NG doesn't really have enough people who want to discuss sports to justify such a thing, and besides, people are only really interested towards the end of a sports season, when that game's championships are going on.

Wow, such a good idea!

Actually rather worried about NGers that they wouldnt want a dedicated forum to talk about health, nutrition, fitness, and wellness.

There aren't many sport threads so it wouldn't be a good idea. And people already talk about sports in Club/Crews forum.
Now go there and chit chat with your yankie NFL fans.

There are a ton of threads in General related to nutrition, grooming, fitness, and pro sports. They dont deserve to be tossed onto the General Forum Trash Heap.

I sense a large amount of e-gambling in the near future if this happens...

There should be one.

It was really annoying when there was a "tits" thread for EVERY SINGLE FOOTBALL game

If there was ever even a little bit of sports talk in general it might be worth while.

It's bad enough they pop up in General now and again and people start arguing about shit, we don't need an entire forum dedicated to that.

This site is about creativity, and sports really isn't that creative.

You dont know what you're talking about.

Sports is an amplification of everything you can do in a larger environment.

A sports subforum is exactly what the NGBBS needs.

If Newgrounds had a fitness forum, sure it'd get plenty of threads. They'd be something along the lines of this, this, or this gem of a thread.

And then rules would probably be made saying that those don't belong in fitness. And everyone would abandon fitness in favor of general again. As for sports, clubs are already well established, why would they leave?

Don't forget the ban that you get if you complain or ask that they keep it to one thread.

As much as I love sports,

Sports = / = Newgrounds.

There are a few clubs and topics relating to sports and certain events, but they're all generally pretty dead.

Hmm.. still no replies from anyone with any say in the future of this website.

Does anyone here speak to the Fulps regularly?

If the site gains a sports forum, I will immediately shut it down with a Super Bowl XL thread.

If NG got a Sports forum then we'd need a Television forum and aMasturbation forum and a Girl Problems forum and a Youtube Video Links forum and a Nationalism forum and it likely goes on. Frankly there is c&c for most NGers fitness and sporting needs. And general can be handy with that too.

So I'm just going update this weekly I think, it might help motivate me too because I don't want to look like a further failure by having a bad week.

Well sure, but I'm quite happy to keep an ongoing weight dairy going on my blog and visit proper fitness forums when I need assistance from real people with helpful advice and support. Because you know, this site isn't really the place for that.

Final Thoughts
We want to keep this Forum clean, and we want to see people engage in intelligent conversation. Use common sense: if you don't have something interesting to discuss, don't post a topic! Remember, these are private forums.

Twelve years ago, Newgrounds was a place for posting simple math point-and-shoot games while mocking the older generation's international community.

Now we have much more detailed art, much more informative math, and a forum devoted to helping Newgrounders understand and mix their political opinions.

Extrapolate from that, and it's pretty plain to see that giving Newgrounders a conduit for the discussion of larger worlds is exactly the Next Step.

Art because the site has expanded to included an art gallery and because art is an important part for many animators here. And politicals I guess to stop that rubbish clogging up General.

Do you see many sports/fitness threads clogging up General in a negative way?

I'm simply saying

Rather than accomodating the growth of the community, the admins should compel the growth of the community.

Be proactive.
