ultimately the engagement on this board fell off a cliff once @SoFL_Dawg took his ball somewhere else. That’s the main driver.
I’m sure I’ve alienated some here but there are literally hundreds of participants he took with him that no longer post here.
That's a "them" problem, not a you problem.
I remember SoFL leaving, don't remember the details, but that was so long ago now. We had a pretty lively board after that as well.
I can think of a couple of threads that would make the board lively again. In no no particular order:
Those are just a few that would create a little buzz
Good **** sir, get some soul on that piano! 🙏
So long as you keep it at yelling. I threw the remote through the screen back in '81 or '82. It made me feel better but it pi$$ed off my ex-wife.
A little late to this thread, but let me state; @donniem Don, I hate to here about your "episode" , but very glad that it was not worse and you're still hear and able to be with us. Glad things are working well with your recovery and hopefully you'll be back to 100% soon. Godspeed my friend!
@Bum , the SoFl debacle was blamed, by him, on me. He left saying I wasn't doing enough to "moderate" his skeptics, which he had a few. What I knew about and from what he mentioned to me through PM's, was that he was in the medical field to some nature. He knew and had a close contact with someone on the UGA medical/trainer staff that would give him insider "tips" about things going on within the program that most people didn't have privy to. He would come here and post these "tips" predictions etc. and became very popular doing so.
When some of these tips and predictions didn't happen, he had some skeptics here question him on them and take him to the task of how he knew, or didn't know what was going on. He didn't like any skeptics and asked me why I didn't moderate them (delete their post or ban them). I told him that I didn't moderate based skepticism alone. He took his ball and went to another playground. Didn't bother me at all.
Plus, I pretty sure he and a few others had already planned starting their own website. It was up and running within a few days of his departure. Blaming me was just an excuse to get their site going and sway members here to there.
No biggie.
Elon has nothing on you when it comes to digging up the proof, Brother! 👍️
The 3 mods that are left, have 6-7 years worth of "receipts"….😜
Interesting synopsis, thanks for that. It all makes more sense now.
I’m still bored… Fairly good Bobo thread on here recently, but not much else. Just can’t get into CBB yet. Long ago gave up on NBA. Not into women’s sports, though I wish them well. Enjoyed the Philly Dawgs, but that was only for a few Saturdays. I think it’s old, but just discovered “Ed Bassmaster” on YouTube. Pretty funny. Check out his “Always ****” & “Mumbles” characters if you get as bored as I am.
@donniem I hope you’re continuing to improve.
Thanks, Max. I am improving. Just finished a 90' violin lesson and stood the whole while. Doing my rehab exercises 2-3 x a day - about 30' each time. Walking is up to30' and 3-4 x a week. Also do some indoor rowing on non-walk days. Have set a goal to get more fit than my pre-**** level. I have a 3 mile/60' walk with a neighbor - my biggest test so far - scheduled for Saturday.
I'm a bit impatient but folks around town keep reminding me it's a long, gradual process. I'll keep at it.
That's impressive, friend. I hope your spirits are also improving as you see physical progress.
Try a little Dawg Baseball. Real good team. Awesome pitching this year. Should be one of the best teams we have seen in a long while.
I am going to keep up with Ole Miss Baseball also. Friend of mine son is in their starting rotation.
