Who here gave up on JSOnline forum?

[Partial]

The thing I find incredible is that the JSO deleted it's political Forum. Apparently they are too lame to root out the trouble-makers. It's pretty typical, though. everyone gets 'punished' for the sins of the few. The one guy who complained the most about the off topic threads (he kept posting his complaints IN the threads, apparently not realizing he need not read them) was the guy ForluvofG&G. How that guy remained after dropping the N bomb following the Vikings playoff loss shows you how pathetic the site management was, even before LJ. The forum (and JSO itself) has become almost content-free.

A great excuse to get everyone to move over to their paid forum...

You can't have a successful chat forum without giving users SOME kind of ability to have off-topic discussions. I find it incredible that they're policing off-topic discussions altogther. That DEFINITELY will kill the place.

Definitely looks like a shadow of what it used to be.

IDK, i've seen quite a few successful forums (much larger than PR or JSO membership) that do not allow political conversation because it always leads to hostility and thats when the shit (hacker) start going down. Its just not worth it sometimes.

Truedat, but Mark Young's message states that they're policing off-topic discussions altogether. That's a much bigger piece of the discussion pie than just politics. I like this place because in one room I can talk about the Packers and I can walk into another and have a engaging discussion about entertainment topics. The two are totally separate and the concept works flawlessly.

Honest, intelligent and non-combative political discussions are hard to find. It's the nature of political discourse. I can see where a forum would want to draw the line at political chat, but to shut down non-Packer or non-football talk altogether? Wowsa...

Touche, pussycat

The last thing we need is people being called traitors, scumbags, etc.

Mad calls me those exact words nearly every day. HE should be banned.

Father.... why do you say such hurtful things??

Banned today

I got banned from Jsonline today

Do you really have proof that he and goats are friends?

Damn this is getting crazy. What did you do to get banned?

BTW - Welcome to PR.

I'm surprised they finally decided to put a stop to all that crap at JSO. It's a damn football forum. Romper room here was a great idea. A forum for non-football stuff. Tex is royally screwed now, he may already be banned for purposly starting an OT thread and calling it "my goddamned OT thread" and ripping JSO. That place cracks me up.

[MJZiggy]

At least he went out in grand style...wonder where he'll end up?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I see they hired a new moderator.

Probably the place will be better. Maybe I'll post there sometimes.

Hah, I see Tex refered to "good ole Nutz" in the reposted winners and losers column.

[Apok]

It was just getting ridiculous. They are not allowing discussion about anything non-Packer related anymore.

[MadtownPacker]

You aint doing shit!! You are gonna post here and thats it!!!

Now go wash my shorts!

[KYPack]

Well looks like the mighty (in his own mind) has fallen.

TPB's posts are gone!

It might've been his foolish "my goddamned OT thread" or somethin', but there is no trace of the boy.

I, too noticed him sucking up to Nutz in that one comment.

Now we may have to make him a bunker in the romper room for his broken record right wing rants.

Keep the boy out of the football Forum. He basically a cheerleader in there.

I wonder what his rap is gonna be. When he rejected our Forum, he made some snotty comments about how small we were. Something about when he "pours his heart & soul into a post" he wanted it to reach a large audience!

He pours his heart & soul into that drivel?

Why?

It's all the same crap.

[Iron Mike]

What happened to GreenDay? I sense his presence. Like the smell of sulfur that Chavez mentioned at the UN.

I miss the Photoshopped pics of Cleditus Hunt!!!!

I think our culture of acceptance here demands we even let douchebags like TPB and St Lou hang out here - unless they're here simply to make trouble like Matt did. Of course that doesn't mean you can't constantly remind them how they shat all over this place and us every chance they got and that they are, in fact, douchebags. What goes around comes around don't it?

Sometimes karma is late in getting around to business, but she can be a bitch.

One of two things will happen - they will come here and be apologetic and recognize that what we have is great

-or-

they will stay and be bitter and proud and live and die on the two worthwhile threads a day.
