I believe that we still need an Orlando Pride Sub-forum. It seems the powers-that- be are reluctant to create a new sub-forum. Here are possible work-arounds that avoid creating a new sub-forum: 1) Least effort – I think a)Re-name the “NWSL Expansion” sub-forum: “Orlando Pride” b) start an “NWSL Expansion” thread in the “NWSL” forum and put a stick pin on it. c )let all the non-Orlando Pride threads in the old NWSL Expansion” sub-forum wither away. 2) Variation a)Re-name the “NWSL Expansion” sub-forum: “Orlando Pride” b) start an “NWSL Expansion” thread in the “NWSL” forum and put a stick pin on it. c) Move all the non-Orlando Pride threads out of the re-named sub-forum and put them in the “NWSL" Forum. They will either be kept alive there by posters or they will wither away If there is a 3-stick-pin limit, then I recommend taking the pin out of “International Dates: Catch-all thread”
The resistance isn't to creating an entirely new subforum - the mods have been similarly inactive on renaming the "WPSL and W-League" forum despite the W-League have folded months ago to be replaced by UWS. They just don't seem to care about WoSo. Besides, I am massively against funneling all expansion discussion into a single thread. The Expansion subforum should stay as such.
Get your act together! Need to make some changes to the process of adding or deleting. This taking all the time to just add Orlando is ridiculous. Can we expect the same or worse, if two expansion teams are added for 2017. Need to make it an easier process, as well as quicker process.
Please add an Orlando Pride subforum under the NWSL subforum. Lots of interest on display for this expansion team. Reportedly they have > 5K STHs already and will probably be battling Portland for attendance crown and great fan support. Thank you!

Do I need to add my voice to this? Also while you are at it, can you update the list of favorite teams one can select from? You still have teams from the now defunct WPS but still don't have any for NWSL teams as we enter year 4.
This literally made me laugh out loud. YES, PLEASE to the update! Should we start a new thread for this petition? Or maybe wait until Orlando Pride's sub-forum is done...one thing at a time, I guess.
This team has officially comprised one tenth of the NWSL for almost five months. The season starts five weeks from tomorrow, and it's an eventuality that the Orlando Pride sub-forum will be just as populated as any of the other nine teams' sub-forums [if not more so]. Might as well set it up now. Add my name to the petition. Well technically there is one for an NWSL team: Sky Blue FC. Only by the grace of it surviving the WPS and the inter-league hiatus to be reborn into the new league. But yeah, this bothers me as well. I will also gladly sign this petition, if there is one.
