not being your usual douchebag self That's like asking a retard not to be retarded. I think I've contributed at least 10 times more effort and time into this site than both of you kids combined. Saying I don't care or that I'm not taking this 'crisis' seriously is ridiculous. Comments like these confuse me more than anything.. especially coming from such inactive members. |

not posting doesnt mean im inactive if anything by not posting i can see things clearer and changes are being/will be made about 2 seasons to late Same here....I don't post often but i check in and read and see various things of interest to me 3-4 times a week or more. Time is a factor for me with the recent major changes in my life and like Manery said earlier, there's that burnout factor as well. I've just sat here and read the exchange between Arkansas, Falcon and Maxi and this is another reason people leave. I understand that the majority of the people in the league are teenagers with raging hormones and attitudes to match and they feel the need to bash and "hate" on others but just being a dickhead for the sake of being a dickhead is tiring for those of us who enjoy having a good time with this and wanted something fun to do in our spare time. I could go on and on calling people out for this kind of crap but it's pointless. This alone is my biggest bone of contention with the league. We all know who does this kind of stuff and putting an end that alone would help in keeping us "old timers" around and active. I personally don't want to read that kind of crap so I don't and see no need to respond to it and with it being so rampant, I just don't post at all. As for downsizing, I'm fine with that. Back it down to 4 teams, weed out the truly inactives, keeping in mind there are people like me who read and nothing more. Take a bit of a break but not so long that actives lose interest and disappear. If we keep the redshirt idea, give them something to do to help out and build their players up while the wait to start. Let them keep stats so they feel as if they are a contributing part of the league. Check the log in info for people. If they haven't logged in a specific time frame, delete thier accts or their players. That clears up space for the rookies to get in the games and be a part of their teams and keeps their interest. Implement a zero tollerance policy for the bashing and name calling garbage I mentioned before. A three strikes, you're out deal. This is supposed to be a fun way to pass the time and talk with people who share your love of the game of football. Not a place to come show how big an asshole you are. I have no suggestions to help with the simming aspect other than find someone who can do it as consistantly as Byron has done in the past. If I think of anything else to contribute to this, I'll post again. Right now, I want to thank Byron for taking the time out of his life to run this league and for doing it as well as he has. He's done a fantastic job with this and deserves a lot of credit for doing such a great job. So with that said,  :)THANK YOU!!!!!!!!  |

Comments like these confuse me more than anything.. especially coming from such inactive members. Come on- just because you contribute a lot doesn't give you the right to be condescending or to belittle other people's remarks or ideas. You've consistently been rude to me, and interpret most of my comments as having it out for you (when often they aren't meant that way in the least bit). I made some genuine suggestions only for the response to be a joke or a stab at their merit. Maybe I took it too personally... but if you *say* you're out for the good of the league, you wouldn't trash some of my suggestions (tongue-in-cheek, or not). Regardless-- I think the bottom line is that you just have to accept that I like the Pac-10, don't like the SEC, and move on because that flame war was years ago bud. |

1) Razorbacks blow this year. When I can admit it, it's true. However, I think Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, and Georgia make the SEC stronger than the Pac-10.
2) My comment was innocent and playful. It wasn't an attack on you or your motives.
3) I'm really confused about Wicker's post. I thought we were exchanging ideas... but I guess it's all perception.
4) I <3 Maxi

However, I think Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, and Georgia make the SEC stronger than the Pac-10. 3) I'm really confused about Wicker's post. I thought we were exchanging ideas... but I guess it's all perception. Ok let me clarify and touch on this... regarding #1....Yes, the Razorbacks suck this year. I say that as an Ole Miss fan but still would like to see them do well each week with one obvious exception. This I say as an Arkansas resident. #3.... Don't be confused about it. I was commenting on the douchebag/retard stuff. While not nearly as harsh as some thing's I've seen, I took issue with it but that was likely due to my foul mood to begin with which was totally unrelated to FSJ. Reading it again today, in a better frame of mind, it wasn't as harsh. This still doesn't change the main gist of what I was pointing out about the bashing and name calling crap that has gone on in the past. I just picked an example that wasn't as good as I had originally thought. We've all seen it and most have bitched about it at some point. It makes this whole thing a lot less fun when that kind of crap is going on. I think we can all agree on that. It was not pointed out to implicate the 3 of you at all. It was merely an example and a poor one at that. as for this comment... Regardless-- I think the bottom line is that you just have to accept that I like the Pac-10, don't like the SEC, and move on because that flame war was years ago bud. I would never bash the PAC-10 or any other conference. They each have great teams, not so great teams and crappy teams. The SEC is no different and neither is the PAC-10. It does make me giddy as a schoolgirl when they go head to head and the SEC comes out on top but hey...I'm from Mississippi and live now in Arkansas. What else would you expect. I will admit tho. It tickled the shit out of me when Oregon St upset USC. Nothing personal. It was a great game and USC just got out coached and outplayed that night. It happens. |
