Hey, do you think a sports lounge would be appropriate and welcome in the MacNN Forums? I personally think it would be very cool.

What about a "Feedback" forum where people can post suggestions without cluttering the lounge?
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

It'd probably be on par with the Political Forum in terms of shittiness.

Seriously, I'm all for a Sports lounge, as long as we have a sub-lounge for all the Yankee Fans to play in without distracting the rest of us...

What if he gets called up by somebody? Then you need a Rickey Henderson/Major League Lounge.

What if he becomes Assistant Secretary of the Interior, or something? This could get out of hand quickly.

what about a "lock-lounge"? some threads are just conceptualized right from the start to be locked.

This, actually, isn't a bad idea.

Chaste Lounge. Discuss abstinence from patio furniture.

No, seriously.

I didn't mean a forum about your favorite teams. I mean about sport as *we* do it. But I guess then I should go to a specific website (for cyclist for example)...

Oh, you mean sports that we engage in.

Hmmm.

You do realize this is mainly a computer forum, right?
Sports involves moving.
And being outside. I've heard of that, I think it's the place that's not my office, you know, the place with that big yellow disc.

Sounds tiring. I think I need a nap...
