At the beginning of the season, the game threads had over 40 pages each. Lately, we barely hit the 20s. Where did all the excitement go? Was it Nik and magnifier getting a life? Or is there more to it than that?
Winning is boring. It's much more fun to argue with people when we're losing Actually, I think a lot of people were posting during the big winning streak, and we've seen some people taper off since then.
The new one. It's cool. Everything is better. Especially the mods. Which are single Asian women looking to meet American Blazer fans.
I missed last night's game, and I'll miss tonight's. So that answers the thread title. I'll be back tomorrow, so stay cool
Serious answer, we have the same number of people for the most part posting in game threads. What is different is the team is winning. Less complaints about players and coach during the game. Less arguments between people over those complaints during the game thread. Less complaints, fewer arguments means fewer posts per person during the game thread. When the Blazers are winning we mods don't have to edit posts in the game thread. When they lose people get pissed and unfortunately we have to edit or delete posts.
This just isn't the board's year. Let's hope the team sucks next season so we can resume killing each other.
Also, 20 pages of thread is nothing to shake at. I like to read other teams' message boards to get a feel of what they feel... and I think only 1-2 teams have ever had the activity on game threads like we do (Cleveland, surprisingly, is one of them)
Plus with every celebratory drink I slip deeper into my alcoholism. But its still more fun than the depressed alcoholism of seasons past
Or quite possibly posts are getting longer and filled with more graphics? I've seen pages where there are like 2 posts due to the pasted replies...Same graphics with four words underneath them multiplied by 6 repeating video clips...just food for thought. Game threads I tend to say something before a game, at halftime and after the game, not that anyone would notice of course but I'm fairly new to this site. Also I understand the loose standards but my 10 year old granddaughter, (Blazer fan) cannot handle some of the content nor should she have to so I recommend she avoids it. I've had a lot of complaints from Blazer fans that graphic language and sexual conotations some use here make it less than family friendly for younger fans. There's a time and place for bar talk but you could clean up the game thread so that it doesn't exclude many fans from enjoying it. I dunno, maybe you mods prefer it this way.
Mods started getting angry at posters during game threads, so posters have been banned. That tends to cut into how many people post in a game thread.
But those show LMA shooting JUMPSHOTS, dood. He shoots JUMPSHOTS. Get it? Here, I'll post yet another graph of his JUMPSHOTS.
That explains it. All the 10-year-olds who used to post to the game threads have abandoned us. The best thing about this site is the libertine philosophy of owner and moderators. You've "had a lot of complaints." Are you an ombudsman?
