See I always think 39 humor is MUCH funnier than that. Rated R and NC-17 at times, but there's far more variety to the comedy than that. Clean or dirty, it was always funnier before. Mother jokes, fat jokes, TV jokes, celebrity lookalike jokes--there was so much more.

Thing is, you DO bring baseball smarts to the table. That's another thing about older v. newer bleachers. 5 years ago, we talked about baseball too. Definitely post baseball stuff here.

I WANT you to post here. You would be a tremendous addition to the baseball board, in particular. But we have decided to leave the N word, the "oontz! oontz!" threads, and the random stupid sig pics out of nowhere behind.
This is simply a DISCUSSION board where people stuck at a desk all day can pass the time swapping their take on whats going on. Section39.com is still up, you can run rampant over there. But while you are here, just keep it reasonable.

Mac from section39 has found out about the board and is requesting information. Are you going to let him on?

So how is this for more baby stuff over on Section39. Apparently Frost cried to Baloo that the "Useless Opinions and Useless Facts threads should be locked" cause me and Balls started them, and are no longer there. And Baloo went and did it! But thats beyond the point. The fact that these guys are asking for old threads to be locked is just absurd.
And people wonder why people are not only coming over here, but leaving that board in droves. That about sums it up.

Frost also called for your Insane asylum section to be zapped.

Yes, it looks like Frost is in charge over there now. The world is turning upside-down!

Thats not happening. Baloo told me it stays as long as there is a board. If it does get "zapped" that wont happen until they give me time to move everything over here. This board will have more users/posts by that time anyway so it will be a better place for it.

There has been over 900 posts, and over 50 members in just 4 work days. It's off to an excellent start.

I would say that, considering Tom and Balls' objective, it's off to a pretty good start.

And if my math is correct, you account for nearly 21% of those posts. Jw

If you guys are not impressed, you can feel free to leave at any time.
And what Al said. We have not even started any kind of recruiting. All of the people you see on here followed us over from the other board, and a lot of them have stopped posting there.
And John, you jackoff, while you go on about how "umimpressive" things are here, and you too Suzy, how bout you tell us how GOOD things are over on the other board? I heard that thing is sputtering along worse than ever, and half the posts over there are STILL about me and Balls.

Hey, I'm not thrilled with the other board either. But there aren't many over there patting each other on the back for how good things are.
And yes, if this board becomes more of a MSB critic-free/ Catcus James show, the less you will see me logging and posting. Jw

So what? There are hundreds of posts NOT by me or Tom--in just a few days. 45 DIFFERENT people have posted here so far. Some never posted over there. Things are moving just fine here. It's not a question of better or worse. Just different. And hardly a bad start by any stretch.

Most message boards start off slow, just like any other venture. The name alone will still cause more people who frequent Yankee games (specifically the Bleachers) to go there than here. Just makes more sense. What average Yankee fan is going to go to a board called "The Heckle House" anyway?
Also, I've noticed that thus far a good chunk of the posts on this board are from people that really don't bring much to the table or, frankly, make inane posts. Does that bring more value than "oontz oontz oontz" and the like? Sure it does, but it doesn't mean those posts are really worth reading.
In response to Larry's post about 39 humor and Balls' rebuttal, well, Larry's right. The 39 mentality has changed. I don't know if he meant the humor so much as the attitude. Most of the stuff I am reading on here so far, frankly, bores me to tears. I don't like the extreme that 39.com has turned into necessarily, but this is a little too vanilla, everybody-pat-each-other-on-the-back, "feel-good" for me so far. Intelligent discussion is good, but it's not always entertaining. As I interpret it, that's what you want out of this board. As it stands now, it's not something I would be a part of on a daily basis, which I'm sure would please some and disappoint others. But that is as much for convenience, time, and comfort as anything else, as I am used to the other board and have learned to wade through the malarky, some of which I contribute.
But I also use that board to maintain contact with friends that I don't get to see very often. As it stands, most of those that I only stay in touch with on a message board are on that board.
I have noticed Baloo taking more interest in administering the other board, and that is a good thing, too. Because honestly, part of the problem was the administration of 39.com. And, for that matter, the moderation across the board was a problem. Too often the moderators on that board that are the current moderators of this board abused their powers and probably felt like they didn't have enough power. They have it here now, and that is a good thing for them. Time will tell if it is good for others.
I'll close by saying I am not poo-pooing this board in any way. This board will likely get bigger, if due to nothing else than Tom's vast network of MySpace friends and the like. I think that's a good thing, too, as a change of pace is always a nice thing.
But I also know that the best way to market the merits of a board is to let it stand on its own merit, and it's not to constantly bring up the supposed cancer that was on the other board which lead some of you over here.

Who is patting themselves on the back over here??
Can you show me? Cause I must have missed it. I think we achieved our goal of finding a place where we could pass some time without having to deal with the crap that goes on over on the other board. Sorry if we dont "impress" you, but that is not exaclty what our intentions were. I know from talking to a bunch of people both on and off of here that we did the right thing, and this is just the start. I mean, for fucks sake, in 4 days we have over 50 people logged in here, some people who have not posted on 39 for months posting again, and we have not even started passing the word around to other avenues, like we always did for the other board.
So stop with the snide remarks cause I am not in the mood.

Honestly, since you guys left the other board, who cares what goes on over there?
So far I feel like every other post I read is about how this is better and Tone and Frost fee. Big deal.
Just do your own thing and stop worrying about the other board so much. You have plenty of people, like myself and JW, who post on both boards and will continue to do so.
