Well how can you count the number of posts about rugby when they have to be categorised as "other"!? Seriously, cricket and rugby are such major international sports that it's ridiculous not to have them as categories.
salmacis, you look at the fpp. Like, the content. I don't think the issue is how major a sport is, internationally or not...I think what matters is whether it's major on Spofi. BTW, I say this as someone whose major interest is in sports that are minor at best on Spofi.
Okay, lbb, I tried that. I can only see the last months worth of "Other" posts and looking at the archives for a specific month doesn't include the Category of the post so I'll have to do a more time intensive study later. On to preliminary results, for the five posts put in the Other category for the last month, 3 are cycling related, 1 is Rugby related, and 1 is about ESPN's search for some city to name as Titletown.
lbb, I don't follow or agree with your reasoning at all. Either this place is open for all sports fans to join us, or not. We're not some clique.
I don't see the harm in making more categories. Unless there is some coding hassle it does little more than make it slightly harder to scroll through the FPP topic list when posting a link.
