The forums dedicated to baseball and football have pretty much floundered. There's no reason to think a basketball forum would have fared any better.

The current, hot sports news just ends up here.

If the need for a basketball forum exists, so do the means to create one. So far, none does, but thanks for your concern.

We had a football and baseball group in the old DU and the traffic was almost non-existent within those groups. It was just easier to have one catch-all group for Sports. Since this is a political discussion board, there just is not a lot of traffic for sports on this board.

BTW, welcome to DU!
