If you go to 'Unread topics' you can select only those forums you're interested in and not see unread topics for the other forums.

They are gone, I can still see them from the moderator panel of deleted topics/events.
 
You can have a look of deleted events searching on the single sports calendar in the results portal. Example: Football 2020 Calendar The Postponed/cancelled events are at the end of the list.

Can't wait for the 20164 Olympics, I wonder which planet they'll choose this time  

Martinique ()   has a new flag:
 
Also the flag of Saint Martin () is a hoax and was never used. https://fotw.info/flags/mf.html 
EDIT: Actually @Sindo they don't use any flag besides French. The one I'd linked before is dubious too. So maybe we could just turn ":MAF" into the French flag for now.

I have a bit of experience with Wordpress. Don't know if it's enough but maybe?

@Sindo Could we please change the name to World Games 2022?

I am willing to help, even if I am not a computer pro

Hello guys,
 
since all sport events are suspended for some months, I would like to think about some ways to improve Totallympics.
 
First of all, I have thought about a system to provide results on the forum, like we were doing in the past. I will give more details at a later stage but users interested to help with that can let me know so I will keep them updated and we can make some tests before the competition start again.
 
Also, we would like to merge https://games24.totallympics.com and https://qualifyingtothegames.totallympics.com/ websites into a single one. If someone is interested to help with the content of the website is welcome, but more than that we would need some help in the web design. The website is using Wordpress, has someone here any experience with Wordpress or with web design in general ?
 
If so, please let me know here or through Private Message, any help will be appreciated

I'm able to help with results

Exactly 4 years ago the new Totallympics forum had been opened
 
Many users remained, some users left and some new users arrived, but overall I think it has been a beautiful journey which is of course always in progress.
 
Here you can find the first thread and the very first posts of the new Totallympics: Totallympics New Start
 
Happy Birthday Totallympics!

Damn you corona, i just lost work by this shit 

There is already a Facebook group when the forum is down: https://www.facebook.com/groups/284207021658208/
 
The forum allows multiple people Private Messages and the PMs can be used almost as live chat, so I will never support the idea of moving it on an external social/website Of course that does not mean you can't do it

Most online communities I've been part of have seen a huge drop in activity once people started thinking it'd be a good idea to have a WhatsApp group or whatever  Nothing that can't be posted here I guess, either in public or in private messages/chat, so I can't really see the added value at all (and like Sindo said, there's also a Facebook group that's used when the forum is down)

3651 is the number of new cases-deaths-recovered people. Very useless number, so 5974 is the number of new cases of the day.

OK, so let's make a deal - breakdance in your prime time, everything else in ours.

It's curious how also experts are so different in terms of their opinions. For example John Ioannidis is extremely well-respected in the field of epidemiology and has said we have to differentiate between the actual epidemic and 'an epidemic of way too strong reactions by governments'. According to him, all the current precautions might save lifes, but mostly lifes of people who otherwise might have died of influenza instead of this coronavirus. "Only this year every case and every death is cause for alarm in the media."
 
There's plenty of others, like Thomas Friedman or Nobel Price winner Michael Levitt, who are warning that the current precautions might cause significantly more damage than the actual virus. Economies are slowly being brought to their knees, which results in more deaths due to people losing their jobs by the thousands or even millions. The difference is those deaths are less visible and are spread over a longer time period and so won't be noticed as much.
 
It's extremely difficult to know exactly what the right thing is and where to find a much-needed balance, but both letting the virus roam free and shutting down everything don't seem like very wise options..

It really, very much should not be. If you make the economy our last priority right now, countless more people are going to die and at the very least have their lives go to shit because of it.

You were quicker than my edit, yes.
