You hit the nail on th head, thats exactly the problem. People actually reply to these ridiculous threads and thats what keeps them going.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! i agree somewhat buck88, but it's getting to the point where it's hard to figure out which threads are worth going through in GARM. the realgm trade proposals and yao fan only garbage needs to stop. i shouldn't talk since i've only been here for a few months, but i don't think the threads that i've submitted have been that stupid... well... maybe a little stupid. senior member and/or member over a year forum sounds kinda cool.
This is kinda the problem right here. OmegaSupreme I'm not picking on you here, I'm really not but this is the attitude of alot of posters here. Some feel they are superior to others because of their post count for pete's shake. I'm really sorry you feel like you are having a hard time figuring out which threads are worth your time going through. If your time is that presious then maybe a BBS board is not the right place for you. Again I'm not attacking OmegaSupreme here (I'm not about that) I'm making reference to this board as a whole. And I love CluthCity and this board, let me get that out there so no one confuses what I'm saying. But a little live and let live attitude might not be such a bad thing.
Wait... Who are these "Rockets"? And who are Van Gundy and Dunleavy? Are they television stars or politicians? ... I think I'm finally getting a glimpse behind the curtain here...
I'm not sure you get it, when people post thread after thread of nonsense it pushes other quality threads to the back pages too fast. There are certain members who's threads I will go to if I see them, but its hard to find them sandwiched between all the crud. As for post counts I don't think anyone thinks their special if they have tons of posts, but having a new member read and understand how things work for a little while makes sense. This seems like an issue best handled by the Clutch Crew, they probably get the biggest headaches from the GARM. I just read the Arena forum anyway.
Senior Member forum will NEVER work. You will get newbs trying to post 300 as fast as they can for access. It would only make things worse.
yes you are picking on me.... i'm going to cry now. i don't think that my count of posts makes me superior to anything. all it shows is that i spend too much time goofing off at work and that i should be fired. but, it also shows that i've been on here long enough to know how to post threads that don't irriate people. this board isn't for me because i don't care for a GARM that looks like this? : Van Gundy is a Good Coach Gundy is a Bad Coach Jeff Van Gundy is a Good and Bad Coach and I'm Bipolar Fire Jeff Van Gundy Why is Hiring Van Gundy Taking So Long? Gundy is a Great Coach Van Gundy is a Awesome Coach Poll: Is Gundy an Awesome Coach or a Good Coach? Poll: Yao is Yao Blacker Than Duncan? Yao is Better Than Shaq Yao is By Far Better Than Shaq Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming... Yao is Better and Not Better Than Shaq Yao Ming: The Man Behind the Mystery catch my drift? hey clutch, you know that i'm not downing your masterpiece of a board here... just further pointing out something that someone already has (ooops... that makes me a hipocrite doesn't it?). anyway again, post count is good for proving that you've been here long enough to know how to not irritate people and not make the admins do unnecessary work by going through and locking up all the garbage that's already been posted or is just flat out irrelevant.
I think we have a resolution. there is only one way to take back our Rockets Forum. HARDCORE NEWBIE BASHING. who the **** is with me?
As long as it doesn't get me banned... you see I GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO!!!!! officer and a gentleman, only thing worth seeing with Richard Gere.
You know, typically, n00bs don't go to any other forums besides the GARM. Therefore, you could theoretically start a Rockets thread in the Hangout and have only the "cool" posters show up for discussion. However, I'm sure those b*stard admins will probably move the thread into its proper forum, thereby ruining a perfectly good plan. "I would've gotten away with it too, had it not been for that meddling DOD!" BTW, I went to a "Pimps and Hos" theme party in Cambodia for Hank Scorpio, and I met Steve Francis there (along with Bronson Pinchot, Zora from Joe Millionaire, and Yanni). Steve told me in the strictest confidence that Dunleavy is DEFINITELY going to be the next Turbo mascot. He also said that CD was on the verge of acquiring Sam Perkins to play shooting guard (with his deadly, but God-awful ugly 3-point shot). If you guys don't believe me, you will all die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. We'll see who's right.... which obviously will be me. And it won't be you, because it'll be ME who's right, and YOU will ALL be wrong. Why? Because I'm ME, and I'm right.

Thanks. I figure I need to turn up the heat before people with member numbers of 11-jillion pass me up. Oh well. At least I'll still have more posts than Keeley.
