I've suggested this before, but was told that the current off-topic boards are already underutilised as it is. I was told to go make a sports org or a general sports thread.

If anime can get an official org, a sports org can too. My issue with this idea is that sports is such a broader topic than anime (and the other specialist orgs) and there's so many different things to discuss. I feel like the org thread would get real messy, real fast and it'd lack cohesion.

So I still support the idea of a sports board in the general section. We don't know how much people will use it until we make it - so to use 'it won't get used' as an argument against it is just some crazy fortune telling. Do a trial. 3 months. If it's not getting used then delete the board. No harm done.

If we're worried about the number of off-topic sub-boards, I'd suggest merging computer chat (mostly defunct) with Gaming.

Yeah Sports is really a big topic. Here are some examples to convince the staff:
football
american football
skiing
healthy food
racing sport
workout
marathon
olympics (which has many disciplines)
and so on....

The real issue is the staff can't really gauge how much of our community is into sports to warrant something like a seperate board. I think an organization is totally okay to start with and if lots of people seem interested then the staff will probably oblige.

there are lots of potential forums i could think of, such as non-toribash technical support, but there are probably enough as of now
