New main area forum

[Nic Name]

dhamsaic, i'm afraid it's a bit of a non sequitur to suggest that we don't need a Sports forum because we don't have many people in the Cellar interested in sports.

What's cause and what's effect?

Now, if you don't want people who might have any interest in sports in the Cellar at all, then that's a good reason not to have such a forum.

I'm not a jock, either, but I am interested in what's going on in sports ... and wouldn't discount your opinion in, say, Politics if you happened to be a big Phillys or Fliers fan, and happened to have joined the Cellar because you just had to weigh in on the Eric Lindros discussion going on in a Sports forum.

I'm not sure the objective is to have only forums that everyone is interested in. Maybe, if the forums reflected a broader range of interests the discussion in areas that you are interested in would represent a broader spectrum of opinions.

Now it's a matter of opinion whether that's a good objective, or not.

There's certainly every indication that there's interest in Cooking or Eating here in the Cellar.

Personally, I wouldn't read a Sports forum regularly, although I might find that an appropriate place to post something of interest to me in the upcoming Winter Games. And maybe there, I'd learn something from people more interested in sports than myself.
