Everyone,
We are considering closing down the fantasy sports board. There isn't a lot of activity here, and as most of us know, 90% of all fantasy sports discussion takes place in the regular sports board anyway. I wanted to see what everyone thought about closing this board, and having any fantasy discussion there.
You would still be able to have threads for your leagues, or make topics for specific fantasy topics there. Honestly, the sports board could use the extra activity outside of the official threads anyway.
Is anyone opposed to this?

Not really, I think we're just going to see an increase in, "RATE MY TEAM" threads... Which I guess is fine.

Yeah, I expect that, but honestly, there are so few posts outside the official threads, it doesn't really matter I think.

Yeah, but if we delete the board we get the...erm...kind of "debates" we almost saw yesterday with the fantasy talk in the official sports threads.
I've never seen the purpose to delete a board. As long as it's moderated, what does it really matter if it's active anymore or not. It may seem like a waste of space, but it's not like it's hurting anything, and it's not like Proboards has a board limit...and as long as it's kind of used, why get rid of it?

It's a fair point. I guess I figure since most people just don't bother using it, myself included, it seems, pointless. I'm not a fan of pointless things. It's definitely not hurting anyone, and I don't care if it stays.

I say nix it and put a sticky for fantasy talk on the sports board.

I say nix it and put a sticky for fantasy talk on the sports board. But then it gets confusing with too many stickies. We have, every season, normally two Fantasy Football leagues, two Fantasy Baseball, a Fantasy Hockey league (which got axed this season) and Fantasy Basketball (which is obviously not happening at the moment, but still.) Ten stickies possibly at one point? Ridiculous. I think they should just stay separated.

I think it should stay, but people like myself and pretty much everyone who plays fantasy sports will use the NFL/NBA/MLB etc threads to talk about their players.

I think it should stay as well, but I can see where this is being discussed. I'll become much more active in the NFL thread if it does indeed happen.

I say nix it and put a sticky for fantasy talk on the sports board. Yea I would do this. Just have an official fantasy sticky in the sports hub. That way you dont get the constant bitching from the non-fantasy guys in the regular thread. Like you said too, the sports hub is pretty much 3-4 stickys and thats all anyone ever goes in there for. The added non-sticky discussion wouldnt hurt.
