[quote name=\'Dsmith\' date=\'Dec 15 2003, 01:49 PM\'] [quote name=\'Skynet74\' date=\'Dec 15 2003, 01:44 PM\'] I for one absolutely hate Wrestling and anyone I've ever known who is a fan of wrestling has had an IQ no higher than 80. I don't care much more for Nascar either. Anyone I've ever known who likes Nascar seems to be a Drunk. Two very Boring Sports in my opinion. As for Chuck Woolery doing a special segment on CBS. That's great........ unlike Wrestling and Nascar which I prefer to see much less of. :-)

This is exactly why a small sports section wouldn't hurt on the board.  A core groupf of gameshow fans could also talk about sports, as many of enjoy them.

As for John's assertion, I'm only 19--and am not a drunk, and I don't think Chris Lambert and Doug Morris are either.

As far as Chuck Woolery is concerned--is he still selling that fishing lure?? [/quote]
 Not even a sports section, but just a general off-topic forum that was proposed a few months ago. This way, no one would be upset when I make a post saying "I was born in Norfolk, Virginia, but this is on topic because Wheel of Fortune taped there in 1995." :-)

Seriously, though, an OT forum might actually make for some intelligent conversations, and allow some of us to show that we're not strictly game show geeks (i.e. Saddam's capture). I've seen it done at some of the other message boards I visit? Matt?....Chris?

ObGameShow: I was born in Norfolk, Virginia...Wheel of Fortune tapd there in 1995.

My two cents, I think a wide-open Off-topic forum is a bad idea.  The best thing about these forums is that they stay on-topic so well.

GSN has an off-topic forum, which is as bad as atgs if not worse.  And it's given rise to a number of "proboards" forums which seem to be even worse.

I'm sorry to hear that you choose to affiliate yourself largely with the intoxicated and mentally disadvantaged, then, because like with any other interest, I've seen intelligent wrestling fans, and some not so intelligent. And I've seen bright NASCAR fans, and some not so bright. The fact that "everyone you've ever known" seems to fall at the lesser ends of these spectrums makes me wonder about your acquaintances.

This was an utterly asinine comment, and I think it speaks volumes about the OP.

Matt and Chris, as the folks who pay the bills, have chosen not to fund an off-topic forum. This is their right, they're not gonna change their minds, and the sooner you folks accept this the better off you will be.

 When you consider that some of the folks here have journals at livejournal.com (me included), that seems to be a good compromise. Meeting folks in here (and at ATGS and EZBoard) drew me to LJ and I've enjoyed learning more about them. Besides; Matt and Chris did buy the bat and ball, not to mention the sandlot, and they get to set the rules. Pontificate about game shows here; pontificate about the rest of the world elsewhere. (Not to say I've always followed that rule myself).

And as for NASCAR being for "drunks:"
1. My wife, who got me hooked on it, has had maybe three drinks in her entire life
2. I don't drink because of diabetes
3. The NASCAR drivers were recently at the White House. I thought George W. had given up the booze.

OBGameShow: Considering the success of the "outrageous game show moments" blooper show and others of that ilk, why not an all-blooper channel?

uncamark:
I was taking peeks at the skiing during commercial breaks in the Packers game (well, y'know I was in Wisconsin don'cha know, ya-hey dere).  Didn't see Chuck but did see Summer Sanders of "Figure It Out" and "Beg, Borrow or Deal 2" fame hosting the telecast.

And I realized that TWI actually produced the show and Summer's a free-lance, but it seems to me that she wouldn't be on CBS if she wanted to do the 2004 Olympics for NBC--or perhaps she doesn't want to be the swimming commentator and has already decided that Melissa Stark has already got whatever female hosting jobs are available for the Peacock Network (with Hannah Storm over at CBS now).

Maybe.
