Game Thread Sweet, Sweet, Sweet

Starting multiple threads is perfectly fine. I have no problem with it.

I've been hazed before. However, now I consider myself a little old to be hazed. Not too old to learn, though.

Well I personally think hazing should be left in jr high, but...I'm in the minority around here.

Never too old to learn though. Stop learning, stop living.

Dammit T! Im tryin to assert some AUTHORITAIE!!!!

Something this place has been lacking of late.

Actually, I don't think starting a thread when you are excited about the way the team is playing is a problem at all.

I think the confusion comes from tagging it as a Game Thread. We traditionally have one Game Thread per game (and on the rare occasion where HCP tries to start a bogus one, it gets merged with the real Game Thread). We also often have a post game Dance Party thread to celebrate after a big win, but it's not labeled as a Game Thread.

So, I don't think @Lanny starting this thread was a problem. I just think tagging it as a Game Thread may have caused some confusion among some of the regulars who are accustomed to seeing one official Game Thread per game. Not really a big deal, just FYI.

Hell he could tag 10 threads as game threads and I wouldn't care.

Are you trying to start a mutiny? Respect my authoritaie!!!

Unfortunately (for you), your "vote" is but one of many...

I personally don't care one way or the other, I just don't want to see @Lanny discouraged from posting because of a little bit of controversy about creating this thread. It's nice to see him here. He's obviously a real, long time Blazers fan and I welcome his contributions.

Exactly why I brought it up. Some here cans be much harsher. Tried to get it over with easier, gentler and quicker.
I personally don't care one way or the other either. IF this is controversy, id love to hear the definition of some of the past mentions to other new people around here and what that was, lol.

Actually I run this place. My vote is the only one that counts.

I didn't know. I'm still a little unclear about it.

Hey Lanny! As a fellow O-Liver let me try and clear this up for you.

This isn't like the O-Live forum where you just open the page and start talking in a new spot. Doing so on O-Live is fine but here it starts a new thread every time you post. The less amount of posts about the same subject the more organized the board is and then there isn't two or three conversations about the same exact subject. While it is a little more difficult to just come in and start talking I kind of agree with those that want to keep the clutter to a minimum. So I think what Orion (and HCP if he wasn't AWOL after the Thunder game) is saying is if you want to make a post like this why not just click on the game thread for the Thunder game and post the exact same message in there along with all the rest of us who were going crazy after the big win. I look at it this way: We were all having a big party and celebrating and your post was the equivalent of starting a new party across the street instead of just joining ours, if that makes sense. However, if the Blazers win I just want to party so I don't really care who's house it's at or how many there are.

That being said, I know you are an OG Blazer fan and can do whatever you want. Knowing you are still around is awesome, especially after some bad scares throughout the years. I hope you don't take this post the wrong way, you just seemed a little confused so I thought it might make sense coming from someone who has been chatting about our Blazers with you for almost two decades.

Well said.

And for the record I never try to discourage people from posting, I was actually mocking another poster who gives members a hard time when they do something he doesn't agree with.
Consider all of my posts as a grain of salt mixed in with some green font.

(and HCP if he wasn't AWOL after the Thunder game)

Liked, in general, but especially for this!

BTW, where the heck is @HCP. He has been conspicuously quiet since his boy Russ didn't get his triple double last night and got his ass handed to him at home by HCP's predicted 40-win Blazers.

Seriously though, where is that big guy? Should we be worried about him or is he just laying on the floor in the fetal position crying like a big baby because he realized how bad Westbrook sucks yesterday?

Why are you trying to awaken the sleeping dragon??????

Man, some things need let left be. He shall rise in due time, rest assured... let him rise at his own pace.

C'mon, I didn't actually use his name in that post or @ him.

After the game yesterday, I was trying to figure out what Russ would be more pissed off about: losing, or not getting a triple double. I honestly think it was the triple double, especially since his 8 rebounds yesterday pretty much guarantees he won't average a triple double for the season (he'd need to average more than 13 rpg over the last 7 games to make it).
