I now it's useless to ban cricket and other useless sports posts (i.e. everythign except soccer) from lounge or soapbox. BUT CAN WE PLEASE KEEP A DECENT RATIO? I mean, just not start yet another cricket post if there's already one lingering at the top. I'm building an unbelievable hatred against this game.

Would you prefer we talk about the war again? That usually gets a good four or five threads at a time and is SO much more fun than cricket ;P Paul We all will feed the worms and trees

The best remedy for you will be to start playing it and get involved in it a bit more. And take two pills of Cricketocin everyday till the 23rd of March. :-D

I recommended adding a Hot Threads forum a couple weeks ago. It would be perfect for the cricket discussion. *shrug* --Mike-- PROCRASTINATION: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now. BUY MY SOFTWARE!! (please?)

How about a cricket forum? Just cricket...nothing more nothing less. For a period of the year it would be a very active one.

I don't even know what it is. Some bizarre game played with a ball and using wierd terms like "bowler". Isn't that a hat? Isn't that the guy who tries to knock down the pins in a "bowling lane"? And people complain about our manias--football and baseball. Well, give them credit for one thing. At least when they say "world championship", they really mean it. Unlike us Americans, where the "World Series" is so US-centric that I'm ashamed for my fellow US citizen. But then again, there are a lot of other reasons to be ashamed right now, and pro-sports and their salaries is near the bottom of the list for now. Marc Help!

Come on peterchen we very kindly moved out of the Lounge (well most of us, don't blame us for the idiots who still post in the Lounge) and into the Soapbox to spare people. We put up with the soccer world cup and that was in the Lounge! Have a bit of patience until the end of our madness. It comes only once every four years and the rest of the time we are quite quiet about our obsession. Maybe the CP forums need a Keyword Filter option? So you can enter "cricket" and then any posts with that word in it do not appear for you? Hmmm, I am going to go make a suggestion.
