6 Fantasy threads? Really? 

Post#1 » by jcsunsfan » Wed Sep 30, 2015 5:08 pm

I thought this was a Suns forum? Of the top ten threads showing up in this forum, ONLY FREAKING TWO OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT THE SUNS!!!!!

AND its training camp time.

6 is a bit of an exaggeration. I counted 4.

There are only people commenting about the Suns in one thread. The last comment in another Suns thread was Monday I believe. We could unsticky them but they would still be at the top most of the time because people are drafting fantasy teams. They will likely be done by the time preseason starts.

CBA Fantasy draft
Premier League fantasy draft
BringinginDaRuckes is up
Fantasy Basketball Discussion
H2H League
And of course a fantasy football thread

Of the top 12 threads, only two are about the Suns team or present Suns players. And yes, mine is among the ones not about the team.

I tried to avoid the fantasy football one because I knew people would eventually complain about too many but people didn't want football discussion in the fantasy discussion thread, they just wanted fantasy basketball discussion, so I finally obliged. Then of course people stopped posting in that Fantasy Basketball Discussion thread anyway.

I think we can get rid of the Football thread and just tell people to use the boards on ESPN?

That's what I told people to do. I'll leave it here because it is a general football thread as well to discuss Cardinals or whatever. It's not stickied so it shouldn't be near the top often anyway.

You're right, that would make too much sense. Now we have 7, good job.

Who cares? Is it that hard to scroll past threads to start viewing inactive Suns threads? There are 25 threads on the first page(including stickies). Of those 25 more have been in active for 2+ weeks(7) than there are fantasy threads(6).

Who cares.

It's not like their is a solution. These drafts will be finished within a week I'm guessing, and then there will just be one or two with much action.

I'll be honest, I have no interest or involvement in any of those fantasy threads, so it does get annoying trying to pick out the actual Suns threads in the 7 or so fantasy threads that's always near or at the top of the board.

But it is still the off-season, activity is kind of slow and from what I've read, this will be gone by the pre-season so I'll just tolerate it until then

Ive always wondered why youve never played fantasy ball. I thought it would be something youd love, being a hardcore NBA fan.

I've never really been into fantasy comps, it's a little too granular for me. I've been in a 30-person NBA tipping comp the past few seasons and that's about as far as I'd go.
