umpire Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 How should IPL Forum die 1) Slow death: Let it be open for few more days 2) Instant death: Freeze the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The IPL bar should close within 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineleg Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 IPL forum should remain open forever. Anyone should be able to create a thread on it anytime. I'm sure as days go by, the responses and threads will slow a lot, natural slow down to virtual standstill. Still once in a while, news and articles on IPL will crop up and will be posted here. No need to shut anything - free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outsider Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Probably merge it with the main cricket forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 GAMBIT.. can u do this add a tab of ipl forum inside cricket discussion forum. next to the tabs of cricket articles, archive match threads etc. and close the forum so that no one can post we can re open it again and move when the next ipl starts next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomainK Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I think it should just remain open for ever....IPL will continue year after year....so why should the forum die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineleg Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 No, dont close the forum. There will be news and articles for next months, and instead of posting them in Cricket Forum, let them be under the IPL forum itself. It will slow down naturally over time.

Guest Hiten. Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Don't close this forum. I am addicted to it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outsider Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The whole point behind having a separate IPL forum was to avoid other cricket threads and posts from getting obscure on the 2nd-3rd pages immediately in the flood of IPL posts - that won't happen now so the entire forum can just be merged with the cricket forum. As ba$tardized as it is, IPL is still cricket. Not worth having users going to two different forums anymore when they login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IPL forum should be frozen like the Old Match Threads forum. It will be opened when the IPL comes around next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As ba as it is' date=' IPL is still cricket.[/quote'] Why merge it with cricket forum ? IPL is here to stay, Mr. purist :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineleg Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Shwetabh, Leave it separate. There are many threads, and it is easier to "search" later, and find etc with separate forum. No need to merge and make it difficult to find, and post in future. This folder organization is good :thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
