Hey, Suzy, whats your problem? Sounds to me like the party poopers on here have you on a leash. I DARE YOU - find where anyone said ANYTHING about this being "the next best thing."
This board was started for people to have conversation without the obscenities, graphic pics, "oontz oontz" posts, the N word, the ffffkkkehhddddeeeeee posts, and all that other crap. I made that CLEAR.
We hardly even advertised the board. I sent a link to 11 people from my Yahoo email list. 11! 3 days later I posted a bulletin in the group on MySpace that no one will even see. I left Section39.com with a message to EMAIL ME if people wanted to know what was up. Who the Hell are these people saying this is the "next best thing?"
You of all people I would never have pegged as someone who would come on here with whatever your agenda is. If you dont like us here, feel free to skip. It will make me sad, you were one of the 11 I sent the email to. But for you to come on here with this malarky is absurd.

Let me address a few things from what I understand is going on on the other board.
One, people are decrying the lack of "free speech" over here. For the record, ONE post has been deleted off of this board. It was from Gooner, and it was a pic making fun of Metssuckballs. If you think that was going to stay after reading my mission statement to kick off this thread, you're delusional.
ZERO posts have been edited, or deleted. NOT ONE. So someone please guide me towards this ban on free speech. What I have said was that anyone not happy here can leave. What we are trying to do here is offer an option to those who are looking for a "work-friendly" and angst-free place to post.
As for this thinking of my propensity to axe and slash on the old board, the only times I ended up having to delete posts it was from the same two or three people. Coincidentally enough, those are the people not welcome here. Sensing a pattern? I love how the people on here speaking up for those oppressed were never censored by me on the old board. I also love how one of them, Justin, rips me for doing it, yet agrees that Tone's posts are asinine.
Everyone who has applied to come on here to this point was accepted. Thats over SIXTY people. So for everyone who thinks we are cherrypicking a board of ass-kissers and people we can coddle, you're wrong. Yes, there are a handful of people who are not welcome, but thats our perogative. They were noted offenders on the last board, and are still the source of a lot of angst. Again, if it offends anyone that we are keeping 3 or 4 people from coming over here, they can leave in protest, or start a board of their own and invite them over.
And in a few days, with the exception of some scuffling involving Mac, Cactus James, and Laura that lasted a couple of posts, there have been no outbreaks or bullying on here NOT INVOLVING THE OTHER BOARD. I am willing to let that board go, but I am tired of people telling me all the damn day they are STILL posting about us over there. And you know I cant sit still when I am under attack.
And it saddens me that some of you people posting on here acting all jolly are over there making fun of what is going on over here or looking for us to fail. Others who encouraged me to do this are putting the badmouth on us as well now that we did it.
Some people are just two-faced.

For the record, I create my own opinions and, really, it doesn't matter what anyone here says or doesn't say.
Big Al, clearly as one of the 11 that was emailed, I guess I wasn't meant to stay away.
I'm not fighting with anyone here, and at this point I'll agree to disagree.

Tom,
I know I have only met you once but there have been many instances of you guys talking about Tone, Frost, Phil, Mac (before he was on here), etc. It seems like some people may be too concerned with who is not here & what not then on focusing on what we have here which so far is a less drama filled board. I think that if everyone just stopped talking about what this board isnt or who isnt here & focused on what this board is & who is here that things would be a lot better.
John

Fair enough. I am all for it stopping, and this board just moving on as what it is, an alternative of other sorts to the other board. I made my points. That said, I wish Baloo would steer the focus off of us on the other board, its been nearly a week already. Without me there to defend myself, you can imagine I am frustrated and I am sorry I am lashing out over here.
Suzy, its all good. See you in the other threads.

Yeah, this board sucks. And what, pray tell, is exactly wrong with it? And what makes it worse than what is going on over at the other, much less crowded board? People just like hating sometimes. And for the last time, we are NOT LOOKING TO IMPRESS ANYONE. You dont like it here, leave. We are not even a week in.

It sucks because it is an unecessary and somewhat boring offspring of Section39.com.
Mere management changes at Section39.com could fix the issues that were at hand.
No need for a tantrum-esque spinoff.

Look, we are not going to go into this again. And this has nothing to do with a tantrum. Remember, I personally already left that board for a good 8 months. And since I came back it had the same problems that caused me to leave in the first place. I wanted a board to post on that did not have the drama that one did. And now we are on the way to having that. I talked to Baloo repeatedly about those very changes and nothing was done to curb the animal behavior. The board, at the least, was not "work-friendly." Also, you and others need to know - I WAS A MODERATOR FROM THE DAY BALOO AND CAPONE STARTED THE FIRST BOARD. I was never NOT a moderator. Some people have history wrong and seem to think I came along as a moderator later on...not true.
Also, this is not a competing "bleacher board." Where in the name of the board, the focus of the board, or anything else about the board do you see this being pushed as a bleacher entity. Along with Balls I have other plans for this board, and quite frankly the contacts and the network to make it work.
You are free to come and go from here, I am happy to have you. But quite frankly we dont care to hear your bitching. We certainly dont NEED you here.

Here's the million dollar question:
As moderator, why didn't you do something about the issues at hand? You say you've talked to Baloo etc., but when it comes down to it you ultimately had the power to do whatever the fuck you wanted on that board. Balls realized this during his gay incident with Tone.

Its all good-RF Section 39
Pinstripe Prattle-Evil Empire
Batter Up-Extra Innings
Sporting Life-Outside the Bronx
Squared Circle-Wresling Discussion
Entertain Me-Music, TV, etc
Sheriffs Badge-Insane Asylum
On the Road Again-Road Trip Colums (complete with actual cuts & pastes)
I would say its the same exact thing minus the drama (which is a good thing)
Care to find me many board out there that do NOT have a sports section? An entertainment section? A general/off-topic section? Even the WRESTLING boards I am on have those.
Oh, and sorry I moved my own section over. And Balls' stuff too. Also, I was the guy that put the wrestling section on the last board. Stands to reason any board Balls and I are a part of would have a wrestling section. The Yankee section is there cause this board has not been advertised, and everyone on it is a YANKEE FAN.
What some of you fail to realize or care about is that yes, this board has many of the same features. But you know what? It does not have a lot of the crap posts and racist remarks, and not safe for work content. I quit that board, and Balls and I came here. Anyone who wants to join us, by all means. I KNOW FOR FACT a lot of people were hoping for an alternative. Well, here it is.
And in time it will all make sense.

Despite the fact that this could be answered, given that we are trying to end the badmouthing of the other board, I won't bother.
It just doesn't make sense to go back and forth when you make a decision to move on. Time to close this thread up.

You're kidding, right? Whenever I did something I had a dozen people piling on and raising a stink. People spamming the board, bringing up old posts, crying a river. I was not able to suspend people, only delete posts. And frankly I had better things to do, like work, than sit and delete post after post by a guy spamming the board.
I dont have to worry about that here. The only people who did that garbage wont be around. Bottom line, and this is the main reason I did this, I told Baloo specifically I could not stand to be on a board with Tone and Frost. They knew it. Baloo knew it. He made his choice. I am now on a board with people I want to be on a board with.
