2009, I hate to be a broken record but that was the year. Judging by the neg rep and other factors that was when it started to get real nasty around here.

the problem is there is no solution

who decides those to purge and those to remain? what criteria? why bother when it'll be right back to mayhem in a matter of months, if not weeks?

I've also been around since the dawn of time, i'm just not near the activity level of most others

I long since accepted filtering thru the muck to get anything of value here. I've also quietly abandoned this place many times, only to return come training camp or draft season, cause this still remains the #1 site for collective information, even if 50% of it (being quite generous) is complete trollish crap.

anyway, i'm w/ ya BD, but agree the named callout was not a point in your favor for the cause

Black Bob is another prime example.

You're right.

Those that were here between 2000-2005 NEVER talk about those years, and there certainly isn't an archive you can go back and read.

This is true.

That happens when half your board is 35+...

BINGO.

Okay I'll start.

You are not one who sucks the penis.

It absolutely was. The football threads were as bad as the bullshit you'd read in DC. And some of them still are.

One thing that hasn't changed since I've been here is the constant call for more moderation (but usually only on the other guys). There are plenty of places you can get that, so if that's what you really want, why not find a new place?

I really don't understand what they get out of this relationship...

And you are not teh m0r0n.

Wow, this feels good guys.

Once again, Zach is full of shit. The only person who ever gave n00bs shit just because they were n00bs was Skip, and he's been gone for 4 ****ing years now.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. We're getting old and grouchy?

If you didn't have your metamucil you'd be grouchy too!

Since you mischaracterized it, I assume you haven't bothered to read them.
