Assalam u alaikum

This is to announce that the following threads will be locked and unstickied at the end of the Footballing season
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f22/english-premier-league-liverpool-retain-6735/
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f22/general-football-discussion-uefa-cl-40906/

and this will be taken down in two days time
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f22/official-cricket-discussion-sri-lanka-72165/

This measure is being taken in order to allow for efficient database management (I don't know how it works so don't ask :p) as the threads have exceed 1000 pages already.

These threads will all need replacements so feel free to contact me if you're willing to make one. Any suggestions with regards to naming, format etc. are welcome and can be discussed right here.

Regards

In the off-season the EPL thread should be locked. There should be a WC thread, and another thread for general football discussion and transfers.

@AbbY has dibs on the World Cup 2014 thread.

Should we follow the status quo or would it be preferable to have separate a Transfers thread and another General Football thread?

What [MENTION=801]cobby[/MENTION] said.

IMO during the off-season:
1. General Football + Transfers thread.
2. WC thread.

EPL thread should be locked at that time.

One thread for transfers + General football. Transfers are only in the summers + January so that's very few other games. We'll have a separate thread for World Cup so no intl friendlies. It'll pretty much be Worldcup thread + Transfers thread. General football wont begin till late July so good enough IMO.

- - - Updated - - -

But this time IMO the transfers, or the major team transfers at least should be enlisted (preferably club wise) in the OP. Easier access + easy way to keep track for the casual watcher.

Good idea. One of the complaints that came up by merging Transfers with the General Football thread was that it was hard to keep track of "who got transferred where?".
Which I why I floated the possibility of a separate Transfers thread

Anyone called for the general footy thread yet?

The OP will pretty much be used for Transfer IMO. The regulars already know what match is coming up by the talk in the threads so yeah.

On a separate note, I'm damn sure it hasn't been 2 weeks. When did you bring the old man back :eek:

a general thread is fine for WC and transfers....

but there should definitely be a separate EPL thread...
ofcourse the epl thread has no use in the summers so it should be locked...

and otto... what do you mean up for grabs? i'll make one when this one closes if that is what you meant...

It is proposed that he be the man he shows the world he is with the old gay dude he usually keeps and keeps this for an additional week for chickening out.



Of course, not keeping it will only show the world he's just a coward and actually the girly his avatar currently shows :p

I couldn't find it back then when I had to choose one :(

He means that a new Gen footy thread will be made so anyone - active; who will update the OP with transfers each window - can 'grab' it.

Let's just say I have plans that will make the Footy crowd happy. :shifty: TBA soon.

@AbbY @Behrox @ammarzubair Settle it amongst yourselves who wants the thread. Keep in mind Abs has already booked the WC thread.

I'm okay with anyone who dznt typ lyk ds in proper threads, knows how to punctuate and format. I would've said I'm up for it but I'm not too keen because I know I'll run out of time after this transfer window. I could do it this window if no one else is willing to do that. Plus the amount of notifications in that PMs I get for the EPL thread title edits is monumental. The PMs would just hoard my almost full pm box :p
I was kinda glad someone else got the EPL thread. It's OP is useless as the thread is used merely for discussion no one sees the OP. We could make these threads useful if we could pin the OP somehow so that it's at the top of each page like they have it at Pakwheels. ( [MENTION=1]iNF3RN0[/MENTION] [MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION] [MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION], possible?)

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
