Announcement: Changes to the message board
Posted: MikeD @ Wed Sep 12, 2007 12:47 am
As you may have noticed... I've made some changes to our beloved message board. The most noticeable change is the addition of a new section for league discussion by other teams, and whoever else wants to register. That section is open to all.

The Beers portion of the message board is still very private. You must be logged in to see it. This is so that we don't have every moron from the league spamming us with their retardicity (thanks Andrew Pobuda). It is also so that we can continue our free and open discussions such as why we should recruit various animals to play.

If you've ever seen the league's guestbook then you may have noticed 2 things. 1. That it's definitely not the best way to discuss league issues since it was designed to leave 1 time messages without replies. And 2, that most of the people on there post some pretty stupid stuff and don't have any accountability for it since they can post anonymously.

I thought that adding this section would help both those problems. Yes, we would be bringing some of the sub par, loud-mouthed members of the league into closer proximity with us, BUT, I think it will also be a more appropriate setting and venue for intelligent conversation as well (such as the type we're used to seeing on here).

If you have not registered yet, feel free to. This board is run by me and me alone so don't worry about giving your email address. I require registration because otherwise we get spam about paris hilton and whatnot.

So what do you think? Was this a big mistake? Or should we have some faith in the other members of the league to not make this place a big pile of proverbial crap?
