I like the idea about 'Year Founded' column as well. It could link to MG archive post of that particular team. Also MG archive could be moved to some other subforum, Race profiles category is the last place where I would look after that archive.
I also like that idea, and it probably should be in either this subforum or ManGame General.
I think it's even in last years race profile forum not the one we are now finishing so it definitely needs to be moved.
I think it should be a sticky in the Team HQ subforum. I'll move it there once I'm done with it (if Roturn allows me that is).
Also, I think he should have threads with historical rankings for each division so we don't have to look through endless pages of the General subforums to see the rankings for a certain division or year.
This. I recently searched for old (2007-...) PT ranking threads and it took me ages to find that there was indeed a PT archieve thread for the first season. Would be cool to see them updated and sticky somewhere. ( https://pcmdaily.c...ost_870202 and https://pcmdaily.c...pid=870171 for PT ranking achieves.)
And also I would merge PT/PCT/CT threads for discussion, rankings updates during the year and predictions before the season to one subforum, similarly as race reports subforums. I feel for a long time that the current format of the forum supports to create bigger gaps between divisions than needed. One big forum for results means that when your want to find out about MG TdF result, you may also then click to find out about Tour of the Czech Republic results. If these are in their own subforum, some people may not care then.
This is certainly true to some extent and i can see advantages in merging race discussion subforums. But, I'm against merging the actual results subforums. I like to look at the history of a single rider over the years and the current structure of the results forums allow me to filter out all races a rider might have raced a lot quicker than without the structure. (The forum search cannot be used for riders with lots of history because it only shows 100 posts for any search term / 200 if you use ascending and descending.)

I think we could have one sticky thread per division with the individual and team rankings in the same post (or consecutive posts) rather than two different threads since it would be easier to see exactly which riders had a big impact on the team rankings.
I'll get to work on those tomorrow since it will also help me while updating the teams archive to have all the rankings in one place (even though only the information for the teams created in the last 3 seasons needs to be added so there's shouldn't have been a lot of division changes there).

Skype sounds good. Also, 5 word description could be fun.
But before going to 2017, let's stop at 2016. World Cycling Center is missing for the team lists (I know it was created later in the season). Any other team that might be missing from that list?
Yes there's some errors in the 2016 list that never got fixed. But WCC has been added into my 2017 list and other errors fixed up
Thanks for noticing, and future correction!
On a separate note, is the MG Skype forum particularly active now that it has been mentioned? I remember many moons ago it was busy around 2014-15 transfer season, but not been 'in' since then. Basically, is it worth getting back on (and if so what are the instructions for doing so?)?

Yep it's active quite a bit but especially transfers, I can PM you a link to join (and anybody else who wants one) if you'd like to, I'd say it's pretty worth it
