the splitting up of the non-LFC fora on RAWK has been a positive move? Obviously with almost 15,000 members there, it's a completely different ballgame, but I would still be interested to hear what you think.

To be honest my initial impression of here, and then reading this question, is that you're probably a long way off needing another forum, or the need to split it up. That's basically due to a matter of size and posting volume. While the figures seem reasonable for a minority site only a year or so old, I think it would overly complicate things.

Many people complained when the old 'Boozer' went from RAWK and was split up, because they lost some of the fast paced nature of the place. I'd say that TW is some way off needing to split the OT part of the forum due to excessive post-loads. Threads don't get lost in here as easily as they do/did on RAWK/larger fora.

As for RAWK, I think it was fast approaching the stage where the OT bit had to be split. Whether I'd've done it the same way or into as many different areas is a matter for debate, but it needed doing. Eventually you get used to change, but I still find it a tad too fragmented for my liking. I'd've thought the same could have been achieved with 3 or 4 fora, and not 6, but that's just splitting hairs.
