does anyone think there would be interest in this? would it be warranted? i am usually not crazy about making new forums, but here is the case for it:
1. sports forum guys complain when people start new threads for fantasy questions. there is a single fantasy thread going (which i started when people bitched about all my noob fantasy questions) that has gotten so long people don't seem to check up on it or answer questions all that often. 2. since early spring there have been over 40 fantasy threads, some of them quite long. i think we are well over 1000 posts on fantasy sports alone for that time period. presumably, a well-advertised fantasy sports forum could generate even more traffic, since people wouldn't be discouraged from starting new threads with their Q's. 3. it's around the time where people do midseason leagues for baseball, and people are starting to think about football as well. draft time tends to be the busiest time, so it seems there's a good chance the forum could get a jump-start from that, which always helps with a new forum. 4. we can start leagues within the forum as well, which some folks did in sporting events proper, another good way to generate community. i would volunteer to moderate, or be equally happy to let someone else do it. i don't think it would require quite the heavy hand that OOT does.

A fantasy football forum would be good for the Playground in August.

If I'm not mistaken, there are currently fantasy sports posts in betting (?) and sporting events. Maybe some other forums. I don't think these posts really add to these forums in terms of bringing people in and creating more posts beyond the posts on the topic. In sporting events they tend to be irritating to most posters.
In other words, adding the forum wouldn't IMO take away from the other forums and posters. It would be highly beneficial to people interested and allow a lot more topics to be discussed as many people don't like huge umbrella threads. |

I'm skeptical there would be much activity in a fantasy sports forum outside of August (for football) and March (for baseball). |
