It's obviously not a permanent fix, but I'm glad to see things have been sorted out already. For what it's worth, I can care less whether we are in the heavies or in our separate betting forum. I do think our own separate place is cool though. Like I have already stated, I am in favor of one thread. However, I do think it would be useful to have separate threads, regarding other topics.
I do think there needs to be a separate thread that is stickied for newbies/betting "frequently asked questions". Similar to the thread that EZ opened named "betting questions", but with a more specific title like "betting frequently asked questions, betting FAQs, or betting for beginners" and a more detailed and descriptive first post.
Like I think someone else mentioned, maybe a solution for the people against the "one thread" scenario would be a separate thread where people post their MMA bets and that's it, BETS ONLY. I would be cool with that. Therefore, people who read the main thread just to see people's bets or a specific person's bets they like to tail, can easily access them in the "MMA Bets ONLY" thread. And if they want, they can also post their bets in the main thread as well.
I also think a separate thread for other sports could be useful. That would definitely make the main thread more readable/less cluttered. With that said, I will most likely not be checking that other sports thread out often and might miss out on valuable plays (Miss Universe (lol), CROW's boxing plays, an extremely confident play, etc). Therefore, maybe it can allowed to post non-MMA content in the main thread basically as a heads up or reminder, obviously with spoiler tags just as long as it is valuable information, not a common occurrence, and from a proven and reliable poster. No conversation should result from it in the main thread, though. Example: "Hey, CROW posted some boxing plays in the "Non-MMA betting" thread." or "Hey, Miss Universe is on tomorrow, and I posted a detailed breakdown in the "Non-MMA betting" thread." Obviously, people who post tips regularly on baseball, basketball, etc should stay in the "Non-MMA betting" thread. Nothing against them personally, but people will already know they are posting there. This paragraph might have been confusing, but I hope you guys understand what I was trying to say here.
This way, we will still have our one main betting thread, but it will be less cluttered, and there will also be other threads to check out only MMA bets and Non-MMA bets
I hope this post is appreciated because I rarely write posts this long lol
EDIT: I can care less either way, but like someone else mentioned maybe it would be a good idea to lock the main thread once an event starts, and open up a "LIVE" version of the same thread where we can continue our conversation. I can see benefits to that
