Isopycnic Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 guy's, i know this is a banter forum.. but imho sports really should be in OT/Sports so you can be a part of relevant discussions of your favorite team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude no one discusses ACC basketball in the relevant forum, more discuss here. Only state and duke fans are in the Sports/OT ACC thread usually.

Cold Rain Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If it was out of control all sports talk all the time, I could see having a separate topic or posting in another place. But so far, sports talk has been pretty sporadic, and it's likely to continue to be, unless there's a big game. In fact, there's been much more time devoted to Iceman talk than anything else lately.

packbacker Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 LOL, Ji is "bitter and angry!" http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/39058-bitter-and-angry/ That crew I believe has had 1 good storm since there once in a century winter (09/10) so I am sure they are going crazy, of course same goes for central NC. If they don't cash in this February that would be quite the dry spell. You have to feel they cash in during Feb, they are approaching records for minimal snow totals now.

EmersonGA Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I have one big complaint about this winter other than the fact that everyone around me has seen more snow or ice than me. Tomorrow is supposed to be 70 but it should be cloudy all day. Why can't we have a beautiful torch? All we've had all winter is cloudy and warm or rainy and warm. If it's going to be warm why not have a little sunshine to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why there is a sports forum.....use it I thought anything goes in banter. If I want to say something about a game to the SE folks, I don't see the issue...this thread has 90+ pages for god sakes. Is sports talk really worse than fake accounts with poems and gangster talk? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I have one big complaint about this winter other than the fact that everyone around me has seen more snow or ice than me.

If it's going to be warm why not have a little sunshine to go along with it. I agree. Seems like we've had a lot of cloudy, warm days this winter, which to me is equally depressing as a cold, cloudy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I like the banter thread the way it's been the last 97 pages--a myriad of all types of topics and comments. Maybe it was originally intended as a place to just post weather weenie stuff, but for me, at least, it's been a fun place to visit and get to talk about stuff with fellow southeasterners and get to know some folks. I think it helps us get to know one another a little bit, which I think is a good thing for our community. If you have to go to OT every time you want to chat about a non weather item, it will be too much of a hassle for it to be worthwhile and there won't be nearly as much participation. So if less participation is the goal, then we should do that. On the other side of the coin, controversial topics like politics ad religion, should be done in OT, and lengthy conversations about sports should go there too. The occasional page of rivalry banter and poking, I don't have a problem with...even if the Wolfpack lose 13 in a row to UNC. Anyway, I think the banter thread has been fine, except for the iceman stuff, because although it was funny for a couple of posts, it didn't make any sense. But the nature of the thread really hasn't been a problem for me at all. It's been a fun distraction from the non-winter, for the most part.

calculus1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I hate leaving the southeast sub-forum, because this is the community that I have come to know. I want to talk sports/weather/whatever with the people who frequent this sub-forum. I'll occasionally venture over to the OT forum, but it's a mess over there. I'll echo Jon's and CR's sentiments that having a variety of topics in the banter thread does not bother me in the least. But, if we are truly concerned with having too much non-weather-related banter in the banter thread, then let's make our own OT thread here in the SE sub-forum. Then, I can still talk sports (or whatever) with the community that I most often hang out with. Banter on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Jon....I was talking about Isopycnic's response. I don't mind a few posts that are sports related, but 3 pages is too much. Sports topics belong in the sports forum. There is no place for them here on the weather side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
