Re: Do we need a separate subforum for women's MMA?
I don't really have a horse in this race, as I don't visit the discussion board all that frequently - primarily because the majority of discussion there tends to be around mixed combat and sessions especially.
Right now, there are just four threads on the first page of the discussion board relating to MMA (five, if you count KC's 'fear of getting punched' thread). There are more than twice as many threads related to Sessions and Session Wrestlers (the rest is mainly your standard fantasy stuff... although no 'What if Britney wrestled a Panda?' posts right now ). As someone who only dips into the discussion board occasionally, I do think it's nice to see a little variety of topics there, rather than it being all about mixed fighting and all about session wrestling. At the end of the day, the title of the board is "Wrestling & Fighting Discussion". And women's MMA clearly comes under that description. |

Re: Do we need a separate subforum for women's MMA?
I'd suggest asking this question again when we're more than a couple of days removed from a major women's MMA title fight.
My general thought is that I would not want to cannibalize the main forum by taking all the fun MMA threads someplace else, but it's possible we may be able to generate more interesting threads by combining most of that content in its own space. I think my feelings on the question align with FootPower's.

Re: Do we need a separate subforum for women's MMA?
Yeah, move everything. We're talking about a sport here, not fantasy. A lot of the fantasy fans really aren't all that interested in this topic. Creating two separate boxes makes it easier for the MMA fans to find what they want, and for the non MMA fans to skip.

Re: Do we need a separate subforum for women's MMA?
I personally find it annoying when posters throw in f/f material into what is otherwise a mixed wrestling thread on a mixed wrestling forum site, as if there is no difference. So, anything to keep f/f material separate and clearly labeled so that I don't waste time clicking on it is welcome.

Which isn't quite as catchy. I guess my feelings are that if you start segregating specific (and on-topic) subjects of discussion to separate forums, it might discourage further discussions on the general board about anything that isn't directly related to sessions or mixed wrestling fantasies. And it was only recently in another thread that Zweig was lamenting a lack of discussion on that board... Quote:

A secondary argument would be that it makes the threads easier to find. With Ronda likely gone from the scene, I suspect there will be more threads about different fighters, maybe a thread where podcasts and videos are posted...it seems to be a growing area of interest. Maybe that's just my bias because I tend to follow WMMA closely. |

Re: Do we need a separate subforum for women's MMA?
Ok, I've been badgered into agreeing with the "yes" group. Way to go, fellas! lol You're all making excellent points and I do believe there will be enough articles and clips to keep conversations active, even if we are months away from the next "big" women's fight.
One of the other reasons is that I've now read the entire Rousey-Nunes thread and despite almost all the content being related to that matchup, there are clearly clips posted there that need to have their own threads, which would be far more appropriate if MMA had its own section here. If that sub-board is created, I would like to nominate Stymie to be moderator. He's consistently been the best at tracking down and posting discussion-worthy content.

Re: Do we need a separate subforum for women's MMA?
Yeah, if it were up to me I'd prefer F/F and F/M matches to be seperate topics entirely

Re: Do we need a separate subforum for women's MMA?
I'm in favour of an MMA or FvF combat sports sub-forum. We've got another Invicta event, Shevchenko vs. Pena and Holm vs. De Randamie coming up in the next few weeks.
