Isn't there a way to link the main board on the top here? I think that would help out... truth be told, i don't watch anything other than blazers basketball.....just no time really.
that commercial makes me laugh. Lincecum really does not have the look of the most dominant starter in baseball, at all. My dad is a Yankees fan too. On a side note, I've been lucky that I have actually seen to of the greatest players in UDub's history (Roy and Lincecum) live back when they were in college.
There are great opinions in every team forum and I enjoy talking to the old Raptors/Nets/etc. fans that we have. I think people should try to branch out a bit, you don't have to be a fan of another team to do that.
of course, when someone tells others to read the rules because what he is doing isn't against them, i would assume that at the very least he would have read the rules himself and had some understanding of what they meant. that clearly was not the case here.
That may be true - if when I go there I'm not the only one viewing the forum and there haven't been any new posts in over 12 hours. Hard to learn much when the place you visit seems abandoned. It's funny, I never visit the Blazers forum on BBF anymore - because it's a ghost town. But, when I want news on another team, I head straight for BBF - because ALL the other team forums on S2 are ghost towns. BNM
So? That's quite clearly not one of my goals, and I'm not the only one who feels that way. Also, I hate you BNM. Not only do you distract me with the word "boob," you have a habit of writing what I'm thinking, just far more eloquently than me.
Re: About my thread Lakers being Suspended I don't see any other clubs doing this. Do you really want to go to visiting team arenas when your Lakers are labled this and then suddenly your in a fight with some local fans and your kid gets pushed? Aren't you concerned a little about your teams behavior on the court?
High visibility does not have to mean bad things. Justin.tv is a wasteland of idiots in the heat of the moment who have no moderation what-so-ever and are in an immediate conversation setting. I imagine some of them would be more engaging and productive in a message board setting. And if not you could put the bad ones on ignore and engage with the good ones.
Very true. Some of my most interesting discussions at OLive were back and forth with Nets fans about possible trade ideas involving Vince Carter and Devin Harris. It was fascinating how fans of other teams value your players/their players vs how you do.
lol you should care maybe because you post here @ S2 Woah...don't associate me with the Laker fans, I'm of much higher class than them....Utah>Portland>LA
Why do I come here? I dunno, because I love to talk sports? Because a good debate is always fun? Because, despite the crap experience sometimes, there's still some good members in here to debate with? Or, better yet, simply because I can. And why post that it's not a good experience a majority of the time? To make you guys realize that you can be jerks to outsiders maybe? That's probably why. And your initial post of questioning why I'm here certainly made it sound like you wanted no part of my being here. And I'm glad that you hate me being here, because I've done soooo much to wrong you. So sue me if voicing my honest and non-biased opinion pisses you off because it differs from yours
Re: About my thread Lakers being Suspended My Lakers aren't labeled shit. All I see some is someone who clearly doesn't understand the term "sample-size". Now, answer my question. Why does your "research" only extends to 4 years ago? why not 5, or 6, or 10?
Exactly.. and I have some really good conversations on Lakersground of all places.. its funny because some of them try and treat me like crap because I am a Blazer fan.. then 50% of the forum backs me and goes after their own. People just have to realize to not be an ass and dont look at things as "your team rules all and if we dont go 82-0 its the ref's fault because there is no way our team can lose fairly." (I know you arent like that cloudy dont worry lol)
The layout around here lately is very nice, however that wasn't always like that and posters left because they were unhappy. Luckily that has changed and we are hoping to improve that. Team forums are stagnant but there is enough new material to read about when you take all those small team forums into account. The New posts page usually returns a decent amount of material. Also the general off-topic section here is funny and relevant to any fan I think.
it takes on rotten apple to destroy a whole batch.... alright, the justin.tv comment was harsh, but while there are some positives to higher visibility, there's also some drawbacks, enough so that I don't see how going out of my way to promote S2 would be to my advantage.
Perhaps he posts about how he doesn't like it so we can all take a moment to examine ourselves in our best objective attempt and realize that we don't have to be jerks automatically to other teams fans under assumptions that they're here only to hate on the Blazers. I don't think any of us would like that assumption placed on us if we were trying to visit another team's board in a respectful manner only to be met with a lot of subtle FUCK YOU YOU STUPID HOMERS.
Re: About my thread Lakers being Suspended You see any Blazers, Jazz, Nuggets, Clippers, Warriors, Suns, T-Wolves doing flagrant on the last 4 years on your team? I think not. Do I have to post again what Kobe and Odom have done in the past 4 years? Lets see Odom is "again" suspended 1 game for leaving the bench vs Portland. You have to prove to me that the Blazers have left the bench or have drawn flagrant 2 fouls in the past 4, 5, 6 years on your team. Why should I go past 4 years? This isn't necessary good for the Laker organization for having this many problems in the last few years? I am not hating the Lakers but seriously this doesn't seem to look right in the public eye and the rest of the league.
Because 80% of those participating in this site are fans of that one team. Again why exactly do you think it's my duty (or the duty of any Blazers fan) to generate traffic in the other forums? I honestly don't care if there is ANY traffic in the other forums. And, if S2 dies because of it, I don't care. The majority of the posters in the Blazers forum have migrated en mass from other sites on multiple occasions. If S2 isn't viable in the long run due to the lack if interest in the other team forums, we'll just move again. There is really nothing special about this particular site. It's just our latest home. The forum software is pretty much the same everywhere. What makes THIS forum special is the posters. Wherever they go, I go with them. BNM
Well s2 seems to be one of the nicest on the internet and eventually you will run out of competent places to go to.
Re: About my thread Lakers being Suspended Why aren't you answering my question? Let me try again: Why does your "research" only extend to 4 years ago? why not 5, 6, or 10?
