I know these are "off-topic" posts, but Lakerfan4life currently has 20 new topics in the OT section...and that's just the 1st page.

Of those 20 topics, there is a total of 6 replies.

I don't know, maybe everyone else loves reading random Hip-hop and WWE news...but that's basically all that is on the OT thread anymore.

It's getting borderline overload.

I like to scan the news too, it's of interest and all, but honestly I could do just as well looking at a hip-hop news site. As surfbu says, there don't tend to be too many replies, so it's not like there are many full-blown discussion threads that come from these.

I'd be in favor of creating a sub-forum to the OT forum, or if there's enough interest, a full-blown hip-hop forum (though that seems to get away from the general mission of this site).

Or just make one big Wrestling thread for all wrestling. And maybe another forum for Music(not just rap) or a forum for TV and Music(entertainment) in one.

I see your point - but if there's just one thread, it will be huge - like, 60+ pages or so. I don't know about you, but why would I want to search through all that to find this:

Cafeteria lunches – usually horrific in both taste and effect on the body – is at the center of a new contest from rapper 50 Cent as part of his new campaign to encourage healthy eating habits among today’s youth

I would rather learn about 50's concern for our nation's youth's eating healthy without putting forth maximum effort.

I learn something from all the hip-hop threads too. I mean, Tre' Quan Jeezy is collaborating with Young Deep Sheeq on a new diss track-joint. Li'l Mobb is rapping on Fl'Quad's 5th release, entitled "Me Against the (MF) World (Street Hustle, 3rd Tier)". And let's be honest, Fl'Quad hasn't had anything worthwhile since he left Skreet Thuggery. See, I didn’t know what a Tre’ Quan Jeezy was prior to clicking the thread. My thought was that it was an Iraqi province, but I was proven wrong simply by clicking.

I don’t know about you, but if I’m ever on Rock N Roll Jeopardy, and one of the categories is “Random Hip Hop Stuff”, then all this stuff will come in handy. Also, I wonder if someone could post a hip-hop language decipherer link, so when people start using all these terms I don’t get, I can translate as I read it and not miss any of the action! See, sometimes ‘bad’ doesn’t mean ‘bad’. (I learned that on one of the threads too – proof positive that they work!).

**EDIT – I see it’s already been made a ‘sticky’. Not ‘sticky’ as in the generally accepted, yet incorrect term for “Post It Note”, but sticky as in “One Thread”. Thanks a lot surfbu.

If you want a separate forum for WWE and hip-hop then go to those other forums.
