This thread. Jesus. Comedy gold mine. Troy as the voice of reason?! Somebody calling the planet a homer board?!?
It's not just nostalgia. Yes, noobs sometimes had it rough, yes, we had our trolls (hey packfan) and, yes, there were some personal issues (like me and john proctor; and basically everybody and denise). But this place now is like a Jim Rome board, with half of everybody trying to out-insult everybody else and then drop the mic as they exit stage left. I GOT YOU HAR HAR HAR!! There's not much discussion anymore, it's mostly just poster group a ranting against poster group b, for days, weeks, months and years on end, and most everybody seems completely close-minded on every subject. Personally, I think it's just a microcosm of the changes over the last decade to the larger society/world we live in, rather than some specific change here. The more that social media grows, the worse that social skills become (yes, I know that's ironic coming from me). Although I do think a few specific things have impacted the community here, including the fact that fewer of us know each other now in a physical sense, and that anonymity breeds a general disrespect. But the reality in the end is that we live in a different world than we had in 2001. So yes, the board has changed. And it's not going back. If you're not happy with what it is, then find a constructive way to change it. And by "constructive" I don't just mean "purge all the people you don't like". That's what ignore is for. I mean "be a better poster" (in a general sense, not pointing out anybody in particular). All the stuff you don't like...stop doing it yourself. That's really the only way the board gets any better. Stop feeding the trolls, stop being trolls, treat people with the respect you want (if you even want any). Basically, don't let the bastards get you down. |

When "old timers" who aren't here much gripe about how much things have changed, I suspect that it's mostly caused by less awareness of who is who anymore. Online forums are definitely one of those things where frequent visitors feel more involved than those who just drop by from time to time. |

There is no definitive right or wrong, but I do not believe Sanchez was ever good because of his QB rating in 09 and 10 (stat/fact). Saying people were wrong or right in that specific time frame is silly. It's always going to be subjective. Each side had a fine argument that was presented. QB play (rating) vs. wins.

The problem is that way too many people think they're good at it (when they aren't) and believe it's the way to be perceived as "cool" on here by your "friends." They should realize that the way to appear "cool" on here is to claim that you're the relative of a player on the Chiefs.
