That's the problem; we don't know YOU. You came here and started posting about your podcast. As far as I'm concerned, you're here to talk about your podcast. Cool. Whatever. I'm going to do us both a favor and ignore you until you have 2000 posts. Then we'll know you're here to talk Blazers on a Blazers forum, and not orient your entire existence here around content for your podcast. Now I know why HCP hazed n00bs so hard.
YOU don't know me. There's plenty of people that do and I hope I get to meet all kinds of new people in the process- and by all means it's your prerogative to ignore me until the cows come home, it does me no harm or foul. Announcing your intentions on a message board on a post where an individual was asking me about my background seems like a weird place to do it, but okay, I'll roll with it. Clearly you take issue with me for some reason, of which I have no clue, but first of all- my first couple of posts here weren't about the podcast. That literally just came up 2 weeks ago- the guys Andy/Taylor mentioned I should ask around here b/c I wasn't a member of this community. Secondly, who are you to question anyone or their motives? Have I wronged you? Do I need to pass some level of Blazer fandom to be an active participant here? How about this- here's a link to my profile creation on BlazersEdge- http://www.sbnation.com/users/Dan%20Marang?_ga=1.59974251.754988079.1447827003 Have I earned enough points to be a part of the club? I'm not doing a thing here other than trying to offer a different take, another perspective to share with people- if you want to pretend in your mind that I've got ulterior motives, go ahead throw the tinfoil hat on an ENJOOOOOOY it. The only thing I'm doing here- is the same thing I've been doing for the past 8 years on other sites and that's spending my time analyzing and writing about a team I've grown up a fan of... but hey- you do you.
Just want to make sure to clarify myself here too; my initial response in this thread was not intended to imply that you're insincere in your intentions or that you're monetizing your podcast. I was simply saying that your interactions with this board and your newly minted podcast are interconnected. I personally not only have no problem with cross-platform integration; I welcome and even initiate it.
No worries- I didn't take it as such. If at anytime the podcast or any of my content ever turned into a profit model- that content would cease to be on here until I discussed it with the appropriate people. #1 I've been in e-commerce for the majority of my adult/civilian life- I know the rules. #2 It would be a serious shot of dishonesty to continue to push a product without the proper checks and balances in place. #3 I love doing this stuff. Always have. I came home on leave Roy's rookie year and put together a quick video for a contest they had going- it ended up winning and it became Roy's official ROY video. I've been doing stuff like that ever since- particularly when it comes to analytics b/c there's a bit of a hole there as far as Blazers coverage is concerned. But I do appreciate the support- thank you.
HCP went all postal on me when i got here. I don't start threads any more really. The one i started last week was the first in a year or so.
Might want to get rid of that "Potential Upside EP- Meyers Leonard" Thing.... Meyers doesn't really have much upside around here.
You and me both...when I joined I didn't know the secret password or the handshake...still don't! I just bought off Sly with some doggy treats and it was all good
That finger reminds me of Whoopi Goldberg in the Color Purple at the end when she pointed hers at Danny Glover...the crooked talon from hell
