Default Should we have a temporary Spygate forum?

I know this was brought up in September, and I'm normally not one to complain and will just skp posts I don't want to read, but right now I believe EVERY SINGLE PAGE 1 POST is on SpyGate. This is insane.

Do you think we should add a temporary SpyGate forum?

This has been a rough time for Pats fans and IMO it's important to let people vent loudly. Once minicamp starts people will naturally become reengaged with actual football, just as many were at draft time. In the time being I don't see the need to segregate LIEgate opinions.

I wouldn't mind having a separate forum. I find myself reading them, despite a lack of interest, because they are the only thing available.

Leave it in the main forum. It will eventually run its course. It just happens to be a hot current topic at the moment and most members want to be up on it.

I don't know, I hear the "it will run its course" POV, but I mean if draft threads were being moved/confined to the draft forum up to the day of the draft, I see no reason why we couldn't do the same with SG threads. It's just one click away...

Tune is right. The volume of threads on a particular topic on this board usually fall in line with the volume of media coverage of a particular topic.

Sure and the mods will be Tomase, Specter, and Schlereth.

How about a separate forum for all the juicy gossip? We could call it the sewing circle.
