All those people complaining clearly dont get the point of these boards!
Also the double standards from some of those people is quite humorous!
All the things that have been noted as being "negative" are the sole purpose of these boards creation.
Dont forget the main reason Rob created these boards was to get all the trouble makers away from DC, so is it any wonder most of us are arseholes.
What one person says is a worn out joke, another person says is tradition. What one person says is annoying, another person says is tradition. What one person says is gay, another person says is rex! The minute you start spouting off about whats bad about these boards, thats when you automatically become a target of some of the biggest internet arseholes you have ever witnessed.
I'll let you all into a secret, one of the reasons the sports forum is rarely attacked is because I prefer not to moderate it in the same method as the media or deep thoughts forum, meaning you can pretty much do what you want in there. That basically means a lot of good topics dont get swamped by spam, and if at any time they do, I just go with the flow & let it slide as thats what these boards are about! Of course I cant speak for the other sports mod, but as far as I am concerned, the forum is not above the usual hijinks of other forums.
If you wanna be serious, join a serious message board!
