popular sports and single topic threads

why can't we have a sports thread sticky so all grand prix, footy, golf, n stuff are all together

Just my opinion

i've just been told that its fa cup day today and that its quite big dunno

- i'll come back to that later rolleyes

but as a non fan - even i wouldn't object to a thread about it as i can see how popular it will be. it would be nice to see it contained to one tho; then at least people know where it it so they can either find or avoid it.
personally, i think the fa cup should have it's own thread, then be (possibly) locked when it's finished. the world cup "rounds" (??)/build up ?? sections ?? could be the same.
grand prix should/could have one per race, locked on Monday evening
if a major golf match - the same
if we did another "davej" avatar challenge - the same
etc etc
the biggest problem with "one single" topic threads is that when they grow and grow to 20/30/40 pages, they become difficult to follow, easilysidetracked, and virtually impossible for newer members/first time readers to be expected to read in full.
forgive me - fingers/hands very sore today - but too stubborn to accept enough help :lol2:
i've moved this to a thread of it's own in the hope that the fa cup thread doesn't get bogged down in site poloitics wink

can understand that Dammy. Again its about people's choice -whether they read a thread or not.
BLW Stop being stubborn & ask for help lol

I suggest this to the Grand Prix lock up Mod, lol

13 May 2006

The conversation I had last week with one of the Mods kind of went down this route.
The initial outcome was
Grand Prix thread for each Grand Prix (as it's at least a week between each race)
1 Thread for the duration of the World Cup (as there are matches every day)
1 Thread for Wimbledon (as there are matches each day)
I think having 1 thread for everything would get messy as it would be difficult to find what you're looking for and when a thread gets to 20 pages - if it's your first time looking at it it's difficult to get to a relevant starting point.
On the other hand, I would also hate to see the front page of the cafe filled with football threads, but I don't think this will happen.
If it gets to a point where we have a Grand Prix, Football, Tennis, Golf etc all on page 1 - I think that would be the time to think about having 1 sports thread.
At the moment though I think a separate thread for Major sporting events could work. It would be easy for the Mods to move other random posts into the relevant thread to save the locking and subsequent moaning. :thumbup:
On a side issue, I can't believe dammie's started a thread on the FA cup (especially considering he didn't know what it was until I explained it to him 5 minutes ago)
I'm keeping the link to this for posperity :giggle:

seriously - we've always had the opinion that we don't check posts with each other before posting, unless its someting serious or involves the other. if we did, half my rants would never make it to screen redface

we don't read each others PMs unless they involve us both or are funny.
non serious - i over heard half a conversation between HLB and my sister the other day, where HLB to sis that when it gets to the point where i need help "cleaning myself" after toileting - she'llput me in a home. i don't think she meant this one we share :shock:
the back of one hand has been sore for a couple of weeks, but this morning "it" has spread to the opposit wrist too sad

i'm off now to see if i can get a bidet fitted on the nhs wink

Personally I couldn't give a fook about soccerball or what ever its called lol

However I can apriciate that its of interest to others the same as other sports and pass times are. I know they may be off topic but I've started threads about the most removed things from swinging you could possibly imagine in the past. So as long as it doesn't turn in to the soccerball forum or the cricketrounders homepage I can't see the problem. I can apreciate our lovely MODs are already busy but it wouldn't take that much policeing to keep it to one thread or at least stop the forum being flooded with ruggerball topics (i'm not a sports fan can you tell by my crap grasp of the lingo lol

). Sufice to say its not really my thing but others will be interested. biggrin

1. Before you post a new topic, make sure you are posting it in the correct place. The Cafe is for anything and everything , EXCEPT meet up requests or Dogging.

13 May 2006

Personally I like the fact that the forum is for "anything and everything".
To me this is what keeps it fresh and interesting. Yes there are some threads I have no interest in and that's the same for everyone - you just avoid them.
I have to say I wouldn't like the forum much if we were only allowed to have threads on sex and swinging.
Yes I know that may seem bizarre - but think about it. How many Bukake, Cock size and shave vs trimmed threads could you put up with in one day before you got bored shitless?

I can see and be impressed by the talent and skill required but I just don't have the passion or interest for it sad

Let's leave 'em to it, and we'll cough from the fumes while we talk about the merits of alternative reduction gears in the rear axle, doubling the amount of available gear ratios and a preference for walk through cabs and flat floors wink

we enjoy lots of sports (non sex lol) as well as sex
but if we want rugby results we go to a rugby site motor racing to the F1 site etc.
threads on here will just pack out the site with incomplete off suject matter
worst still if some twit posts on another site a link back to here its all going to go badly wrong
there is no security for the forums etc. some kid could come straight in
i bet no one reads the over 18 warning. its all very well to say "they were warned" but in the most part were all more responsible than that and hay it could be your kids first the forum then the gallery! to search for pics of players
May be the site needs a passworded sign on before any access with a 2 day delay for first sign on of a new member to stop kids blagging a pw if they have to wait a couple of days they may not come back.
it may also stop some of the the new member post for a desparate shag today adds

Whoa there my misinformed friend, firstly as far as site security for juviniles goes. I'm lead to beleave the way all the pages are coded is that if the adults of the ynder 18's do their bit and install the apropiate software the site is not accesable to people who arn't meant to be viewing it, secondlt whilst this is a website for swingers it isn't exclusivly for that subject. The forum is an online comunity of like minded people. have a browse through some of the threads and you will see lots of helpfull day to day suport and advice on a whole range of subjects. I should know i've made some bloody good friends on here who off late have baled me out of the shit on more than one occasion. So I am prepared to stand up for my beliefs and going off your brief comment at the start I can only sumise that you would like everything to have its own little pigeon hole. Footy site for footy fans swinger site for swingers etc.................... Just because we swing are we not allowed to offer each other help advice and suport on everyday subjects. You are more than entitelled to your opinion but I am inclined to disagree, especially after everyone has bee so helpfull firendly and suportive towards me of late. confused
