CBS, ESPN, Scout Boards, I'm tired of you all

You know the more i've came here as of recently the more my opinion of a lot of things have changed. I'm a college football fan,and an ohio state fan. I've had a few tiffs with a few people on here,but recently i've gained a lot of respect for fellow posters on here. I guess that's why i've posted more. I've moderated on two bodybuilding/fitness/powerlifting boards.One which is the biggest of it's type of the internet,and I actually quit going to the site,because it became so much about traffic,and less about quality. My opinion about it is that if you can't keep a place you frequent peaceful and welcoming then there is no longer a point in being there. I give it up to the people and mods that are here. It's nice to see people go to such extremes,when it's not all about making money. It's about discussing things that they enjoy and love.

Sounds like what you guys needed on that board of yours is a good bouncer...

When you have an open section discussing steroid use it's ignorant. When you have an open section discussing steroid use, that teens can access....I didn't own the board I only moderated at it. They choose what they wanted on it,and I have a right to disagree. Just can't do anything about it other then that. Cutting all corners to increase traffic invites the misinformed or uninformed to further get themselves into trouble. JMO

The scout boards are fun to read, especially in a game thread meltdown. Chiming in is a waste of time, though. Just enjoy the show.

The ESPN and sportsline boards are just kids marveling at their ability to post cuss words. Nothing to see there.

I just wish this board was easier to use. I get really lost at times and need PMs to find my way home.

I'm confused. Why is it easier to navigate right before your period?

This is just so difficult.

I'm trying to answer you, but I can't figure out how to post on this damn board until Aunt Flo comes to visit. :smash:

Nothing to add. PL's post just brought a smile to my face. The idea of allowing steroid discussion and how that is equated to cutting corners for some form of gain is just too subtle and ironic to ignore. Well done sir. And if the irony was unintended ... even better. :)
