why do we not have individual forums for these sports?

[mytwocents-28]

Of course there is little to no posting, there is no forum for it!!! Open the forum and then see if it gets traffic. You're not going to see traffic if there is no forum. Duh!

He's talking about before when we actually had a forum for it.

[mytwocents-28]

With that logic, why have any forums at all??? Just lump all sports together!! Really?!?!?!?

Because the sports who actually have forums for themselves generate enough traffic to warrant the need of there own forum.

[dmeast11111]

Yeah I can tell the others are smoking hot with 1 topic... I feel as though the game is being discriminated against because the people who make the choices dislike the game... Murica... Soccer ain't Murican...

[STiger85]

I really think the point has been missed. Before the crash their was little to no activity on the soccer forum, mostly no activity. No schedules, no game, no scores, no standings. That means nobody would come on here and post anything. If you come on here to read what was going on and not see anything, why not post something. If y'all want a thread then by all means start posting. Hey I love soccer, coached it for years, now I come here to find scores and nothing. I think the more activity we get the more apt they are to get a forum.

[dme1111]

So on the other forums the admins post schedules etc.  Maybe yall should allow someone other than a basketball or football fan to be an admin and they would keep soccer all updated.  I think My brother could handle that...

[STiger85]

You don't have to be an Admin to post schedules. Just get the info and post it. That's all it takes. Anyone can do it.

[dme1111]

OK... so what I"m saying is that in the other forums that are PREFERRED, the admins organize and build a following. They do all kinds of previews, histories, schedules, etc. I loved the soccer forum, popped in often to check scores. I do agree no one updated it.  b

You don't have to be a admin/mod to "organize and build a following". Any member can post previews, histories, schedules, etc.

 

What's funny is that the only soccer talk that's been on the site since we came back from server crash is the complaints about not having a separate soccer forum. If soccer is so popular and so important and has such a huge following, why hasn't there been any threads posted in this new forum about soccer games, standings, schedules and so forth?

 

How about show the owner why there should be a soccer forum and not lumped in here with the other sports?

 

BTW, we have a mod who is a huge soccer fan. bullets13

People are used to posting in a specific soccer forum. Most probably don't think of posting in a general forum.

1.  The soccer season was just getting started when the server crashed so there wasn't much to talk about yet.

2.  You act as if it would cost the owner more money to split off into a separate forum.  So what if there isn't much traffic.  Explain the reasoning behind that logic please.  If you haven't noticed, there have been a lot of views since this thread started less than a week ago.  I don't understand your reluctance.

[AggiesAreWe]

To get the site back up as soon as possible, the owner decided to consolidate some sports into one forum to help with the database and the policing of the site. He also wanted to see from  the traffic and interest level, what sports could be separated into their own forums.

 

So far, only complaints have been posted. No one has bothered to post threads about the games, or post any schedules or district standings. That's the stuff he wants to see.

 

I can tell you that the complaining is a big turn off to him. Show him why soccer needs it's own forum.

[dmeast11111]

I don't understand why y'all can't post scores , stats, records and such on this forum?? Why do y'all need a forum just for soccer?? I mean seriously.

Why does any sport needs its own forum? Why would you show preference to one over the other? Football obviously is the big dog. Other than that basketball,softball,volleyball,soccer,track,baseball, are all secondary sports in tx. To me it propagates the mentality in our culture that you are better than others if you play certain sports or activities over another. Typical Friday night lights hs sport fan mentality. Sad...

So 163 views of a thread titled soccer standings in a little over 24 hours doesn't prove there is an interest in a soccer subforum???

A one thread forum?

The owner? If the owner does not know the amount of traffic the soccer forum had before the nth rebuild of this site, I can understand why it keeps going down. So, in reality, the owner is just playing a little game to see how whiny those who frequent the soccer can be for hos kicks. Otherwise, the OWNER would simply add the requested forum (which was there before the crash).

[raideroldtimer]

Why is there no longer a soccer forum anyway? 

[dmeast11111]

Read the thread.. "The owner" doesn't see a need for one...smh..

Fox. You are probably one of the those people who think football is the only sport and America is the middle of the earth which is flat....
If this website wants to survive it needs fans of every sport not just football...

[DoctorDave]

I have been on the soccer forum for years, and now I find out that the owner of this site decides to eliminate the forum. And his reason? Well, good riddance to that jerk. Meaning, I will never participate on this site again.

I am getting too the point of doctor Dave thanks to guys like fox that will not mind their own business but instead gloat and bully like a twelve year old... I will refrain from telling fox what I really think because the language might offend someone... Idiot...
