Owner Real Deal Posted June 23, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I've had a couple of members ask me about adding WNBA, NFL and MLB teams. I have to say no to all of those, because OTR is a basketball-only site, and the WNBA is not popular enough. College basketball is in the works, though, but that's going to be a process. If I allow a certain team, I'd have to allow the entire sport...and we have plenty of soccer fans here. Consequently, allowing a different sport means I would be obligated to allow football, since it's the second most watched sport here (I believe). So doing something like that would put me in a bind. I might as well change the site to an all-sports message board, and to be honest, that's the last thing I want to do...because that's what most all sites do when they are struggling to find activity with just one sport.

JWaLL Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Allow NBA, WNBA, and College logos. This is a basketball forum after all...I really don't see the point for WNBA. It really just isn't popular enough and the number active posters for it would probably not even exceed 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think we should have College team reps, at least. How about like..multiple team reps(like 3 or 4)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 He was an unorthodox chucker who didn't play D and couldn't pass/drive or shoot at a high percentage from NBA 3... haha. Knicks tried him out after the Kings cut him, and he couldn't latch on... That's pretty much the measuring stick of when you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentch Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Yeah, there's no point in including the WNBA section. I remember at the old site before the hack, I went to post a funny article about it in there, and there were only like 5 other topics. And that was since the site started back in '05. It's the sad truth: nobody cares about the WNBA. That's why the article I posted there was funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentch Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Anyways though, just a short list of what I'd like to see here: - Return to Team Captain positions (the ones where that person has mod priviliges in the team forum that they are in charge of. It also helps keep the team forums more active since the Team Captain is obligated to post in there more often) - Small team logos at the top of the main board (there's people that used them all the time to find team forums, and although I didn't use them, I found that it looked kinda cool) - Individual writer forums (not as many people give feedback when you post them in the regular forums) - More staff awards and events - The ability to negative rep somebody - More emphasis on football (especially since it is the second most watched sport here and people are actually interested in it most of the time) - NFL mod position - More activity in the sim league (possibly a revival of the old sim league or a new one with different starting year) So yeah, tell me what you think of the ideas and I'll get back to you Edited June 24, 2010 by Mentch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) I've had a couple of members ask me about adding WNBA, NFL and MLB teams. I have to say no to all of those, because OTR is a basketball-only site, and the WNBA is not popular enough. And while your at all of those Football, Hockey, and Baseball teams. Why don't you have a music forum with a subforum for all the different music genres. Then create sections for every single music artist, and let us rep them like teams. And we can have concert day threads and stuff. It shouldn't be too hard! This IS OTR Global, made for the world by the world, right?
