The new Sports Games Forum
Call me an old grouch, but am I the only one that think the games forum isn't quite working out as it ought to. I popped over there this morning just on the off-chance there was a Newmarket Comp, and there's stacks of comps which are games that run on another website.
I'm not criticising Dean and co that set these games up - apart from their need to get a job <JOKE>, and I'm not even sure what is is exactly that I'm unhappy about, just, probably, maybe, that a DS Sports Games Forum should be for DS-run Sports Games

Since the forum split the games, I have not played them. If they're not in front of me I forget they exist.
![]() I am talking about the Name the Sports Person, and the A-Z games, not the predictions comps. |

I know this probably won't happen but i think the sub forum needs a sub forum. tso is right, when the football season starts we will have lots in there.

I have made a suggestion to the mods to have a 'PINNED' topic at the top of the football and the sports forum ( much as they do for eg in General Discussion) .
This could let in-frequent visitors know about where the Forum games are now residing. Hope this suggestion is OK with you regulars |

What exactly is the criteria for moving threads to the new forum.
I notice the Saturday racing comp is in the new sub- forum but the Sunday racing comp remains in the main forum along with the F1 prediction game. Very confusing. |

I like the idea of a 'sticky' at the top of the forum re-directing people

I am thinking the sub forum desperately needs splitting up now. I posted the card for my saturday racing thread on Thursday tea time and by Friday morning it was just about on page 2. Dropped like a stone.
Maybe needs 3 sections Football prediction Other Sports prediction A-Z and letter games ( non prediction ) Or possibly DS prediction comps and other website prediction comps. |

DS prediction comps and then one for other websites sounds the best option to me, good thinking DL.

I did e mail the mods with my suggestions. Not heard anything back yet. Was about 5 days ago.
I have nothing against the comps, i enter plenty myself, i am though getting a bit narked that there are so many which just have 2 or 3 people in them. They are pushing the other comps down a page or two. I am getting DMs from people saying "i cant find your comp" because it has dropped so far in a couple of days. Hope the mods do decide on more subforums |
