That argument can't be made for Gaming. Its not as if the main page gets bombarded by Gaming threads either, typically no more than 2, maybe 3 will be listed(2 at the moment: Diablo 3 and a Mafia thread). Seems very arbitrary to make it opt in and not doing the same to Off Topic, for instance.
I agree. Whereas the CyBookie threads take up the whole page...Quote:

Sorry guys. It's impossible to please everybody.
I would have no problem with football either.Quote:

Understand its hard to please all, just my view on it.
You do a better job than most.Quote:

Surely, you jest.Quote:

As I said, I'm opted out to the rivals and the politics, but I can still click on the subforum, read the posts, etc. In the other thread that cyguytillidie made, he showed a message that basically stated "You're not opted in, so you can't view this." I don't get that message even though I'm opted out.Quote:

There are also several forums I don't care about; I'm not all that interested personally in CyBookie, but I think it's great for the site (I'm just not a gambler). What I'll do when I come on is first go to that forum, and mark all as read. That keeps it out of my "New Posts." That's the only workaround I've found so far.
