- 3/17/19 UPDATE -- We've updated the permissions for our "Football" and "Commit to the G" recruiting message boards. We aim to be the best free board out there and that has not changed. We do now ask that all of you good people register as a member of our forum in order to see the sugar that is falling from our skies, so to speak.

Have any fans from this forum actually tweeted at recruits? Cause that is definitely not ok. In fact it's certifiably creepy and sad. I hope that stuff is not coming from anyone in here.
I'll admit everytime we're after a pretty decent croot, I'll tweet them "We'd love to have ya in Athens. #GoDawgs #DoMore". But that's it....and it's always when they've posted that they've gotten an offer from UGA or when they've listed us in their top schools.
Glad you posted that @Bulldawg1982. I painted with too broad of a brush. I'm not a tweeter but I imagine generic stuff like that is totally cool.
Thanks OP, I love stats. Count me among the 75% of Americans who don't have a Twitter account, I never open the site.
@FirePlugDawg it is Pretty simple. Don’t read off topics threads. The filter is available. Your problem if you don’t want to use it
Not a solution. Why should I be denied the wisdom of my colleagues at the expense of some yahoo who needs THIS site to make a political comment?
That’s like saying you can’t watch ESPN because a 24 hr news channel is on your cable plan. This complaining about such a modest and irregular amount of political debate makes me want to innumdate the place just so the crybabies are more unjustifiably miserable. No empathy for you or your “colleagues” who seek a fascist form of free speech on the forum.
Didn't take long. Listen @Teddy is not saying incidental. He said someone could start a political topic as long as it is in the Off Topic category. That means, a purposeful, full blooded, political OP. NO. THANK. YOU.
Oh. How is NOT discussing politics fascist? (That is rhetorical as I do not care how you arrived at that notion.)
You are way off topic discussing the availability of political discussion in my thread about twitter demographics. Go start your own anti-political discussion in the off topic section, sir.
34% of Americans 5'8'' or taller use Twitter between the hours of 8am and 6pm. Of those 53% are liars, 9% greatly exaggerate.
I was responding to @Teddy on April 15 who I think was commenting on a few colleagues who had commented on April 12. You actually called to task @Kasey on April 12 (and somehow got his comment removed - your quoting him survives), then said later that you were joking.. Its ^^ up there. What is good for the goose.....
Catch up on your vitamins, man. This is neither a political thread nor an anti-political thread. Just because someone else breaks protocol first does not mean the rules are suspended for subsequent posters. If you desire to respond to the junior moderator, @Teddy then send him a pm.
It occurs to me that this would be a great time for one of the mods, such as @ghostofuga1 to issue a stern warning to @FirePlugDawg to stay on topic, with assurances that you REALLY mean it - or else!
Or we can just put users in time-out. In your opinion, do you think that would help?
There is the issue of fairness/fair play. I didn't bring up the subject. I was saying that I hope @Teddy (Apr 12) is wrong and that (implied) I would like @JeffSentell to take a stand on the matter. All the rest is you making more of it than is necessary. I I am punished for that then there is an injustice being done.
@FirePlugDawg I think the only "punishment" here is for those of us that HAVE to read this thread. Big yawner IMO.....
