So what happened to our game threads?

[riverman]

You said school, obviously. So to repeat, have these people 1) posted here and then stopped or reduced their posts (what the thread is about), 2) just read game threads and not posted, or 3) have not read this board and you're just talking about what your society friends might say if they did?

jlprk..it's ok man, I don't give people these questionaires normally or keep notes. They are folks who know I love basketball and talk about it, probably all the above, I don't know. But it doesn't matter...semantics. Maybe I'm using a poor example to make my point but like I said, I have heard complaints about this site for the reason I stated. It is what it is...next topic?

 

[jlprk]

Okay, so it's not "a couple hundred Oregonians everyday" who complain to you about this site. It's your mother-in-law, twice, so you added an "s" at the end of "complaints." But she was drunk and meant Fox News. Okay, no problem.

She was only my mother in law once but she goes to every game you know?

 

[PapaG]

nah, just an Oregonian who talks to a couple hundred Oregonians everyday due to the nature of my work and coaches hoops at a small school. I just see some alienation particularly on the Game Thread post...other posts are not such a problem but under the game site the game thread is available to any fan..I'd clean it up if it were my choice but..as you know, it's not
One might venture to say that young fans are the ones who are abandoned by libertine language if that's the descriptor.

Wait, so you have instant focus groups with "hundreds" of Trailblazer fans in the immediate aftermath of a game thread? How does that work?

I'm divorced. I don't know anything about sex or dirty words.

It's exhausting..

Haha! Repped!

I thought being married was what killed ones sex life?

Serious answer, we have the same number of people for the most part posting in game threads. What is different is the team is winning. Less complaints about players and coach during the game. Less arguments between people over those complaints during the game thread. Less complaints, fewer arguments means fewer posts per person during the game thread. When the Blazers are winning we mods don't have to edit posts in the game thread. When they lose people get pissed and unfortunately we have to edit or delete posts.

Umm we were winning at the beginning of the season when the threads were 40+ pages long.

 

[jlprk]

Well that explains it then. We're losing now, so the game thread is shorter.

LMAO! I doubt they are finding their way to the O-live forum.

Mediocre_Man and RoyToy are both gone. At least we still have NB3, though!

Mediocre Man isn't gone, he's still sending me PM's telling me how horribly I moderate this forum.

And RoyToy posted tonight.

IMO, this forum has the best group of moderators.

 

[oldmangrouch]

It's a lot harder to get excited when the players act like they don't give 2 shits.

OTOH our Mods always give a shit.....they just tend to do it on the lawn!

Well to be fair the schedule has been brutal.

Agreed.

Oh...were you refering to the Mods? I don't think Denny works them THAT hard! They could go find a bush or something.

 

[KingSpeed]

So we lost. Badly. And it's the worst turnout for a game thread all season. This forum has lost all interest win or lose. Bring back MIXUM!

haha! Good intentions; wrong target.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I've never seen an episode of Bones before. There is one starting and Kingspeed is in it.

keep reaching for that rainbow!

Terry has been murdered. I have no idea who Terry is. Jack seems to be upset about it.

Also Ernie Hudson is it. I think that's the twinkie guy from Ghostbusters.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wait, Bones is a chick?

 

[ehizzy3]

I think the grind of the season gets to fans too. There's so many games. At the beginning of the season we were all excited about how good we are. Now everyone is waiting for the playoffs.

I thought about not going to my night class for math that started at 7 to listen to the game... glad I didn't.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Kingspeed just found a fungus and this woman just called him Bone Boy, is he Bones' son?
