sports section

[Kiera]

Can you impove the sports section. I find it so difficult to use.

Thank you

It hasn't worked properly for a year. It used to be on the main AnswerBank site and used to be very good and very busy.

Then they killed it.

Doesn't even work properly in my browser. The question box is too small to see your question. I hope nobody pays to advertise on there, because if they are, they are paying for no audience.

I think Craig 007 left in protest

its awful but im afraid the editors are very stubborn on this one?

The most popular question was a week ago (about Bekham) and has had 14 replies. 2 a day.

The SAB is dead. Whoever sells advertising on there could sell oil to the Arabs.

[rugeleyboy]

i dint think they actually advertise on there, i thinks Google call it spot advertising where an advert is placed when there is a reference to a word?

Oh Gromit, so cynical! Lol
It must be easy to flog space on there seeing as apparently there�s �30,000 devoted sports fans� getting the email every week!?! Eh?? Shame only 5 people a week post on there - if you're lucky!? Or might they be fibbing to the advertisers?

[Gromit]

The ads may be google generated, but surely they do not offer that for free.

crikey................ i wonder who wrote that crock of sh1te???

30,000???? ha

[jon1968]

Listen all you doubters out there, it�s perfectly feasible that the 5 people that actually use it forward the links of any activity on the SAB to 6000 of their mates in their e-mail address book� what�s inconceivable about that?

Anyone would think you�re sceptical about the resounding success of the SAB changeover� honestly�.. ahem

Babar Ahmad, the suspected terrorist at the centre of the MP bugging row used to communicate with other al-qeda operatives via the SportsBanks 'Extreme Sports' section.

It is unclear whether this was a genuine mistake or whether they knew that discrete messaging could take place there without risk of discovery.
