Some will probably respectfully disagree, but it seems to me our other sports section is just a graveyard for ideas. My naughty cricket posting on the upper level has generated 10 times the responses achieved down below.
Why not have simply two categories....sports and banter. The T20 WC has turned out to be one of the best sports events in a long time, with pulsating finishes and epic performances. But there is no real dialogue about this barnburner of a tournament. I have no doubt if things were posted up top, far better discussion would have emerged.
I suppose if your vision is the best purist Rugby Board all this is irrelevant. But if we want a rugby centered board with the freedom to explore other significant sporting events, like the Olympics coming up this year...a bit more exposure would help. I honestly believe rugby posting will dominate whatever the format....rugby dialogue is not at risk, robust discussion of other sport is.

So long as we dont have trump ,muslims and god bothering oozing in to the threads aint got no probs with that .Banter about the Afghans beating the once mighty Windies and mouthy aussies being shown the door by the Indians would be OK eh wot ?Still its up to the ED and to a lesser degree the posters I guess ,speaking of which has our Aussie friend [ and I dont mean that reds twerp ] with the come at me bro kangaroo been about ?Pretty decent feller .

No I don't believe he has been around. But I agree a very fair poster, hope he makes it back. We have had few Aussie posters over the years ..and one wanker called "Aussiemad" who lied about buying a Cape wine farm...defrocked by yours truly. He was the exception though, most of the Aussie posters, have been decent blokes.

Downstairs didn't gather any cricket traffic...cant think of a better idea than to integrate all sports and to leave Jihadi Beeno in solitary.

No need for sections...we need one section only. The odd thread here and there about another sport or topic won't kill anyone. For many years that worked just fine. Then Beans became Trump obsessed and had mile long monologues with copy and pastes that just annoyed 90% of posters here. He seems to have that obsession under control and now we can just chat as we always did.
Its really simple, just remember this is a rugby board, and if someone posts something else of general interest to most/all posters...all good. If someone posts something completely irrelevant that is of interest to just about nobody, they must get a fucking clue and go to a chat room and converse with similarly minded people there!
Rugby = FineOther sport = Fine within limitsOther topics of general interest = FineTrump copy and pastes, Creationist copy and pastes, Climate copy and pastes, and any other topic of limited or no interest = 1 post limit! Anything more is just selfish and such posts/posters should be ignored.

Thanks for the support fellows. We have some control freaks who want to dictate the dialogue, but the beauty of this Board is a free flow ideas.

I'll be happy with two sections only ........... as long as all nonsports chat remains firmly ensconced down south .
Ps. missing Aussie poster, Claydog .......... a Reds supporter, so perhaps being m.i.a. is understandable .
