Recently, my friends and I have been campaigning for the introduction of a GAA board in the sports forum, the moderator directed me here!!! So, could you find it in your heart to give me and my fanatic friends somewhere to call our own?

I know this is talked about the whole time, i.e introducing this board but personally i think it should be given a go, if only a short run.

Well when the season is back so it the board at least gets a fair start (wouldnt think there'd be very many people posting stuff now). Anyway i fully endorse this product and/or service

That means nothing. Why just look at the kittencake forum. If that isnt a testiment(sp?) to the fact that constantly annoying admins will break their will i dont know what is?

Well phreak, you see i feel we do need one, as angling and proffesional wrestling have one each!!!
Also, if we can't get one on an Irish site, where do you propose we get one?

A board for GAA is not needed. Sports isnt a busy forum really since soccer moved out.

Wrestling and Angling were created as community forums, thats why they are there

Kitten Cake was created as a private forum which was requested correctly.

If you think bugging me for *anything* is a good way to get it... you really do not know me very well.

It's irritating when my GAA friends and I get hassled by other people in the sports forum!!
Also, how can anyone justify (on an Irish site) the lack of a GAA board, yet the presence of pro-wrestling and angling boards?

Oh no!
Why dont you request a private forum for GAA. Then the 5 of you can talk about it til the cows come home and there will be nobody to hassle you.

Can you point to a post where you have been hassled by someone in the sports forum for talking about GAA?

I'd like to see that... I would take a very dim view of it....

Why would there be a need to split the Sport category up at all?

It might come to the stage where the GAA forum (it being small as it would be) would have lads demanding a seperate board for everything about it like hurling for instance. DeVore seems to know well enuff that this shouldn't be done (or does he?).

kingconor from what I have seen you have not been hassled unless you mean my PM to you letting you know that spamming requests on the Sports board was a no no and that you should take your arguement here.

The only other friction that comes up with regard to GAA on the sports board is Croke Park and should it be allowed for "foreign" sports. That always stirs peoples emotions.

I wholeheartedly agree, give them their forum, make them smile. It is badly needed as far as i can see, and i disagree that people would campaign for seperate GAA sports, as GAA sports represent only 3 sports, but "Sport" represents countless subjects. This is Ireland, after all, and therefore the only place that such a forum would have any support at all. Come on, give it a go, if only even for a trial period.
