possible subforum.

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

there are a lot of competitions in the general racing thread
CQ game
prediction game
giro game
grand tour game
+ fantasy leagues.

I suggest a sub forum for these competitions to clutter the forum less.
I like the competitions, and participate in most, but think some could be irritated by this.

 

[JA.Tri]

Putting them all in the one area would assist in finding them as well.

 

[jobiwan]

I agree with this. THERE ARE JUST SO MANY STICKIES!!!!

 

[Ferminal]

I think the best way would have a "Games and Fantasy Cycling" forum as part of the "Road" category.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

yeah i agree.
If the mods do wanna do this, here are the threads they should move anyway;

I agree, good idea.

Timmy, we can only ask for its creation and see what happens when. We don't have any way to set it up ourselves.

I suspected as much. Hopefully the admins agree with the idea.

Thanks

sub forum for the clinic: "no way Xxxx Xxxx is clean"

 

[Anonymous]

I agree. Good idea.

The velogames fantasy giro will be going up fairly soon.

 

[hoolaparara]

Seems like another dozen have sprung up pre-giro and this really needs to be done!

I think there are possibly two many. Ive lost track of how many games there are running now.

 

[Cobblestoned]

That would be really great.
Seems to be a complicated thing and they have to wait for a software engineer to visit them, to open that subforum.

 

[DirtyWorks]

Fyi

It's up to the person with the privilege as a vbulletin forum admin to add the sub-topic. Admining a Vbulletin installation isn't hard. It's likely a matter of getting the 'okay'.

 

[Barrus]

There is a subforum now, but I made a major mistake and merged all the threads together. So I am trying to come up with some solution that does not mean selecting all the seperate post. So please sit tight. I hope another moderator can solve my problem

 

[Cobblestoned]

Ah, no panic, **** happens.

We all sit tight.

I should have come here first. I just restarted the velogames giro competition in a fresh thread.

I have a feeling what youve done is undoable.

nice one Barrus

 

[Cobblestoned]

But that really made my day.

Saw worse things in my life.
Cleaners plugging out servers to plug in the hoover, for example.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

thanks barrus and francios. Wish I witnessed the 'giro' of thread moves

Here's a glimpse

What are the chances of ever having a TDF sub-forum? I don't see how hard it is to get one set up, it would make things a whole lot easier with the increased volume this site will have. Aside from the stage threads, we do have threads that offer discussion (eg "When is a good time for Andy Schleck to take the yellow jersey" ), or to cover a controversial incident (like Cancellara on stage 2 when the Schleck's crashed, when Renshaw got kicked out, or chain-gate), but a lot of threads that cover the same subject, or pointless ones (eg "Armstrong just gave Andy Schleck a yellow bracelet"), and everything is several pages back.

And besides, I do think there is other things to talk about (like the Tour of Austria) aside from the TDF. You simply create a sub-forum, just before the Tour (say a week before), move all threads there, leave until a week or so after the Tour has ended, lock it and archive it, so people can read it, reference posts back there, but can't post in it.

+ this many

The forum indeed explodes every Tour de France and it would be easier to keep the Pro racing subforum readable...

I think we're starting to see it happening.
Just look at 1st 2 non stickies.

A "Who will win the jerseys" thread, followed directly by a "Who will win the green jersey" thread.

I'm all for a TDF sub-forum, if it's possible.
