    Actually this is probably a really good idea to help with national exposure. Every road game the Blazers should have a small section set up somewhere where the local fans can sign up to some sort of fan club that should be created ( If it isn't already). Id be curious as to how many people from each city sign up and if we able to compound on the numbers with each future visit. Every road game the camera tries to find the fans in the crowd... let them come find us! From there all sorts of things can be done and it would truly be the start of a Blazer Nation!

    After the most sucky off-season in NBA history, the front office needs to do something to improve fan morale.

    A basketball game with all of the players blindfolded, S2 rappers vs. Blazer Dancers, first team to 100 loses, would be a good start.

    Ask them when all Blazers employees will be paid a living wage.

    Yeah, just an idea if we get a big shot in front of the Staples Center of as many Blazer fans we can round up before a Clippers game or something if they can post that on their Facebook page. Would be pretty cool.

    I keep telling you, no matter how you post on here, you're not an employee and they're not going to pay you.

    So far I have yet to really see the benefit of being the official forum of the blazers.

    Uh we get Casey Holdahl and Koivisto to interact a bit with the forum. Cross posting from the Blazers social media. What do you want, a cookie?

    That'd be cool. Have a few people appointed as reporters. Send a couple to games and a couple to practices. Have people post questions in a thread and pick the best ones (maybe on how many likes the question recieves).

    Yeah, Koivisto sent the Blazers Fans LA a bunch of swag for our game watching parties. Signs, those blow up sticks, etc.

    I dunno why you crackaz don't have some game watching parties in Portland, probably easy to set up and free swag, get pics on the Blazers website, etc. Just announce most of that shit through the RipCityTwo facebook page, shit we even have our own shirts made.
