the linking still needs to be fixed though...opening links in new windows that is...

If you use Firefox, you can open links in a new tab by clicking with the center/wheel mouse button.

We're open to the idea of opening new forums however I think having too many can be a bad thing. I guess my question is - why not post them in BT if they are interesting?

I think it would clutter BT, but you do have a point, not nearly as many new posts are being made on BT as in the past.

Yeah, I'm fine with leaving them there. That's how a good portion of baseball threads begin anyway, with a link/article.
