If an OT forum were created, should the sports threads move there or stay here?

Altough I am not a very frequent poster, I consider myself one of the grandpaws of this forum.

 

As a wrinkled grandpaw I say: why don't we keep ALL OT's into our own KC? Dave knows how to handle them very well.

 

In other words: Keep our KC as it is. :thu:

Get him!!!

 

p.s. Here's a suggestion, don't read the sports threads. (Or at least go out and get yourself a Lakers jersey.)

When George Bush, Tom Brokaw, and The Pope win three straight NBA titles (and 4 out of 5 come this June) then come back and talk to us about it. :bor:

I remember our threads about The Lord of the Rings (movie) and am realy looking forward to other threads like this.

 

Why should we discuss these OT threads outside the KC?

You bring up a very good point, and something I never thought about. Sometimes I want to ask a question or get some advice that may not be about keyboards, and I want to ask the people here. Example: If I get the chance to go to California some day I want to ask the people HERE where I should go, what I should see, safe places to stay, and how to avoid bad traffic areas. Why ask here? Because a lot of people here live in or used to live in California and I trust their opinions. It is sort of sad to think we cannot post an occasional thread like Are you cooking for Thanksgiving or tell everyone Im a father now. As said before, we have never really had a problem with OT stuff on the Keyboard forum. What little OT stuff we do have seems to add to the friendly, family atmosphere. I dont know that the new OT Forum will be as friendly. So how strict is this ban going to be? I much prefer Mayberry DB to Terminator DB.

I don't think this forum has ever had a problem with OT posts, the KC rocks and should continue as it has for the past few years.

 

Latest word on SSS is that there will not be a new forum, SSS is the off-topic forum (that is mostly music related).

 

So, this thread was fun but probably not really necessary...heya, nice to see ya :)

Yep.

 

I started it because I made a statement on the other forum that most folks in the KC are cool with the sports threads, and I thought it might not be a bad idea to check that hypothesis.

 

It appears I was right... :thu:

What? You? Overbearing? Say it ain't so! I know it must be tough to break out of your naturally quiet, wallflower self, but you're doing just fine.

There is a discussion up on SSS about
.....

 

Wow, people are still reading that stuff? :P:cool::eek:

 

By all means keep 'em here. I don't participate much, but I do lurk. And god knows I don't want to lurk into that whole SSS, "let's-kill-each-other-over-politics" thing. :rolleyes:

Leave the OTs in place. As it has been said, friendships and aquaintances have been made in this forum.

 

The occasional OT thread makes for a nice diversion from time to time.

 

As for myself I enjoy reading the posts from people I have come to know in a roundabout way.

 

I have been perusing this forum for a long time and although I don't participate very much I thoroughly enjoy the contributions of others.

 

CLINK! CLINK!

Has a full-time lurker and part-time poster I say leave it as it is. This area is kept balanced, clutter is kept to a minimum, and it's very easy to skip threads that are OT as there are very few of them as compared to some other places I won't mention ;)

 

I used to play baseball and soccor but to this day I still don't understand the fascination with watching other people play sports.

 

.........I'm gonna get hit in the head with a lot of rotten tomatoes...I just know it ;)
