    Is it just me, or does our forum actually contain the most intelligent discussion? I hit the "new posts" button, and occasionally read other teams forums when the article looks interesting. I have to restrain myself from pulling my hair out sometimes! I think some people migrated from LakersGround.

    Where the Magic forum has about 5 good posters per every unaware member, it seems to be 1 good poster to every 5 unaware ones. I actually got an infraction the other day in the Raptors forum, because I had to inform a few people that Morris Peterson was not Jesus incarnate.

    Sorry, I just had to say it. Keep up the good work I guess. [​IMG]

    Yeah we have one of the better forums on JustBBall because everyone seems to know what they are talking about.

    We do need to crack down on the one-liners (myself included [​IMG]) because JBB is getting pretty strict on those. If you make a post, try to contribute to the discussion as much as you can. That way it doesn't seem like your post padding.

    Other than that, I think we're all doing an awesome job in here. The other day I hit the new posts button and the top 5 or 6 posts were all from here. Keep it up guys.

    Yeah, I try not to post one-liners, except in the off-topic forum. That's probably why you don't see me posting in every thread. Usually, if I don't make a post, that means what I wanted to say has already been said, I don't want to be repeating stuff.

    Oh and you guys can make one-liners in the Lounge. That doesn't matter.

    It was worth getting an infraction (I don't even know what the hell those do) to inform the Toronto fans that they were incorrect.

    I'm surprised I haven't gotten more infractions. I'm an a$shat. [​IMG]


    Oh, and what the hell is post-padding? I thought we didn't display post counts to nip that in the bud.

    edit: Holy **** Swish. 4,600 posts? You are the padder! [​IMG]

    Yes, yes you are. [​IMG]

    Oh and if you get a certain amount of infractions, you can get suspended. If they continue to rack up, I think you get banned.

    Your posts are visible in your profile and you need a certain amount of posts to view things like the Design Forum and the Off Topic Forum. I think JBB just wants to prevent members from posting one-liners so that they can gain access to these forums. Also, one-liners don't really contribute to a thread as much as a well thought out post would.

    Damn, I didn't even realize how many posts I had. I've been on here for too long. [​IMG]

    Am I missing a joke or something? Last time I checked Morris Peterson > Jesus

    You sir, deserve to be banned.

    That's because Jesus is always being called the next big thing, but sometimes I think he's overrated.

    He's got great potential, but there's just too much hype. It's like they're purposely trying to make him sound like he's god's son or something.

    It's the Lounge so really nothing in here is post-padding.

    I was just kidding Swish. lol

    Don't worry, you don't get the ability to gauge irony until you're 17-18. It's okay to take everything at face value. [​IMG] [​IMG]


    (Don't take that at face value)
