What would you guys like to see added as boards?

Off Topic? (politics, entertainment, social stuff)

Other Sports (football, baseball talk, etc)

Conference Specific Boards? 

Looking for anything the community might want.

The “Legends” topic on the College board was an interesting read. Perhaps a similar separate board for nostalgia?

A separate board for MMA seems to be the best place to follow former wrestlers who’ve made the transition to the octagon.

I would vote against a politics forum.  It's too divisive and polarizing and nobody ever wins in a "discussion" a.k.a. an argument over politics.

Legends, MMA, Off Topic

I vote that Thumper decides to ignore off topics rather vote no for everyone.

I came up with that one awhile ago and I believe JB was there to make it happen.  We had several theads at the time with great history information in them, but after awhile they would get buried into Page 3 and beyond.   My thought was to move the best threads about these legends over to that Legends of the Mat section so they could be easily found. Then maybe have a few threads started there as well well dedicated to specific teams or individuals that could be added too.  While it has a good start, that forum never quite evolved that at way as future moderators weren’t as active with moving some of the best threads over to it.  But I agree it was a great place to preserve these memories.  It could be a great resource of information if used well.

Would you rather political derailment happen in the wrestling threads or in the politics section?

Is there an interest in a place to post sig bets or betting lines/odds?  “Prognosticators” or “Prognostication”

should name it Jimmy's Place  

[lu_alum]

@Husker_Du I’d recommend moving Legends to the first tier, rather than placing it under the College board. Key example being the initial Dave Schultz thread. Most “Legend” posts cover the careers and stories through all three levels of competition (HS, Collegiate, International).

"Inside info on injuries and suspensions" 

"Hawkeye Report 2" 

"Covid and Vaccine Expertise"

Here’s one you would have never seen on TheMat..  “Police/Crime Report”

Many posts, many deletions/locks/blocks.

A "Blotter" forum - what a concept. Maybe, just maybe, that could work. 

[Husker_Du]

thankfully, there's not enough wrestlers in the news to warrant it's on separate forum imo

Without their real names how will we know what crimes these anonymous posters are committing?

Not a TMZ kind of sport.  

p.s.  Thanks for providing the new home!  

[herkcy]

Any chance we can have forums within college wrestling itself?  Say a recruiting forum?

[ionel]

Looks good now, I wouldn't be in a big hurry to add anymore forum than current till we see where this is going in terms of numbers/demand.
