    It's not the bumping that you're against. It's the Mixum.

    Everyone else bumps, but on my first bump ever, I chose a Mixum thread. So it devolves into a theoretical debate over bumping.

    The guy many of you seem to dislike was right at about half the time. Roy is gone from the league, Oden basically gone as well, Outlaw is garbage, Bayless is not more than a decent 15 minute back up guard, Webster has bounced back a little but he is still not great. Batum was a scrub offensively back then but has improved only thing he blatantly missed the ball on was LA.

    I've responded to this rant of yours before, I personally don't mind the bumping of old threads. I believe it actually prevents more arguments than it causes. Posts and threads on forums like Oregonlive's disappear after a month so you have people making outrageous posts and then a month later deny they ever said it.

    There are other mods who disagree with me on this and feel that bumping old threads just cause arguments.

    As I've explained to you before I think it's a good thing that the mods don't agree on everything, just like the members here don't agree on everything. It leads to discussions on what kind of community we want.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SlyPokerDog again.

    Bumping old threads to prove a point, such as a prediction thread or a draft thread, is one thing. Bumping old threads for no reason in particular is useless and clutters the forum. Bumping this thread served no purpose other than to create drama about Mixum.

    Both anti-Mixum (NateBishop) and pro-Mixum (MediocreMan) forces are displeased by my bump.

    I am the Great Unifier. No one wants to learn about history anymore.

    You hate the bumping of old threads because you want people to forget how badly you wanted to trade LMA.

    I think you all do a wonderful job. I just wish there was consistency

    Odd, he offered me his wife to keep it open. I just wish he'd be consistent.
