But, isn't there PLENTY of sport-related forums on the net?
Sport threads don't get banned on MERB so, I'd say there's no need for a dedicated section nor a need to encourage such threads to be more present: they happen and it's cool with me as it is.
It's possible to discuss sports on MERB and it doesn't need to go beyond this, in my opinion. Those who read MERB looking for sport threads are, in my opinion again, looking at the wrong place. MERB is an Escort Review Board where some peoples happen to yap about sports, not the other way around.
