Jeff, can you put the independent school lacrosse threads back where they belong?

Second, I'll let some of the previous posters speak for me:

We of the Travel Soccer teams around NOVA community beg to differ. There's plenty of room for you crazy navel gazers on the Sports and Fitness forum. As a PP mentioned, even if you can't figure out how to make the jump from the Private/Independent School forum to the Sports one, you should be able to master Recent Topics with a little help. Ask one of your children to show you how.

This is not exactly how I would have put it, but there is a tremendous similarity between the travel soccer threads and the LAX threads. Not only are LAX and soccer both sports, but the posters have a lot in common. Birds of a feather and all that.

I am one of the people who asked Jeff to move it to sports. If the thread focused on independent school LAX, that would be one thing. However it quickly deteriorates into a general LAX thread, talking about other leagues and club teams. That is why it belongs in sports. .

This is another important point. Regardless of the topics of the threads or how the started out, they have both gone wildly off-topic and are less private school LAX threads than simply LAX threads.

Thanks Jeff...glad to see you agree with common sense

Jeff, please reconsider. Check out the recent traffic. I can't explain why. Only that you lose readers on those threads in the sports forum. What about establishing a single lacrosse thread under the private school forum?

If you can manage a single independent-school related lacrosse thread, I'll tolerate it. But, if it doesn't stay on-topic, it will be moved again.

Also, why I am at it, please stay away from discussing identifiable students and staff in negative ways. Nobody needs to have their reputation dragged through the dirt on by anonymous posters because of how they play with sticks and balls.
