Thanks.

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course

Spanish Only - self-explanatory

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.

Anything else?

--K.E.

if by arcade you mean dominoes, chess, and poker I'm down.

other forums: I've been waiting for a buy/trade/promote forum. I think that would be an excellent idea!

Tech- I would browse it, but probably wouldn't understand most of it.

Spanish only- I would give it a shot.

MMA Forum- Give them (it's like 3-4 guys) their own forum, but where would you put the other sports? I'm a huge boxing fan and occassionally a few of us post in the other sports forum. Also, boxing vs MMA is good for a 100 or so post a month.

Music etc..- That is the club.

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?

No, I wouldn't play. Banner ads don't bother me.

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff

I would read.

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course

No, but how liable will y'all be for this? I'd hate for someone to get ripped-off and then try to blame you because you allowed the posting on your site. Does that make sense?

Spanish Only - self-explanatory

No habla Espanol

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?

n/a

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.

Agree

Anything else?

There may be a whole 6 or 7 of us now

I like the idea of a separate UFC/Boxing forum, in addition to the "Other Sports" forum. I do like having music in The Club, though. And the idea of a Spanish forum doesn't sound too bad.

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?.

I think a new forum would be fantastic for MMA. I visit a lot of MMA forums and to be honest this is one of the better MMA forums around. A solid group of people here that just like talking MMA without a lot of the flame wars. Pretty darn unique!

[Shelly]

Oh, and I agree with Melmart about what kind of avatars and sigs can be posted. I turn off the sigs, but I like avatars and some of them are NSFW or for chitlins lurking nearby.

I'd mind, only in the sense that it'd increase the probability of the site getting banned at my job. It's a nice idea, but I want to be selfish and be able to browse at work!

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff
Yes, I know I've pestered you in the past about this, and it'd come off as a good forum, and being helpful.

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course
No, this will become a headache for you - check out http://forums.anandtech.com and http://www.hardforum.com and ARSTECHNA to see the problems they have with their FS/FT/WTB forum.

Spanish Only - self-explanatory
No, I think it'd be a very small group, much smaller than any of these other forums.

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?
Consider a UFC/MMA forum, and keep "Other Sports"

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.
I think this is great in the forums, as is.

Anything else?
Yah, if you do go with a Tech Forum, I'd like to be able to moderate it and do stickies and such - entirely up to you though, but it'd probably be my 2nd forum I visit after the SAS forum.

Thanks, Kori!

[dougp]

I would like to see the board formatted for elective cell phone viewing. It would have to be a no picture text driven system.

That's possible, if Kori is interested in it, I could give her the name of someone who will set it up and host it for $15/year for her.

[2centsworth]

Consider a UFC/MMA forum

that will get you killed by the MMA guys. I can already see steam coming out of Evan's ears.

[Slomo]

Could you PM me some details, because I don't think it's that easy.

MMA Forum- Give them (it's like 3-4 guys) their own forum

lol...I'm going to start calling you the "MMA Minimizer"...3 or 4??

Maybe a "Combat Sports" forum for MMA, boxing, etc...

Stop acting like MMA isn't a fad.

see Kori, that's a taste of what it's like. BTW, no sports fan should miss Cotto vs Mosley.

[Evan]

An entire combatsports forum sounds good to me.

[2centsworth]

I would be in more favor of a seperate MMA fourm and keeping other sports.

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?

Probably wouldn't play them very often, but when I do, I don't care about ads.

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff
Not very often.

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course
Yes.

Spanish Only - self-explanatory
No.

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?
Sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't frequent that forum.

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.
This is a tough call because I like that the Club is just a random mix of topics, and you lose a lot of potential topics by creating a Music/Movie/TV forum. I think a separate music forum would invite a lot more in-depth discussions but I'm not sure it's necessary unless The Club just became over-run with Music threads.

[spurster]

Yes to Tech Talk and Arcade.

[Evan]

By the way

MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?
I would try some. No.

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff No

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course Maybe

Spanish Only - self-explanatory No

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.
I'd like music by its own.

Anything else? A new forum exclusively for Timvp and Whott to argue as long as they want.

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?

Not really, but I wouldn't mind it

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff

Definitely! Have been bailed out by people in this forum many times, so a yes on this one!

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course

I wouldn't have much use for it really

Spanish Only - self-explanatory

well, I really don't see much point in arguing for this one now seeing as how there so much opposition to the idea. However, I will say that most people are completely missing the point here. This forum wouldn't be only for those who don't speak english well, but also for those that don't speak it at all.

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?

I wouldn't mind if you renamed the Other Sports forum MMA, but I certainly hope that if you do that you create a "Soccer forum" for us displaced football fans

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.

Should stay in the Club

[T Park]

1. I would frequent, and I applaud the use of banners. Its great to see the site being open to breaking even finally, unlike some of these jerks who are opposed to it.

2. Yeah would be cool.

3. Eh, not too hot on the buy'trade thing.

4. Sounds great for our foreign posters who feel more comfortable posting stuff. welcome addition IMO

5. Eh, sure, but no one visits the "other sports" forum anyways, it would be great though if the Golf, Nascar, and what not fans posted more often.

6.Seems ok to be in the Club, but if it helps out around here? Im for it.

I agree that most people missed the point. And just FYI, even if 90% of people here said they were against it, it doesn't mean it won't happen. It's not a "majority rule" situation. I was just interested in some feedback.

Ohh damn it's gonna happen ...


We are doomed!

[Spurminator]

I might actually use the Spanish forum to brush up on mine... Could be educational.

[T Park]

Wouldn't hurt for me either.

Helps with the communication between me and my friend's parents as well.

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?

No. And i don't like ads.

No.

No, i don't speak spanish.

No and no.

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.

Leave it in club.

Anything else?

i would like for "NBA news central" to be renamed into "Basketball News central"

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?

Can't say I'd play, but I have at a few other forums. I'm just not a gamer. As far as banner ads, not at all. I mod at a site that has a loop of banner ads.

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff

Doubtful

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course

Doubtful

Spanish Only - self-explanatory

How do you say "doubtful" in spanish?

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?

I don't follow non-basketball, football, baseball, college enough to say I'd post often for my vote to be of worth in the matter.

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.

I like The Club the way it is. Little bit of everything.

As a whole I don't think the site can get much better. You have all the sports, you have general discourse and you have the absurd with the Troll forum. The gamers lounge isn't a bad idea, though. Worth looking into, anyways.
