Thing is, I get great responses from people that play historical. The "people that play historical" is the important part. At the same time. having Brad's great Pirates report in the same thread is wonderful. Same thing goes for Luckyman's reports. At no time have I felt the presence of those reports hampered my ability to get answers or simply discuss the historical game. Separating long running sim reports from game play discussions is just another way of empowering the Forum Patrol Boys. The folks that like to dictate where and how things can be posted. Nobody knows each other in the general forums anymore, because heaven forbid someone go a little off topic. The minute it happens the patrol boys scream bloody murder and demand it be moved. At least when historical has it's own forum I have a place to go when I get tired of the OOTP should be a soccer sim crowd.

I agree.
