    i don't see the point in separating the other sports if the texans/astros/dynamo forum stays as is.

    texans/astros/dynamo/uh
    all other sports

    I agree with my fellow "keep it as is" friend up here. :eek:

    I also have a suggestion:

    • Other Sports *besides Rockets or NBA (Major Category)
      • Houston - Texans/Astros/Dynamo/UH and other Houston sports by itself, (sub category)
      • Sports from all others: NFL, MLB, MLS (sub category)

    I'd like to see boring dull baseball separated from fun exciting football

    I would like a Texans+Football forum, an Astros+Baseball forum and that's it.

    On my ideal Clutchfan.net, the Texans+Football forum would represent college football, high school football, soccer (be it EPL, national team, or MLS), and of course the NFL and Texans. There isn't that much football (in all those incarnations) talk outside of the current "Houston Sports" forum, so it wouldn't be like the forum would be jam packed with threads, but it would be full.

    The Astros+Baseball forum would probably be a little light, but I've found we have some great posters in the Houston Sports forum and we've had some compelling Astros conversations in there. The "Astros Prospects" thread was particularly good.

    We have posters from all over the big blue marble. 99% of them are Rockets fans, but they could also be Clemson football fans, Man U fans, or (god forbid) Yankees fans. It would be nice for them to be able to release their pessamism, overreactions, and irrational opinions about all their favorite teams on one site! Ha ha...

    I love the idea Clutch... you're the man. This board has never gotten stagnant and that's one of the millions of reasons I love it.

    I really like the idea of getting the soccer threads out of the hangout.

    But I do agree with the few people that say keep it as is. If we are going to separate, I hope to see a soccer forum. However that'll probably get like 2 views per day.

    No, it won't. There's soccer YEAR ROUND whether it's EPL, La Liga, MLS, FMF, or just International "friendlies", unlike seasons of baseball (only summer to fall), basketball (fall to spring), football (fall to winter), because teams play all the time.

    Tell me what other sport with national leagues has "year-round" playing? :confused:

    I had to google FMF... got it! But my point was that it probably wouldn't generate as much interest from the CFnet community in general and the soccer forum wouldn't generate as much viewership like a football thread would. It's unfortunate I guess.

    Maybe we could have a merged forum of soccer and ping pong. I love ping pong! They don't show it in North America, but where I'm at they show a lot of ping pong matches.

    I like this idea. Keep the Houston sports forum then just make a forum for all other sports. Seems like the simple thing to do but I am probably overlooking something major. :)

    there are a lot of who are fans of the Rockets, but don't have any particular interest in other Houston teams. that said, we might want to learn about them, and having the Texans in the same forum as the Cowboys/Titans, might induce some of us old-school guys to to get interested.

    keep basketball as is, but don't make other sports forums Houston specific. keep it simple:

    Sports
    Football​
    Baseball​
    All other sports​

    Agree with this arrangement. There is no need to split up football talk into multiple forums (Houston Texans - NFL Dish - NCAA).

    For that matter, I don't see the need for NBA Dish to be separate from college basketball and international basketball. A lot of times, discussion in the college/international basketball section relates to NBA prospects. I would suggest:

    Feedback

    Hoops:
    - Rockets Talk
    - Basketball (talk NBA, college, international basketball leagues)

    Other Sports:
    - Football
    - Baseball
    - Soccer
    - Other

    Hangout
    - Toilet Humor
    - **** Fighting
    - Fantasy Basketball
    - Ads

    Cockfighting, durvasa? Really?

    Just kidding, but I like this concept. Although I'd rather see something more like

    Feedback

    Hoops
    Rockets Talk
    NBA/College/FIBA

    Other Sports
    Football
    Baseball
    Soccer, Hockey, Golf etc.
    Fantasy Sports

    Hangout
    Lobby
    Tech (since there seem to be a fair number of tech threads)
    D&D
    Classifieds
