Aye as long as it is under community forums I would'nt mind one
The Boards seem to be getting swarmed with boards that never get used.

Yeah I agree with this......

And as for mods I think a level headed *AHEM* accepted mod should be taken on......eg. Cast (/me accepts cash donation from the afore mentioned Boards member)

i think the sports board has too many subjects in it which includes an awful lot of sports and in my opinion the creation of a rugby community board would be good with the world cup coming up

But the current board "Sports / World Cup" could just be left that way so that it would be the same, like atm a good few of the posts are just about the football WC and at the time of the rugby it will be the same so why not just leave it under that board :P

The WC will long be over b4 the new rugby season starts.

Why request a board to dicuss something that isn't even discussed properly on the current sport board. Rugby is still catagorised as a sport, isn't it? The only time rubgy has been discussed is when Ireland are playing (badly), Munster play in the Heinekin cup or London irish in the powergem cup. thats it. No super 12s, no Zurich Premiership, and no irish league topics.

If ppl wanted to discuss rugby they already would be.

As for the build it to the next rugby world cup.....ITS 18 MONTHS AWAY.

Football, as it stands, is the only sport that could justify getting a board of its own.

You guys are really taking the piss. Judging from the amount of Rugby related threads on the current Sports board a dedicated one would be very very quiet. The Sports board can be renamed Sport/Rugby World Cup when the competition comes around or if there is a major uptake of posts then you would have a valid arguement to get a dedicated rugby board.

well in my honest opinion the sports board is too varied and it needs some separating

A rugby community forum would also help encourage interest in rugby.

Please even if its only for a trial period and make your decision then just give it a chance. if it suceeds keep it if not by all means erase it and ill never ask for one again.

seems logical to start a new board at the request of someone who has only posted to TWO rugby related threads on the current sports board. By creatin a board of its own won't increase the number of ppl talking about it. See DBC link for an example of this. If ppl want to talk about something they will. they don't need a new board to do that.

If anything footbal deserves a board of it own, as most of the traffic on the sports board is about football. But i'm not suggesting u do that. I like it the way it is

-=Castaway=- the best thing to do is keep talking about Rugby topics, if you know anyone who is interested in Rugby and has a net connection tell them about Boards.ie. If it becomes apparent that the level of posts warrent a new board then the Admins can consider setting one up.

Tbh I said the same when I requested a Wargames board. It doesn't happen, there was more interest in Wargames during the arguing for a thread stage then there ever has been since.

Nice idea tho.

1) I'm not sure how being rude to other users is going to help your cause much.

2) You want a community forum, great. Where's your community? That's kinda a prerequisite, isn't it?

Its still a BOARD, where is is doesn't really matter. The only difference between community and main boards is generally diecided by who they're for rather that what they're for i.e clans. If you were asking for a board for a specifc club or league i can accept that, but asking for a board on a suject that recives little traffic, and like i said you've only posted to two related topics b4, quite simply baffles me.

But look u got ur board, lets just see and what happens.
