I didn't say you shouldn't have a forum. I didn't even say you shouldn't have a 'Random Thoughts' thread. I just came in here to counter leaffans bullshit of "the baseball forum gets a random thoughts thread and only stays active because of it', and explain for the hundredth time why a random thoughts thread works in some forums, but doesn't seem to work in the hockey area.
If you guys want a random thoughts thread, knock yourselves out. But then when nobody is posting threads, Atlas or whoever else is going to get annoyed at two month old threads on page one, and there will be yet another debate as to whether the forum should be shut down and the 'Random Thoughts' thread moved to 'Other Sports'.
lol @ counter bullshit. Every single non random thought post gets about an avg of 6 or 7 replies and its the same people replying to it. Hell the trade deadline just passed and it looks exactly like what happened when the NHLs trade deadline passed. A shit ton of threads about guys being traded and outside of people talking about their own team most of the threads have zero input or anything in them. A 10 player blue jays trade happends and it gets like 3 posts. Whats the point?
I'm sure Atlas and the rest will close up the baseball forum when it hits december and the place is more of a ghost town then here.
