Season theards were the worst thing to happen to the Sports & Training
Why?

Season threads are easy to follow if the person that starts the thread consistently updates it. I understand some people like to start the threads just for the simple fact of starting a big thread. I don't want to sound like an elitist, but when a season thread is started, the mods could/should make sure that it is started by a member with some form of credibility in this forum.
a thread and not me? Or a better example, for Rockets threads, should it be franchise3 or DrunkenCow? Knicks threads, HTTB, FlatbushFiyah, Mezvoteer?
Headache.
Unless there is a uniform way to do it - for instance, delete/lock the threads after they reach a set number of replies (500? 750?), TS (threadstarter) should update post title to reflect current news, etc - then I can't see the mods agreeing to bring Season Threads back.
I personally loved them. :\

*waits for damn near everyone to come through like, "What? I always said something!" No you didn't. It was always just me, SOMETIMES me + 1 other person, but it was always a different person. "I never saw the discussions." They were all throughout the end of last season and all through summer.
I've never seen the discussions to be honest.@ me then for not seeing it. Seriously, what was the thread titles of these discussions? Maybe I could remember the thread title and then kick myself for not opening it and giving them a piece of my mind.
If I knew that there was a debate about season threads vs game day threads, I would have been there instead of making avys and doing other things.
This sucks. I was serious about having a calm discussion about this with Meth, holden and the rest of the staff. I think I have valid points.
There apparently seems to be numerous NTers that like the season threads and are ready to debate why we like it so much.
To be honest, I swear I have never seen nor heard of a discussion going on about season threads vs game day threads.
And I'd like to add that I miss season threads.

Personally I would want to post something about a game in one of the season threads but I wasn't about to wade through ten pages in a 100 page thread for a game that I just happened to be watching.
Post it in there anyways. The regulars in that thread will automatically know you're not a regular and be more lenient towards you, won't criticize you since you're not a regular (unless they're a jerk). We Warrior fans in our thread only retaliated if someone spit blatant hate (S4L3). I mean if you have nothing but a question, comment, or just want to get in the conversation, we're all for that. Add to the thread... keep the conversation going. Be assertive and don't be intimidated because the thread is pushing 20 pages.

not to mention they only really affect the cali/nyers.
Only Cali/NYers? We had a Toronto Raptors Season Thread, a Chicago Bulls Season Thread, a Phoenix Suns Season Thread, a Houston Rockets Season Thread, a Dallas Mavericks Season Thread and so forth. They're not from Cali/NY.
If you had a team that you wanted to start a season thread for, the by all means go ahead... but if it fails because of a lack of fan base on NT, then go for game day threads.
Seriously, Season Threads are the way to go.
One thing that I'm noticing is that those NTers who dislike the Season Threads, they're really not giving a reason other than it was an "eyesore" or "hard to navigate around". The NTers who are for it (including myself) explained our reasoning on why we are for Season Threads. If you were an impartial judge here, and based on reasoning, wouldn't you decide that we have the stronger case?
C'mon admins, I'm still waiting for word if we can discuss this in a civilized manner... haven't heard anything yet from an admin.
And I'd like to add that I miss season threads.
