Dude, you were in the contest. You were a #14 seed, and got your butt whipped in the first round. And even worse news: The guy who beat you (1) didn't know he was in the contest either, and (2) isn't even a Rockets fan.
rimbaud and Jeff btw, I think we all know jeff deserves to be top hot doggy!!! .....besides, only he could have beaten me in this tourny!
I used to enjoy the occasionaly arguments you would get into here, and am glad they still happen on the Rockets forum sometimes. There is nothing mroe fun than watching the site operator duke it out with someone . It's cool that you're not just a no personality site owner but let your opinion known. My votes go to: RM95 - both choices were good, but RM95 seems to have been more active the past year. Jeff - Jeff is always active, plus he truly does post a lot in many forums.
Just razzin' ya bud The contest has been fun to watch. It's been an eye-opener too to see those who really respect you and those who just plain don't like you. As Mr. Burns says in his <a href="http://www.the-ocean.com/simpsons/burns/close.wav">best Godfather parody</a>... Interestingly enough, BR inadvertently gave me a good idea.... to possibly display info in a user's profile of a number of posts by that user broken down in each forum ... or a percentage of their posts in each forum. I wrote some queries for that info tonight, so if you're interested in the final four, here it is: <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="600"><tr><td bgcolor="#000000"><table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="100%"><tr bgcolor="#333399"><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff"> </FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">NBA Dish</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">Rockets 2002</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">Rockets SAVED!</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">College Corner/NBA Draft</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">Rockets Classifieds</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">Texans, Astros, Comets</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">BBS Hangout</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">Fantasy Sports Leagues</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">CC.NET Feedback</FONT></td><td><FONT face="arial" size="1" color="#ffffff">Counted Posts</FONT></td></tr><tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><FONT face="arial" size="2"><strong>Behad</strong></FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">1.8%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccddff"><FONT face="arial" size="2">30.0%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.2%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.01%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.01%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">1.4%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccffdd"><FONT face="arial" size="2">49.5%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ffddcc"><FONT face="arial" size="2">13.9%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">2.7%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">3829</FONT></td></tr><tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><FONT face="arial" size="2"><strong>Jeff</strong></FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.4%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccddff"><FONT face="arial" size="2">27.5%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ffddcc"><FONT face="arial" size="2">19.6%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.01%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.002%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.6%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccffdd"><FONT face="arial" size="2">50.7%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.001%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.9%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">7648</FONT></td></tr><tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><FONT face="arial" size="2"><strong>rimbaud</strong></FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">2.1%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccddff"><FONT face="arial" size="2">24.2%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.6%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.7%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccffdd"><FONT face="arial" size="2">56.6%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ffddcc"><FONT face="arial" size="2">14.3%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">1.5%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">2162</FONT></td></tr><tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><FONT face="arial" size="2"><strong>Rocketman95</strong></FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ffddcc"><FONT face="arial" size="2">4.6%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccddff"><FONT face="arial" size="2">18.3%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.8%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">1.5%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">0.1%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">2.4%</FONT></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ccffdd"><FONT face="arial" size="2">69.1%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">2.2%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">1.1%</FONT></td><td align="right"><FONT face="arial" size="2">5035</FONT></td></tr></table></td></tr></table> <font size="1" face="arial">#1 = green, #2 = blue, #3 = red</font> At a 69.1% rate, I think Rocketman95 should be dubbed "Hangout Boy", ala Millhouse/Fallout Boy. Of course every super hero has to have the female version, and in this case "Hangout Girl" is Mrs. JB, whose post count is dominated by this forum at a 99.54% clip.
Wow. More Rockets forum posts and less Hangout posts than all other final four participants. I'll gladly accept all the vote changes that should be coming my way! At last count, public voting was 29-17 in Jeff's favor. I just need 6 of you to change your vote, and I can take down the mighty Balke.
Voting is Closed, btw. You should be proud Behad, you came closer to beating Jeff than anyone else did.
I wouldn't have known it then...I was banned from the board until the time that the sweet 16 started.
Yup...Clutch gave me three weeks time-out and though I know what precipitated it, i don't understand why. I was let back when the Indiana trade went down. If Krause hadn't made the trade, I still might be on the outside. Next time I guess I'm gone forever.
Oh boo-hoo. It might be because you were dredging up 2-year old threads faster than I could delete the posts, so I took away your posting privileges temporarily (which I told you), at which point you unleashed a tirade that I kicked you only because you're a Bulls fan and "don't bother reinstating me - I'm not coming back!"... .... followed by about 6 emails over the next few weeks begging to come back, which I just put in the trash bin next to your other host of emails asking (legitimately) for moderator rights to the BBS. <I>Please.</I>
