    Denny if you the one in charge of this board your bullshit the other day really screwed this board up, You defended trolls using multiple SNs & did nothing to back up the members that have been loyal to this board & have helped make it successful. You've been rude, crude, insulting & basically an over all ass. And because of it I already see the volume of threads, posts & posters subsiding.

    Trueblue, if you're the man in charge do yourself & the future history of this board a favor...........................Get rid of Denny.

    Feel free to post a link to the new site you all want to move to. I won't delete it.

    Don't let the door hit you in the fanny on your way out.

    No link Denny, that's really not necessary, but your response proved my point. You don't give a rats ass about this board.

    You lost my interest a long time ago.

    Good luck with the moderators at the next place you'll be booted from.

    One last question Denny, just out of curiousity. If I'm booted, I'm booted but I just gotta ask, You've had this site for 7 years, over 42.000 posts and yet you really don't care about keeping this thing together & doing what you can to keep the posters you have. Why? I mean if you're tired of it just hand it over to someone else.

    And as far as suppying a link No Denny I wouldn't do that, Out of respect to the board I wouldn't do that. And THAT'S! where you & I differ. And just for the record I've NEVER been booted off any board. Good luck to you.

    I've been running bigger forums for 15 years, and this Yankees forum is puny. You were supposed to grow it. Instead of making it inviting to potential new posters, you accuse them of being cowards using multiple usernames. The front page of your forum is full of anti gay threads and troll topics. No wonder it didn't grow.

    Worse is when you chased guys off, they went elsewhere and bad mouthed this site.

    I'd rather this site be known as the one that booted the klan than the one that they call home.

    Buh bye.

    What Anti-gay threads? They're called OPINIONS Denny, like assholes, EVERYBODY has one. And you're talking about ONE (1) over sensitive poster (ricky Spireal) who because no one would agree with him got all flustered, took his ball & went home. And yes he bitched & moaned about us calling us racists, bigots & rednecks. And people like me, and a few others went to that site & defended this board & made HIM look like a BS artists. Unbeknowest to him that Most of the posters on that other site know us from the ESPN board & know better of us making him look like the fool.

    Anti-gay posts because some of us feel gays are by choice & others believe its from birth. NEWSFLASH! that's not being anti-gay, that's called having O P I N I O N S.

    So this nonsense is all because of one little over sensitive whiney little piss-pot felt attacked. And the other clown (puturballsinmymouth) Yes we chased him off because his made up SN alone was reason enough. Look its your board Denny but think about this, you referred to site as PUNY but did you ever wonder why that could be?

    And BTW: I did do my part on this board & brought over several posters to help make it better. How quickly we forget.

    OK Denny, your message is read loud and clear from this guy who has been called a Klansman for no reason. If my opinions are different than yours, maybe a forum business model is not for you since you only care about what you deem politically correct. Look at my post, the subject matter, I went on the other board defending this site. Rick, Hammer and 59 have just as much right to their opinion as you do. As far as trolls who breeze by to be controversial but don't stay on the site, and had no intentions of offering any further insight, good luck with them. Yet you say Rick and our topics are the reason this board hasn't multiplied. I'm a Celtic fan, why should I post on your board who has only Rick and myself and the hired help. I guess we drove people away from that site also. In closing, Rick had a lot to do with getting and help keeping guys who were the ESPN refugees on this site. In a world of what have you done for me lately, you come across "in my opinion" as pompous, however befitting your character (Denny), I must compliment you for consistency.

    For the record, the last rule should be amended to end "without notice.

    Official Site Rules for SportsTwo

    SportsTwo is intended to be a fun community. Keep this in mind, as all of our rules are geared toward making it this way.

    All posters with honorable intentions are welcome.
    This is a big site with a lot of members. You may not like every one of them. However, we expect everyone to at least respect each other.
    Respect the moderators, global moderators, producers, commissioners, admins, and other staff members of SportsTwo.
    Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another in good fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed.
    Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not.
    SportsTwo is to be a work-friendly and family-friendly site. While there is no blanket rule on how to enforce this, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce this rule and how to enforce it.
    Everyone is here to offer their opinions, so be prepared to have people disagree with your opinions. There is a difference between attacking someone's post (their opinion) and attacking the poster with the latter not allowed. The staff is here to monitor for such occurrences.
    Users who have multiple accounts will be publicly identified.
    We can't anticipate all of the things the staff may find unacceptable. Again, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce any unwritten policies they deem fit, and you are expected to abide by these judgments.
    The staff is here to be of service any way we can. If you have questions or need help with anything, feel free to PM a mod, GM, Producer, Commissioner, or an Admin.
    We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time.

    ...the number of off topic threads is due to the fact that there's no Baseball right now...derp.

    ...still waiting for you or someone else to point to these "anti-gay" threads.

    ...and exactly how big in "Arkansas"?

    ...also find it funny that though this is a Yankees forum, you have never posted anything relating to the Yanx or the sport...but anytime anything off topic or political is posted, you and your minions miraculously and almost immediately show up...why is that?





    ...I know how important your message board personna must be for you, but if you're waiting for any of us to genuflect, it ain't gonna happen.

    Frank & Ron, thank you both for doing what Denny doesn't find necessary, backing up a fellow board member. But don't get yourself booted off the site just because I felt the need to speak my mind. This is not a bad board & actually could have been better & probably would have been once the actual season would have begun as you mentioned Ron. It's a shame that OT subjects that get a little over heated from time to time could be the distruction of something that might have been very enjoyable, but like I said it's Denny's board & apparently its his way or the highway. And he's made it very clear that on this PUNY board as he calls it that I was nothing more then a malcontent who has no value to a site that I was enjoying very much until he felt it necessary to choose sides. And a choice that never should have been needed to make.

    If I'm booted, so be it. If not I'll be bouncing in from time to time & just maybe once the season actually starts & without any more bullshit this PUNY site will be a pleasant place to post. That is as long as it's not screwed up again by people who think having personal opinions are no longer an entitlement. Lets go Yankees.
