Why do so many people post sports threads in General Chat? The religion and politics nuts manage to post in their own little corner without spilling out onto the street, why can't the sports fans do the same? Entertainment "If you have an interest in sports, movies, music or video games (or similar), this is the section for you." You've got your own little section to talk sports all day long, why not use it?
i think in every forum where ever i see general chat it has the most posts, really funny, but the actual reason is that users can talk about anything they want, maybe thats why.
The individual sections of the forum are to keep General Chat exactly that - general. Sport has its own section, it's a pretty simple concept really.
