Pro Sports doesn't cause the problems that politics or In-State did. It is the summer not much to talk about with ISU.

Heck I don't like the weather threads... Can we opt them too???:jimlad:

I think we might be getting carried about with subscription forums and what not. I have to admit, I don't miss the rivals-instate forum on the front page one bit.

The number of Cubs threads is getting pretty ridiculous, and it's quickly making me dislike the Cubs. As a casual baseball fan, I was pretty indifferent last year when the Cubs blew it right away in the post season. This year WHEN it happens, I will actually enjoy it.

I think having all the Cyclone related threads on the front page/recent threads page is a great idea. Have everything else in the forum index. Then if you want to go check out information on the Cubs, "in-state rivals", or the news you could go to that forum. Or, you could go to cubs.com, hawkeyereport.com, or CNN.com.

...and Cub fans everywhere will be indifferent to your enjoyment.

I guess liking the mariners all you can really be is a casual fan :biglaugh:

Moving in-state rivals off of the front page has killed that part of the board. There are maybe 10 posts a day in that area now.

So you move "cub" threads off the front page, then you are stuck with a bunch of Cardinal/White Sox threads. Where does it stop?

Part of the reason I frequent this board is BECAUSE of the varying topics OTHER than ISU.

IMO this board will die if you continue to limit/remove non-ISU content.
