The OT stuff is part of the reason I come to this site. The other part is the cast of characters. If I just want dry rules and scenario discussion, I'd go to the Fed site. Keep up the good work boys.

The Great Lakes State ...
 

Thank God for fall basketball in Michigan.

Are there any other states that plays interscholastic basketball in a season other than winter?

You're welcome. :D

It was easier giving up red meat.
 

How would you like to see some inane, irrelevant, idiotic, and annoying images? Let me know and I'll send you some by Private Message.

LDUB, that's certainly possible; but I honestly don't think so. JMHO, but there just isn't a lot of basketball to discuss between May and October.

I don't disagree, but...

Lame jokes have a place in a forum. They give a forum a sort of personality.
Users have greatly reduced the number of pictures they have posted.
Crap is nearly everywhere, but it's existence is totally dependent on how it smells to whomever smells it.

This forum needs the Cowboys. Without them the rustlers rustle, or the herds wander away.

I cannot, in good conscience, delete every post that seems silly to me, because I do not want to impose, expose, dispose or transpose a specific character on an open forum.

For my old eyes, the line between facisim and negligence is very wide and kinda blurry.

I am still trying to figure out how is Michigan special anymore with fall basketball? :confused:

Peace

No Need To Thank Me ...
 

You're welcome. However, eventually I will get back to posting images, but they will be very infrequent, and will be on topic.

Thank you, BillyMac.
And post pictures too, will I. ;)

I have no problem with OT discussion, never have complained about it.

My complaint is with basketball threads that are being hijacked with OT crap. And that, there has been an increase in...a huge increase.

Which is exactly the problem.

Nah, don't hand me that crap when I've seen what it can be and once was. Posters and moderators makes a forum what it is

But evidently neither the posters nor the moderators have any control over anything that's posted here. :confused:

Not when they completely hijack a basketball thread.

Those are the ones that need the strongest moderation.

BktBallRef,
C'mon! Don't have control...? Everyone has some form of forum control. What may be lacking is self-control.

If you have a specific with a specific thread, please let me know and I will address it, just like I do when you tell me I screwed up a rule.
But it is not my intent to read every post.

Poster's have two options, self-censoring and attempting to influence others to self-censor. In order to self censor, the poster must believe going off topic is bad and mindless banter should be eschewed. Apparently that sentiment is not exactly universal. As for exerting influence, how is that going? ;)



I've been on other boards where the moderators (I believe you may know one of them?) do a great job of keeping everything on topic. I especially value the volleyball board as it has a much more active base of posters than here and is very informative.

It's also. rather. dull. And don't even get me started on the basketball <s>bored</s> board there. Even the dustups and cat fights are dull. I think that's why so many more of us hang out here. We like it here. And we kinda like it the way it is. Mostly.

I'm probably as guilty of this as anyone; probably a function of a variety of things in my personal life that make me cry out for attention.
Or, I'm just having fun.

Seriously, I'll back off a bit and display a bit more self-control. Mainly because I see your point with hijacking on-topic threads. I can see how it would get frustrating, especially to newer members.

Also because I'm changing jobs here next week and won't have the same amount of taxpayer-funded time to read the board.

Hmmmm, Now what were we talking about again?

You still staying in CO? Just another job within the military? Or are you getting out? Enquiring minds want to know. ;)
