So you are saying it's best to be like this?

 

[LuckyShot]

I've been there for 2+ years and I'm still a rookie in the eyes of The @HCP

You guys are in for a long ride

But it's worth it. I switched to this forum in 2012-ish and it improved my quality of life, however small. I don't know how I survived with Oregonlive as my main outlet for Blazers discussion. Oregonlive gave me a headache. Now I can vent in game threads instead of screaming at my dog during games (apologies to your kind, Sly) or trying to explain basketball to my wife. I'd participate more in other threads but literally every time I go to say something I find someone here has already said it, because the discussions move faster than I can keep up most of the time, and there are some pretty sharp people here. This place has a lot more good basketball discussion than I found on O-Live. And a lot of random silly shit to keep me entertained when just observing from the sidelines.

Nice!

@SlyPokerDog I really think I should have consulted before all these new people showed up. On one hand, I’m upset because of them migrating here, but on the other hand I guess the rumors of people not joining here because of me seem untrue. Almost as if they were made up huh? #ValidationFAMS

This was all just a dream, or your nightmare

 

[BonesJones]

@SlyPokerDog or anyone can you drop a mini-tutorial for my friend Hoopguru? Once you get it down, HG, it's pretty easy. I will say paying attention to alerts is important.

Also, you can customize alerts to show only when someone has interacted with your post (Liked, Quoted, Tagged, etc.). I've done this so my alert box doesn't get coded with simple "Replies" in a thread I've posted on.

Also: Easiest way to reply is hitting reply and it automatically quotes the post in your comment box. I was hitting "Quote Post" and then "Insert All Quotes" for years before I found out this obvious "trick".

Yeah i select my alerts to what concerns me. But i also miss some things that get posted. Then i post something that has been posted already. Happens i guess.

Or we corrected you and you're bearable now! I haven't seen even one hazing post! We changed you. Now it's just continual references to stuff so long ago, that I barely remember it happened! @Orion Bailey look what we've done

Pst... I run this forum now. Times have changed old man!

The best insight, the best drama, the best memes, the best emojis, the best freedom of speech, and especially the best perks!

Speaking of perks, no forum game this year? I was rally looking forward to it. @SlyPokerDog ?

 

[Strenuus]

Yeah whats fucking ruder is you never responding.

Bruh... We went to the damn game... Club seats. Am i thst forgettable?

I've been working on it. This continuous staff shakeup is not making it easy.

All we gotta do is come up with the cost for the suite. You spread that over 20-30 people it's affordable.

Thank you for your continouous work!

The tough part is when people flake, though... Thus raising the cost if replacements arent found.

Yeah. That would be tough. Flakes make every job tougher.

Might just be easier to get a bunch of 300 level tickets and see who shows up?

I figured! I was just wondering, I had a lotta fun last year.

Did you guys go again last year? I know i went two years ago.

Beating OKC with dame time in a suite was one of the highlights of my blazer fandom. So freaking fun.

 

[THE HCP]

Your legend precedes you, HCP, truly. We stayed away as long as we could, but now we are adrift and have no choice but to come ashore. Apologies.

See, this guy gets it. I don’t normally reply to rooks like yourself, but you seem to have some common sense. Don’t prove me wrong.

He makes 20 bucks an hour keeping you occupied here...don't know why...just rumors

Homie I havent’ changed my posting style one bit since the day we came over here. You and your partner Orion have just lightened up. You realized you weren’t going to compete with me and my followers had my back. Try again next summer son. Like I tried to tell you before, you weren’t the first to come at me and won’t be the last. I get paid to post here for a reason.

Things I didn't want to know

Yeah you have. You've changed for the olive refugees. Your shtick is still the same, but you're more eloquent, less street. You've been gentrified.

You know you've got the HCP scrambled when he's taking your own posts more seriously than you! And making up BS at the same time?!

HCP is dead! How's it going, John?
