Hello, Commune people.

Several sports topics have been moved to the Sports Talk forum (yes, we have one). Please visit Sports Talk and talk sports in there. It's now listed above the Community on the main forum index.

Thank you.

Commune used to be the top forum, we've been in freefall ever since.

Well if they keep gaying everything up like this its only gonna get worse.

Leave the commune alone please.

Seriously, every time they screw with this place i cringe.

We need less forums not more, and sports is an important part of the commune imo. Whats next???

EDIT: I also fear to see how many douche bags sign up here and retard their way to 100 posts just so they can play in the freerolls.

So many bad ideas all at once.

do you mean the sports betting forum? if so, you should probably change the name to Sports Talk. I've never been in that forum because I don't wager on sports much. guess i'm not a real gambler [/quote]

Guys,

you are all making life difficult for a site that has been nothing but helpful to you in your quest to making money at playing poker. All FTR is asking is you talk about sport in the sports betting forum. Your threads are going to go in there either way, so if you could please save the owners/moderators a little time and help us grow the sports betting forum we would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you

kingnat has a point though. Which i made in the mod thread, but i'll make here.

We're not big enough to need this kind of spreading out. I don't go to the other forums and it's not going to bring traffic to them. The threads'll just go there and die. And while these actions are taking all of the good content out of the commune, it too will turn into a shit hole. It's a lose-lose, imo. Just condense everything non-poker related into the commune. Turn poker etcetera into the gambling off topic forum for sports betting, casino whoring, vegas trips and all around degeneracy and just make it easy for the FTR community to remain a community.

I think this is a good move. There are still PLENTY of non sports related topics in the Commune.

Everyone needs to just stop bitching and start posting. Get with the program people.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

from my point of view when i browse the commune it would be far preferable for all OT threads to be in one forum. As a brit i'm not interested in most sports betting threads or sport threads for that matter so having to open up a whole new forum just to see the football (soccer) thread is a bit of a pain. just my pov, I'm not particularly bothered about the change but it's a minor minor inconvenience.

The "this isn't very popular" part is an understatement. Moving all sports back to the Community is serious. None of it was meant to be sarcastic.

Sorry for the trouble, guys. Didn't think it would be so controversial, as we'd had the sports forum for a long while, but it's apparent that most of you didn't like that idea to begin with and others had forgotten or never noticed it.

It's probably because no one can easily bet on sports. It's all watercooler talk now.
