Can we create a separate Hattrick forum?

Seriously... half the crap in here is Hattrick related.

What do you think should be in the general forum, be specific please, and at what point does a subject deserve its own forum?

Not counting this one, 217 out of the 818 current threads on this board are Hattrick related. That's over 25%. I'd say at that point, a subject probably warrants its own forum.

Just curious, what is the percentage of war or political threads? I would guess it is similiar to the Hattrick ones. So should we set up a political/war forum too? At what point does a subject deserve its own forum?

Pretty much all I am saying is, if something becomes popular, people are going to talk about it.

I am also in favor of a Hattrick forum. For that matter, I'm in favor of a war forum also. Of course, I'm assuming that it is a piece of cake for the amins to create, modify, and later delete forums if popularity wanes. If not, I'll just have to keep shoveling to get to things I'm interested in.

I say leave it as is. Hattrickers should just designate their posts as such, like we do with OOTP, FOF, etc. As long as the thread has got adequate signage, I've got no problem with it. If topics are falling below page 1, bump them.

I second this motion, something so formidable deserves it.

Crawfish with Laser Blasters instead of Claws definately deserve a forum with collosal squids. Perhaps a sealife forum???

Not to beat a dead (sea)horse, but I believe crawfish are freshwater creatures, are they not? The Colossal Squid lobby would never buy into a freshwater forum.

Actually, I think crawfish kinda prefer brackish water... so they're in sort of a grey area there.

Of course, I don't eat crawfish. All shellfish looks to me like nothing more than oversized, water-borne cockroaches.

Im for a HT forum And at the top we should make a massive thread for all newbie's to read. Or create a website with a FAQ for newbie's to Hattrick. Nothing fancy, just a free site through geocites or something.

we're one of the biggest Hattrick Federations in America and growing consitantly. We should have something for the n00b$!!

This isn't a bad idea. One of the reasons why I haven't bothered with Hattrick is that I don't know squat about soccer, and I'd rather not spend countless hours trying to figure the damned game out on my own.

People talk about FOF4 on here? Could have fooled me.

Actually according to the official description this is not a "general forum" per say.

I concur with your ideas about creating separate forums for both of these topics but maybe try to generalize both a bit more like making the war forum into a politics forum instead. Also, I don't hold much stock in the admins interest in creating and changing forums as our interest dictate considering that the College Forum only has 7 threads in it. It really is sad that it still exists when there are more interesting forums that could be created.

We need a Hattrick forum. Seriously it's the only reason I come here. I don't even know what games these forums are for originally.
