Would anyone be in a favor of a General Sports Board in the Sports section?
Perhaps it could involve merging all the general boards we already have plus the Misc. Sports board. None of these boards are incredibly active, but together they might generate more traffic and discussion. Sometimes it feels like this forum has too many sections.
A few reasons why I'm suggesting this
- Some sports-related topics simply don't belong to a particular sport and could easily be discussed here
- Having it's own area at the top of the Sports section could increase visibility to all posters on this board, maybe we could see discussion between posters who normally don't venture out of their particular subforum
- The board would essentially change based on what day/season it is, for example, Saturday would probably be dominated by heavy college football talk, Sunday would involve pro football talk, etc. etc.
- While technically this is a Detroit sports forum, I doubt everyone here is a fan of every Detroit sports team, this could be a good place for existing members to talk about their favorite non-Detroit teams and could be a welcoming place for new non-Detroit fan members
- If we wanted to, we could even include general Michigan/Detroit news in this forum as well (to be honest, I don't know where this discussion happens on here, if at all)
Just a suggestion I thought of today, feel free to add on if you wish, or shoot it down. I just think it would be an interesting experiment and a way to consolidate this place a little bit.
