    I'm crusing on realgm right, and then I see jayserinos99. Sad because JBB is so much better than realgm [​IMG] But just an interesting sighting

    Same thing about the ESPN board. It sucks, but I cruise it and see a ton of JBB members on there...

    JBB is not the only message board around guys. Just because you post on one, does not mean thou shall not post on any other message boards. If this board is slow then by all means; post on other boards. But this board is still the best in terms of layout and quality posts...

    I know it's slow, but don't worry things will pick up, fellas. At least here we're not really talking ourselves into circles here (well maybe I do, but it's because I usually have a lot to say all at once).

    Anyway, here is my take: I think on larger sites, things get redundant a lot more often because several guys join in and many don't read all the other good posts, so things start over in another vicious cycle of the same things being said over and over again. Then guys like Kwan, Walker, Cohanhater and some other guys who I immensely respected and learned from on the ESPN board, got thrown in the background because so many people were posting at once and not really listening to them and what others had to say. I think people were posting merely to hear their own voice rather than contributing to the topic or continuing on an interesting point or two. So I thought their contributions would be great in a smaller, quieter audience where their stuff would get seen more and people wouldn't have to shout to get attention. If I was lurker (and I had been for sometime), I'd love to read something that isn't 100 posts long from 30 different users and a few of those actually saying something that isn't covered yet. The hugest problem was my method to find new users was somewhat lame (posting thread advertisments) now I just try to broadcast the JBB brand name and hope people will decide what's best for themselves in terms of the crowd.

    Also the other thing I like is that we're in a small, diverse group, we know each other, we're on the same page pretty much and we know where each of us is coming from so we can agree to disagree and we can learn a few things from each other and still argue and be friends. One of the reasons why I was on ESPN and some other sites trying to grab some more guys, is because ESPN failed to do anything about the trolls, the feedback was inaccessible and they failed to improve the site like Justbball and realgM have done with their site features. The reason I fell in love with JBB is because they don't spam you as much as realgm and the mods are a lot cooler and the demographic seems to be more mature and intelligent. They deserved a good following IMO.

    Plus, I may be in the minority, but I want to go to a site where the majority of posters make sense and can teach me a few things I don't know or raise some interesting topics, facts, while limiting arguments based on sheer opinion. I get bored of the same old topics like What place do you think the Warriors will finish this year? or will the Warriors make the playoffs? like 10 jillion times ad nauseum. I like to be shown that the guys discussing topics know their stuff and are going to be polite and intelligent about it.

    Also wanted to point out that Warriorfansnc93 and J-Rich23 are hands down some of the best Warrior fans out there and it's always a pleasure to read what you two have to say. Go Warriors!

    Er, it's offseason and there aren't really too many things to talk about, especally when we are not doing much in offseason. Besides, JB doesn't provide enough hunting materials. We have no trolls, no insane trade proposals, no mislead infos, no personal attacks, but just bunch of good, polite, and educated posters -.-...

    Call us boring, but that is what makes this board so great. Well, except for the insane trade proposals. There are quite a few of those floating around from time to time. But then again, so would a trade proposal of Speedy Claxton and some other trash for Baron Davis...

    Exactly, I find out about some random signings and things off-topic on the ESPN board more often than from the news (pretty ridiculous). Plus, Many people come to the ESPN board for the first time and post a "new" topic. At JBB, you can see if it's been posted before, plus, you get a lot of kids and trolls over there. I still throw a post out there every so often if I see the thread looks like it's up to snuff, but usually it just gets ignored, or some troll starts flapping his gums. I always check this board first. If it's slow, I peek over there.
