When should we close this forum now that the Olympics are over?

[editor]

In a week maybe? What do you think?

 

[souljacker]

Now. Then we can all move on.

 

[the button]

Maybe wait til the last paralympian has had their benefits cut?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There's still SPOTY and it may be an Olympian

I bet a football thread doesn't close every time a team's done the job and finished

The World Cup forum closed pretty quickly after the tournament's completion.

You refused to close last years Man U thread... Why close the forum?

Never! We'll need to light the flame of the next Olympics forum from the embers of this one.

It's a long old job but someone has to do it.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

another board.

Why, when this one is so good?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Only 1,423 days to go!

 

[el-ahrairah]

because i don't care for it, not one jot. *sticks nose in air*

 

[JimW]

I expect you to do the minutes! I'll be, err, out for a bit.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Then turn the page, change channels, or whatever the equivalent is on a BB

Look, Rio has its Olympic site up already

but that would mean doing some actual work

The athletes should have inspired you to get off your arse

*shuffles uncomfortably on sofa*

When can we start the World Cup 2014 forums? also in Brazil...

Wasnt there something a while ago about threads etc that should be preserved? This forum should also be included as its an accurate reportage to the feelings and emotions of a cross section at the time and will never be repeated. Would be a shame if it just disappeared

Good point, and it will be good to look back at in 4 years to compare

 

[editor]

You refused to close last years Man U thread... Why close the forum?

Because we didn't open up a special, dedicated forum for Man Utd's season, and we've always closed dedicated tournament forums once they're over.

Simple, really.

There's no talk of it 'disappearing.' It's always going to be here.

Yes, but can it stay open like the 2008 Olympics one? That never got in anyone's way

Or you could just close that one and leave the 2012 one open until after Rio

A cross section of only people that were actually interested obviously

The legacy of the forum is vital.
