AFCN Forum

[Ron Mexico]

So, I was thinking, and since I'm pretty awesome, my thinking usually leads to awesome ideas. There should be an AFC North forum on these boards. I would actually like to have some legitimate football talk with the fans of the other teams. I know that we have the "Around the NFL" forum, but one with only divisional talk could be sweet. Decent, semi-educated conversation could go on instead of the stuff from the Smack forum.

I won't even charge you to use this idea....

This is a good idea, then we won't have to hear from Coltsfan.

Why cant fans of the Steelers / Ravens / Browns use their own forums ? Or you go their to talk to them?

They can, and I do.

Won't lie though,...I don't see your point.

[neek]

Love this idea.

Although we may have to find some educated Pitts and Baltimore fans first...

Great idea.

I want to make Trademark the "official" thread starter. He creates informative threads without getting all uppity about it.

Careful, you know who is going to read this and have an episode.

We'll need to start a hotline to assist them with the CAPTCHA needed to create an account.

It is, and as a bonus, no Coltsfan.

Does it rhyme with Shmurshmiver Shmatt?

[Ron Mexico]

Look everyone,...you can all have your own bright and shiny ****OFFICIAL**** threads. All I want is some legit talk with Steelers and Ravens fans about that division. Instead of people ripping on each other about the 3 teams....well,...4, but Browns fans are rare, we could actually discuss it without people interjecting with decent yo mama jokes.

Seriously....Mods....make it happen!

Please.

Oh, sweet Jesus! I didn't even think of this part!

Do you really think Bengals fans (or any team's fans for that matter) can have this type of discussion about their main rivals without turning it into nothing but arguments? I didn't think so. Thanks for the suggestion, but I just don't see the point when 90% of the Smack forum discussion is already centered on these three teams.

Honestly, I think it could work. Give us a month trial period. If it turns out to be another smack forum, or say we do nothing but argue(which goes on a lot in JN), then shut it down. At least give it a chance.

Yes. Most of them.

I got the idea while trolling other teams message boards. They almost all have a forum for their divison that specifically states "no smack talk". Unless you're saying Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens fans are less civilized than the folks from Houston, Miami, and Jacksonville, then I see no reason why it couldn't work.

I would like them be able to post in the draft forum, and believe it or not; while most of us are goofy in the Smack forum, I'd like to think we could all do an about face in an all AFCN forum or draft forum. It would be something of a Jungle Noise section for our rivals without the smack influence. And I ask you BM, how much dumber could it be than JN this time of year?

You just might have a point there. Alright, I have been convinced to give this a go. I'm still of the opinion this will be nothing more than a secondary smack forum, so go prove me wrong! This will be ready later today.

All talk of the actual significance/importance of the sub-forum aside...

Is there something up with the quoting in there? That stuff is even worse than some user-specific quoting habits.
