Re: Suggestion: Create Subforum for Competition Predictions

When I created this thread, I did consider that. A couple of things came to mind (and they may all be addressable).

Car-nacks Corner lives in the back of the other forums- if it gets used for the more general predictions thread, I'd suggest we move it to the competitions section.

The title is subtle. Those of us ingrained in ChiefDelphi culture probably know about Carnack. But he's been less active recently (with the exception of the two 2016 threads), and having a more obviously titled Predictions thread might draw in those who skim more often, etc.

It's interesting to me that the predictions groups/individuals have chosen to post in the general forum, rather than in Carnacks' Corner. Many of them have added to this thread (thanks for your support!), and perhaps they can offer their reasons for doing so (I presume most, if not all of them, know of and respect Carnack). Perhaps there's an unwritten rule that that subforum is Carnack specific? '

In any case, I think that it's worth exploring fleshing Carnack's Corner out to a full predictions forum. But it might be valuable to consider changing the name and moving the tab (under competitions), at which point it might me just as simple to create a new subforum.
