Re: Random Thought Thread
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MrJ)</div><div class='quotemain'>
Why the name Sports Two? </p>
I'm sorry if it was answered somewhere else, I'm really struggling to navigate around the forum, no pun intended. </p></div>
</p>
Great question. </p>
The first part, Sports, is kind of obvious. We're about sports (for sports fans by sports fans).</p>
The second part, Two, means a lot of things: Version 2, the next generation, 2nd chance, Web 2.0, Two communities (JBB+S2, nfl-forums+S2) are better than one.</p>
Navigation? Are you aware of the pulldown menus at the top of every page? Click on basketball and you get a menu with all the team forums and more.</p>
For the first week or two, the justbball url will point to the "landing" page we made to help jbb folks get on to the site. After that, it's going to point here:</p>
http://sportstwo.com/NBA/</p>
Which is exactly what the JBB forum home page looked like to me with a few enhancements - like the team forums are listed in standings order along with W/L.</p>
Realize we're not just a basketball message board, but that version 2/next generation sports site. Since we have NFL/NCAA football and european football and baseball and hockey and so on, our off-topic kinds of forums are shared among all sports members. So these things aren't on the basketball forums home page, but linked to on the S2 menu or at the top of the home page.</p>
To add a random thought to this thread... You'd think that adding a basketball site to S2 would bring us a lot of basketball-only kinds of fans/posters. Turns out that there's a lot of them that are football (both kinds) fans, baseball fans, etc., and they're posting all over the site. Really good people, too. I'm glad I'm getting the chance to know them all.</p>
Cheers</p>
