    ^ For the Warriors Thread, I'm pretty sure we're all cool with the fact that daprescription is the thread starter. Like acidicality said on page 2 of this thread, the Warriors Season Thread was "ran pretty cleanly". There's no egos over here.
    And I'd like to add that I miss season threads.

    Pros to Gameday threads - Just a few...

    More organized - Topics/Info much more easy to search fro either manually or w/ the search function from EZboard.
    Allows two-sided discussion - Discussion from several sources/fan rather than that of one particular team would occur more readily on a game day thread.
    Visuals - There aren't threads w/ hundreds of replies/pages taking up space on the 1st page.
    More welcoming for the casual fan

    Yeah Fanatic15, i totally see what your saying, and agree with some things in there. See, I just want to see the other side of the arguement, since I am for season threads. Most of the replies are "annoying, eyesore, etc..", which doesnt explain why game threads are a better choice. If the Mods/Admins are to make a good decision, I think they should have all the information (pros and cons) on both gameday threads and season threads.

    Like I said earlier, discussion on this minor issue had re-opened among the staff, and this is what we're agreed upon as the best option:

    compromise solutions suck like proportional representation.


    however, i guess the majority has spoken, although i thought niketalk was an oligarchy, not a democracy.

    So do we have to make a game thread for every game?

    In other words, do comments during an on-going game need to be in a game thread? or can we also discuss it in the season thread?

    good good, I'm happy with this hybrid.

    I think this is the best of both worlds. But I recommend Season Threads should be locked after 20pages.


    That's my word

    be careful what you wish for, it just might come true.


    remember there are 30 NBA teams, a couple hundred NCAA teams, and however many teams of the boring sports played with small balls.

    ^ #1- Not all team threads will be kept up with.

    #2- For NCAA, the divisional threads have proven to be pretty effective (SEC Thread, ACC Thread, etc.)

    #3- For the small sports you're talking about (for example, tennis), there's no need to have a thread for each entity (Federer, Roddick, Blake, etc.). A thread for the entire sport will suffice when the time comes.

    And... in an attempt to discourage people from mistaking these season/news threads from game threads, I'll be editing out game info from titles of season/news threads for awhile. Stuff like, "12/6 vs. LAL" (for example) only makes people wonder if this is the season-long thread or the game thread.

    Additionally, we would PREFER people indicate something like '07-'08 Season Thread' or '_______s News' in the titles, but that's not a demand or rule or anything.

    The point is to just make it clear where the game discussion is and where the season-long discussion is, and not blur the line between the two in the process.

    My 5 teams: 1. ANGELS, 2. LAKERS (I grew up on Angels/Lakers games), 3. UK WILDCATS (my wife is from Kentucky), 4. TN TITANS (we married and started our lives together in Tennessee), 5. L.A. SPARKS (WNBA/Sparks fan since Day One). When my teams aren't playing, I'll always show love for these SoCal teams: L.A. CLIPPERS, S.D. PADRES, Anaheim DUCKS, USC TROJANS, S.D. CHARGERS, L.A. AVENGERS, L.A. DODGERS, U.C.L.A. BRUINS, L.A. KINGS, L.A. GALAXY. "This game is in the refrigerator!
