Are we gonna have one?
Euro 2012 forum
- Thread starter vanthaman
- Start date
The footy should suffice given that there won't be many other threads in it during the Euros.
IIRC, during Euro 2008 there was a separate forum?
I think it works best that way. These international tournaments bring about so many talking points in a very short space of time that the football forum would be completely swamped if there isn't a separate place for it.

One of the issues is that people complain when it gets taken away again because their post-count disappears
Why aren't they just moved en-masse to the football forum at the end of the tournament?
Or would that much load probably wipe out the db server?

Seriously? Jesus wept.
That's as good as reason as any for starting a separate forum, if you ask me. Fecking weirdos.
Sure mark your posting milestones but don't get hung up on them.
I can't suppose that the various match threads from the tournament would be a great loss to the forum. If there is a major debating point or unique event then selectively move one or two topics for archiving [this was an approach taken in the past IIRC].
Is anybody from the Caf actually going to the Euros out of interest? Might be worth a feature on the site if they were.

Do people really care about post counts? That is soooo 2005
I think the Suarez handball thread in the World Cup forum was excellent, shame it was deleted with the rest of that forum.
It'd be nice to be able to discuss it in it's own section. We had a World Cup forum in the newbies which worked well.
I had some of my best moments in the 2010 forum and I can never reflect back at them 
feck post counts. But if people are so precious about them, why not do what you did with the old General forum? Not visible by anyone other than mods but nothing is deleted.
Why not make a separate International Football forum with subforums in them? So a Euro2012 subforum, World Cup 2014 subforum, etc?
Let me think?
I have.
No
I have.
No
Make a separate forum, take it down after the tournament ends, then ban anyone who complains about their post counts.
Simples.
Simples.
It is nice tomark the milestones but I don't understand why they are kept track of.
Is there not a way to prevent post counts being incremented in that forum specifically?
Forum is up and active.
Nice, good one.
Nice one. I can't believe people actually care about their post count. Will the forum and its posts be deleted after the tournament?
Do they appear on the main redcafe.net page yet? Currently the only way to get to it is via the forums home link
In order to avert a mass muppet suicide, we will move the topics into the football forum at the end of the Euros.
Its possible that it will as the Euros draw nearer.
Do people actually use the main page? I just bookmark the forum page
