But NBA is so much bigger than all other national leagues. Why not have one for the NBA (which in general is the main/biggest/best competition), and one for the other national leagues? Just like in football the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and possibly Ligue 1 deserve an own thread and the rest can all be thrown together. 

 

We have a 'subforum' for every Olympic sport, use it. It's ok to have a good number of threads in a 'subforum', that's the whole point of this kind of subforums. A basketball subforum which is filled with all kinds of basketball threads, a road cycling subforum which is filled with all kinds of road cycling threads, etc. Having a subforum about one sport filled with 15 threads (national league, some fun thread someone comes up with etc) really makes more sense than an entire subforum with one 'discussion thread' and one 'all national leagues' thread or something. 

 

If new user A wants to talk about biathlon, he'll go to the biathlon subforum. It's easy, and having 10 threads in a biathlon subforum does not make that harder. The strict thing should be that threads about sport A should be in subforum of sport A (obviously, so there's no water polo thread in the cycling subforum), but inside of the subforums, it really should be less strict. 

 

 

I agree with you about that, but I think it should be the other way around: when there is enough interest for a thread, that thread will have the "rights" to be stand alone thread. And this is what we are already doing in other threads. For example, there were some posts about FIFA U17 World Cup, and those posts have been splitted from the discussion thread to become a separated thread.

 

Of course in a perfect world there would be enough interest and posts about every single event any user open the thread for. And if Lesotho national league will ever become so interesting for users that there will be hundreds of posts about that, of course we would have that thread separated from the discussion thread. But it is normal than in an Olympic Sports forum the club sports gain less interest, so we have to find some general and objective rules to follow all around the forum, because of course NBA will gain more interest than Lesotho national league, but there could be many examples of events/leagues which would gain lots of interest in my eyes and zero interest in your eyes and the other way around.

PS: I have splitted also threads for MLB and NHL so we can have a different thread for each of the top american sports leagues.

 

Now only NFL is missing, if you want to open it
