this is possibly the greatest thread since the MadMax one a year or 2 back that made 20/30/40?? pages.
This thread is relevant. I'm not the only one who feels that the board has some ungrateful users. they don't know the story. some one has to tell it. I will.
Why does everything you say sound like its off of a movie poster? Fair enough though. I guess if Clutch is really upset with the lack of thanks he receives then perhaps a thread like this, in the ClutchFans.net Feedback forum would've been a good idea. Its out of place here and you know it. You want it in here for attention. Its probably important that people here know where this site came from and how much work has gone into making it the best fansite in the NBA (which, by the way, it is by a longshot), but isn't that why Clutch has an 'About' page?
I know its the best site, I've been here since that year Prince wrote that song about partying like that year. they can move this thread if they want. yeah, how many people read the ABOUT PAGE? I feel like it REALLY NEEDS TO BE READ. So I dropped this thread. Do you have the juice? <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/juAiVW5PzNI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/juAiVW5PzNI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
It seems like half the people reading this agree with you and half with me, so whatever, maybe its an important enough thread to be here. We'll see what people think tomorrow when there's actually people reading. And yes, I have lots of juice.
good. I know they will agree this is an important thread. this is the 'Me Against the World' record of this hip-hop jungle of Clutchfans.
tinman (or is it 'Pac reincarnated? I can never tell) will not rest until this thread reaches 50 pages.
It takes one guy writing a one line post in a completely unrelated thread to set off a 50 page thread? This is absolutely terrifying.
ABSOLUTELY. Be it newbies to this site or be it new Rockets fans (whether because of Yao Ming or Tracy McGrady), we don't need such history class on the evolvement of this great site and about this great team. Clutch rules. Period. As a matter of fact, tinman, I am both honored but in fact felt embarrassed that due to my 5 hours translation of an article and some controversial use of English, we got 2 Threads/2 polls directly or indirectly discussing about it.... and you created 2 of those !!! The Reason We Exist The word of 'Jealous' in Yao' mouth in Chinese is different from that In English. Yao Ming Interviews: Who do you believe? Should Pryuen stop trying to turn this board upside down? That's CRAZY......Give me a break !! That will make me proud !!!
I told MacGreat he was a coward. if he wanted to voice his opinion vs yours, he should just say it. I thought the denniscd brought up a good point on the legitamacy of press interviews. some of the stories didn't seem right to me. I did put an option for Clutchfan posters: you just believe them. I believe most of your stuff, especially with pictures. When you say Yao is helping little kids and you post a picture with Yao and some kids, that helps. I personally think we DO need to know history. History is important in China, the USA, Slovenia, Greece, Argentina, Nigeria. We need to understand why things are what they are. Plus giving props to Clutch and retelling his story was my other intent. I like Larry Smith. I'll never forget how he stepped up when Hakeem was hurt. Thanks Larry, some of us remember you! The Wright Brothers made airplanes, Hugh Hefner gave us Playboy and Clutch gave us Clutchfans!
I have to say though, I do think these whole "history" lessons are a bit...lame? Overdramatic? I've been a Rockets fan since I was four years old. I don't need to hear about the history of a website to tell me about being a Rockets fan. I bleed Rockets red, always have. I've followed Clutch Fans news for about three years, and finally I was recently allowed to register on the forum. I'm going to contribute soon. I appreciate what Clutch brought, but we don't need to be constantly reminded of the history of the site and the team. So let's just go back to talking about the Rockets and drop the pointless crap.
Of course knowing the history is important. But drilling it into people's heads over and over throughout many, many posts is very unnecessary.
Every other post of yours has some type of Chinese slander. If I didn't know any better I could've sworn you are a closet racists. Only the new "Chinese" fans wouldn't know about clutch while "all" the new "American", "Greek", etc automatically know him amirite?? Begone foul racists beast.
if one new person learns about the story of Larry Smith helping the team win when Hakeem gets hit in the face by Bill Cartright, or if one new person learns that Charles Barkley played for the minimum so the Rockets can sign a free agent, then I'm guilty. let me be guilty, knowing that i've enriched someone's life with a part of Rocket's history. When you're down and out There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well, let us realize That a change will only come When we stand together as one
