Sidelines: Little outdated perhaps?

Yeah, I don't think my ability to post to the sidelines has been reinstated yet since the new server.

I think Bo might have been out celebrating with Freddy Flintoff and the gang.

Yeah ... I need to address that. It was a feature that got overlooked in the move.

While we're here, in answer to BornIcon's comments in the wrestling discussion, when I said that people shouldn't jump into links about sports they don't follow, I knew my wrestling comment might come back to bite me. I don't really follow it. But since I was already there reading the discussion I made a reply.
As a general rule, though, I think it's rude to drop in on links for sports you don't follow just to poop on them. Leave the discussion to the people who do care about it. No one here (other than Kirk, Gary and I) is under any obligation to read a women's soccer, NASCAR or MMA discussion if we don't follow those sports.

Not sideline related, but could we get some more categories as options when posting a link.
ie. MMA, Legal/Financial, others as well, if someone wants to chime in with suggestions.

Oh, right, the Sidelines on the home page. Adoi! Yes, they are a tad dated, aren't they?
Tommy: I once lobbied to get Auto Racing changed to Motor Sports, but was roundly ignored. Is ignoring me a sport? I think it is.

I'm sorry NoMich, did you say something ?

Hey, something to indicate Snarkiness would be good.
My comprehension skills can sometimes lack, and I'd appreciate any and all help .

It's probably better that way, yerfatma. Repress those twisted ideas that were placed in your innocent mind.

Based on responses/non-responses received both here and on another forum, last night sounds like it was fun. If only I could remember some of it.

I keep lobbying for a cycling category

I find my eyes glaze over naturally in most of the cases now.

We should have a category for sport/not sport.

First discussion: Ignoring NoMich--sport/not sport?

Ignoring who ?
posted by tommybiden at 11:24 PM on August 26, 2009
I've wanted to write a post about the arms race between World Superbikes and MotoGP, but I can't bring myself to post about it under "Auto Racing." So wow, one more moron to ignore... :)

Is there an answer to the questioin posed in this thread ?
Can we get new categories listed, or no ?
posted by tommybiden at 09:45 PM on September 08, 2009
Yep. I'd like to double the number of categories, with preference to subjects that have been proven popular here already.

That link is a tad "Locker roomy."
