Clicking the tabs will bring you of course to different sports.</p> 2) Menus up top. You can enter any team forum, or you can pull up a listing of the team forums (NBA Standings).</p> 3) You can use the recent activity link from the top menu for each sport.</p> 4) You can click the "Forum" link on the top menu.</p> </p> Now for the name. Sportstwo is named after the concept of Web2.0.</p> There is no clear definition of what Web2.0, but alot of the ideas are the interaction of members, with other members, and members and the site.

Re: Random Thought Thread <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MrJ)</div><div class='quotemain'> Btw, I was having a discussion with some guys here in school about the best emcees of all-time and here's what we had:</p> Biggie, 2pac, Rakim, Jay-Z, and Big L. One of the guys was giving me a hard time because I ranked Rakim over Pac. Then I thought what would DREAM say, lol. Then the next 5 came and the consensus was Nas, Pun, Big Daddy Kane, KRS, but then one guy said Andre 3000. Everybody was like huh? Then I thought about DREAM's opinion again.

Re: Random Thought Thread Dre is in my top 5, he is better than Big L easily....Big L is a pretty one deminsional MC. I don't really like Rakim either yet, I've tried listening to him but he just doesn't seem amazing to me like he does to everybody else...it sucks because I feel like I missing out on something. I'm going to keep revisiting his disks though, maybe they'll grow on me. And Pac is top 5 to, maybe not as an MC, but what he meant to hip hop as a whole.</p> B.I.G., Nas, Jay, Pac, DRE 3.. </p> </p>
Re: Random Thought Thread <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MrJ)</div><div class='quotemain'> Why the name Sports Two? </p> I'm sorry if it was answered somewhere else, I'm really struggling to navigate around the forum, no pun intended. </p></div> </p> Great question. </p> The first part, Sports, is kind of obvious. We're about sports (for sports fans by sports fans).</p> The second part, Two, means a lot of things: Version 2, the next generation, 2nd chance, Web 2.0, Two communities (JBB+S2, nfl-forums+S2) are better than one.</p> Navigation? Are you aware of the pulldown menus at the top of every page? Click on basketball and you get a menu with all the team forums and more.</p> For the first week or two, the justbball url will point to the "landing" page we made to help jbb folks get on to the site. After that, it's going to point here:</p> http://sportstwo.com/NBA/</p> Which is exactly what the JBB forum home page looked like to me with a few enhancements - like the team forums are listed in standings order along with W/L.</p> Realize we're not just a basketball message board, but that version 2/next generation sports site. Since we have NFL/NCAA football and european football and baseball and hockey and so on, our off-topic kinds of forums are shared among all sports members. So these things aren't on the basketball forums home page, but linked to on the S2 menu or at the top of the home page.</p> To add a random thought to this thread... You'd think that adding a basketball site to S2 would bring us a lot of basketball-only kinds of fans/posters. Turns out that there's a lot of them that are football (both kinds) fans, baseball fans, etc., and they're posting all over the site. Really good people, too. I'm glad I'm getting the chance to know them all.</p> Cheers</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread So last night, I was joking with this girl on AIM about hooking up with her and it turns out her dad was logged onto AIM under her account on another computer so he read everything I said. I was just messing around because this girl is like a good friend of mine and we're always kidding around about stuff like that but now I look horrible. Worst part is I always have to see her Dad and now he's all upset and wanting to have a talk with me and stuff. LOL

Re: Random Thought Thread Hopefully I can finally win some money on the sportsbook. I think it was foolish for me to bet on baseball, the games so random and unpredictable.</p> Basketball/football games are safer bets imho. Bet some good money on the Eagles beating the spread on the Packers, so hopefully I can make some money on that.</p>

Re: Random Thought Thread <div>I'm not very confident putting money on basketball. The games are just so random and the scores impossible to predict, even if you like the matchups. Plus, now there's this whole referee thing hanging over it. </div><div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Swish)</div><div class='quotemain'>So last night, I was joking with this girl on AIM about hooking up with her and it turns out her dad was logged onto AIM under her account on another computer so he read everything I said.

Re: Random Thought Thread Wow, this is kinda wierd. How come the font is so small? Everything looks tiny.</p> But yeah, congratulations on the merger, everyone.</p> Now, for the past 5 days I've been getting wasted EVERY-FKING-DAY. Obviously it's not healthy because I wake up every morning to a stomach that hurts, but it's frosh week so we all figured what the hell. Anyway, last night we had a toga party and everyone....I mean EVERYONE...on campus got SMASHED out of thier minds. I was GONE before I even reached the event, but yeah. Unfortunetly, I didn't "get" with a girl yesterday, just ended up dancing with this one girl, who was like "if you were sober, I would have made out with you from the start" or some shit like that. I didn't tell you guys, but the crazy part is I hooked up with some girl on Wednesday,Thursday (different girl), Friday (back to the room of the same girl I was with on Wednesday) and I would have been with the girl from yesterday but I got booked by the organizers. They actually escorted me to my building and stuff, and they said they would tell the Don....not sure if they actually did or not but yeah. I'm done drinking for atleast a week now...frosh week is done, and school's starting tommorow. So I'm checking out my classes today and my first lecture is at 2:30 tommorow so I really wanna go to it. Honestly, we've been drinking TOO much, and I need a break from drinking, although I do enjoy the amounts of girls that seem to throw themselves on me whenever I'm at these damn events.</p> Anyways, the merger looks great, still figuring my way around.</p> </p> Edit:</p> </p> WTF....first of all, I joined February of 2003, andsecond of all, I know I have over like 1 thousand posts, so I don't know why it's so messed up. How do I fix that?</p>
