Re: fantasy sports forum?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm gonna play devil's advocate to myself. Reasons I would be in favor of this split 1. Forum would likely create more traffic between the fantasy forum and sports forum than the current sports forum alone does. 2. Even though the sports regulars I talk to all like the fantasy stuff sticking in the sports forum, this could be one of those things where they object now, but once its setup they'd post a ton in the new forum anyways. 3. Honestly if the new forum is set up I'd want to mod it. Can I call dibs since its stuff thats already currently in a forum that I mod? So how about this. Since the sports forum is the one most directly effected by it, I will hold a vote old school survivor style where only posters with >100 votes reg'd before 5/1/07 and with at least 5 posts in sports in the last month vote in the open if they'd like to see a fantasy sports forum split off. If the split wins we split it off. Does that sound fair to everyone? Ya know the idea of actually letting the people that the split would effect decide whether we should split it or not instead of the usual way of going about these things? [/ QUOTE ] why do you need to do a vote? open it up and mod it with NT. done. the sheep will follow

Why would you rip content out of a forum without the support of that forum's mod or its posters? Every successful split of forums has come with the pre-existing support of the posters from the forum it was split out of. p.s. You have zero posts in the sports forum in the last year, probably ever. Your opinion should not even remotely be taken into account in this decision.
